director of finance.

e, multi entity business environment.

This is a high visibility leadership opportunity for a polished finance and accounting executive who can step in quickly, provide structure, strengthen financial operations, and partner closely with a highly capable CFO, ownership, and senior leadership.

The ideal candidate will bring proven experience overseeing finance and accounting operations across multiple locations, entities, or business units. This person must be comfortable leading Controller level talent, improving financial visibility, creating scalable processes, and helping guide continued organizational growth.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This is not a maintenance level finance role. This is an opportunity to step into a growing and operationally complex organization where your leadership will directly influence financial structure, reporting discipline, business insight, process improvement, and long term scalability.

The Vice President of Finance & Accounting will report to the CFO and oversee two Controllers across a sizable business with multiple operating entities and locations. This person will be expected to bring immediate credibility, strong accounting discipline, executive communication, and the ability to connect financial data to operational decision making.

The right candidate will have already operated in a multi site environment and understand the structure, accountability, reporting cadence, and financial visibility required to support a business of this size and complexity.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead finance and accounting operations across a multi entity, multi location business environment.

• Report to and partner closely with the CFO, ownership, and senior leadership to support business planning, profitability, growth, and long term decision making.

• Oversee, support, and develop two Controllers while strengthening accountability, consistency, accuracy, and performance across the finance function.

• Provide leadership over accounting operations including general ledger, AP, AR, month end close, reconciliations, financial reporting, cash flow, and internal controls.

• Support budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, KPI tracking, financial analysis, and executive level reporting.

• Evaluate current processes, systems, reporting structures, and controls to identify opportunities for improvement, automation, efficiency, and stronger financial visibility.

• Ensure financial practices are accurate, compliant, consistent, and scalable across the organization.

• Partner cross functionally with operational leaders to provide meaningful financial insight tied to performance, margin, cost control, inventory, growth, and business priorities.

• Strengthen financial infrastructure, reporting cadence, internal controls, and leadership visibility as the organization continues to grow.

• Serve as a trusted senior finance partner who can balance strategic leadership with practical follow through.

What We're Looking For

• Progressive finance and accounting leadership experience, ideally at the VP, Senior Director, Divisional Controller, Corporate Controller, or equivalent level.

• Proven experience supporting a multi site, multi entity, multi company, retail, distribution, service, manufacturing, or operationally complex business environment.

• Prior experience supporting an organization with approximately $80M to $100M or more in revenue.

• Experience leading Controller level talent or senior accounting leaders.

• Strong command of accounting operations, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, internal controls, and executive level financial analysis.

• ERP experience required.

• NetSuite experience is a plus.

• CPA certification is a plus, but not required.

• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to translate financial data into meaningful business guidance.

• Proven ability to bring structure, accountability, financial discipline, and scalable processes to a growing organization.

• Ability to operate with polish, confidence, urgency, and sound judgment in a fast moving entrepreneurial environment.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The strongest candidate will be a proven finance and accounting leader who has already supported a business with multiple locations, entities, or operating channels. This person should bring more than technical accounting experience. They should be a true business partner who understands how to lead through complexity, develop strong Controllers, create financial visibility, and help executive leadership make informed decisions.

We are looking for someone elevated, confident, and highly capable. This individual should be able to walk into the business, quickly assess the current finance function, identify gaps, strengthen processes, and build credibility with the CFO, ownership, Controllers, and operational leaders.

The right person will bring both executive presence and practical follow through. They should be strategic enough to sit at the leadership table, but grounded enough to understand the details behind the numbers.

Compensation and Benefits

• Compensation up to $240K, based on experience.

• Bonus opportunity.

• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.

• 401(k) program.

• Paid time off.

• Relocation assistance available for the right candidate.

• Direct hire opportunity with long term growth potential.

Why This Role

This is a unique opportunity for a proven finance and accounting executive to join a growing organization at a meaningful stage of expansion. The right person will have the ability to make an immediate impact, strengthen financial operations, support executive decision making, and help shape the next chapter of the business.

This role is ideal for someone who has already operated in a complex, multi site environment and is ready to bring that experience into a senior leadership role with visibility, influence, and long term opportunity.
