  • Build and enhance financial systems, dashboards, and KPIs that enable data-driven decision making across the organization.

  • Develop long-term financial models to support growth initiatives, M&A, and market expansion.

  • Oversee cash management, credit facilities, and banking relationships.

  • Serve as the primary liaison with the private equity sponsor, providing transparent performance reporting and investor communications.

  • Ensure timely and accurate month-end closes and audit processes.

  • Recruit, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team capable of scaling with the company.

  • Partner with the CEO and Board on strategic planning, risk management, and potential exit scenarios.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred.

  • 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including at least 3–5 years in a private-equity-backed or multi-unit consumer business.

  • Proven success managing financial operations for a company with multi-state retail, restaurant, or service locations.

  • Deep knowledge of GAAP, FP&A, and financial controls.

  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex data into clear business insights.

  • Experience with ERP implementations and financial systems optimization.

  • Track record of partnering with PE sponsors, lenders, and auditors.

  • Excellent leadership, communication, and presentation skills.

What Success Looks Like

  • Accurate and timely financial reporting that drives confident decision-making.

  • Streamlined, scalable financial infrastructure across all markets.

  • Improved profitability and cash flow through disciplined cost management.

  • Strong, trusted relationships with investors, lenders, and leadership.

  • A finance team built for growth and operational excellence.
