Your PurposeWe're looking for a
hands-on, operational finance leader to serve as our EVP of Finance & Accounting (CFO equivalent).
This is not a traditional "reporting" CFO role.
This is a role for someone who:
- Builds systems
- Drives performance
- Partners with operations
- Turns financial data into better business decisions
You will lead finance across the enterprise while helping us scale from a strong foundation into our next phase of
profitable, organic growth.
🚫 What This Role Is NOTThis role is
not focused on:
- Transaction-heavy M&A or deal-making environments
- Pure accounting or compliance leadership
- Highly layered, large corporate finance structures
We are looking for a
builder and operator-someone who thrives in a mid-market environment and enjoys rolling up their sleeves to improve how the business runs.
What You'll Do- Lead the entire finance function: FP&A, accounting, treasury, and risk
- Build and scale a driver-based forecasting and planning model
- Establish clear KPIs tied to operational performance (margin, throughput, working capital)
- Improve visibility into cost structure, profitability, and performance drivers
- Partner closely with operations and leadership to drive organic revenue and margin growth
- Own the integrity of financial reporting, controls, and the close process
- Lead banking, insurance, audit, tax, and legal relationships
- Build, coach, and elevate a high-performing finance team
- Serve as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team
What Success Looks Like (Year 1)- A scalable, driver-based FP&A function is in place
- Leadership is using financial insights-not reports-to make decisions
- Clear visibility into margin, cost drivers, and business unit performance
- Finance is seen as a true business partner, not a back-office function
What You Bring (Briefcase)Required Experience:- 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including senior leadership (CFO, VP Finance, or equivalent)
- Experience leading finance in a manufacturing, product-based, or operationally complex business
- Ownership of cost structure, margins, inventory, and working capital
- Proven success building FP&A and KPI systems that drive performance (not just reporting results)
- Experience in mid-market environments ($50M-$300M revenue range)
Strongly Preferred:- Multi-location or multi-business-unit leadership
- Experience in private, family-owned, or entrepreneurial environments
- ERP and financial systems implementation or transformation experience
Skills & Abilities (Head)- You translate financial data into operational decisions that improve performance
- You've built systems-not just maintained them
- You're as comfortable in the details as you are in the boardroom
- You bring a strong bias for action and accountability
- You've succeeded in environments where you needed to build, not inherit
♥ Who You Are (Heart)You're a strategic, servant-style leader who balances vision with execution. You communicate clearly, lead with self-awareness, and aren't afraid to offer candid input-with tact and respect.
You thrive in growth environments, enjoy building teams and systems, and bring a calm, steady presence to complex decisions. You're as comfortable in the weeds as you are in the boardroom-and you know when each is required.
