Chief Financial Officer Brief summary of duties: As a key member of the Executive Team, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) reports directly to the CEO and drives the strategy, vision, and overall leadership of the Finance, Accounting, and Treasury functions. The CFO leads the planning, implementation, management, and control of all financial activities for the company, including accounting, forecasting, strategic planning, working capital & liquidity management, and collaboration with leaders on compliance matters. This is a hands‑on, “working” CFO role with both strategic and operational responsibilities.

Travel: Travel to company, customer and vendor sites, including some that are out of country may be required. (Up to 20%) COMPANY VALUES: * Deliver Legendary Service: It’s all about the experience. With every experience, do the little things, as well as the big things, that surprise people. Make every interaction stand out for its helpfulness. Create the “WOW” factor that turns customers into raving fans. This includes both internal and external customers. * Do the Right Thing, Always: Demonstrate an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing in every action you take and in every decision you make, especially when no one’s looking. Always tell the truth, no matter the consequences. If you make a mistake, own up to it, apologize, and make it right. * Practice Blameless Problem-Solving: Demonstrate a relentless solution focus, rather than pointing fingers or dwelling on problems. Identify lessons learned and use those lessons to improve ourselves and our processes so we don’t make the same mistake twice. Get smarter with every mistake. Learn from every experience. * Contribute to Profit: We’re in business to deliver value for our customers while making money. We all play a role in building revenue that exceeds our expenses. Look for ways to increase our sales, develop new customers, and control our expenses. * Honor Commitments: Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it. This includes being on time for all phone calls, appointments, and meetings. If a commitment can’t be fulfilled, notify others early and agree on a new deliverable to be honored. * Embrace Change and Growth: What got us here is not the same as what will get us to the next level. Get outside your comfort zone, rather than stubbornly hanging on to old ways of doing things. Be excited by the possibilities that change, and growth bring. Be flexible. * Be Positive: You have the power to choose your attitude. Choose to be joyful, optimistic, and enthusiastic. See the good in others. Your attitude is contagious. Spread optimism and positive energy. * Keep Things Fun: While our passion for excellence is real, remember that the world has bigger problems than the daily challenges that make up our work. Stuff happens. Keep perspective. Don’t take things personally or take yourself too seriously. Laugh every day.
