Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and collaborative financial leader with a fun, outgoing personality who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves, driving results, and working alongside passionate people who are building something meaningful—this role is for you.
The Director of Finance plays a critical role in overseeing our financial health and helping shape the financial strategy that supports our long-term growth. This is not a desk-bound or siloed role—you’ll be in the mix, working closely with the CEO, Advisor Board, department leaders, and the broader team to create financial visibility, optimize decision-making, and fuel performance across the organization.
We’re looking for someone who brings financial acumen, a strong bias for action, and a willingness to dig into the details while keeping sight of the big picture. You’ll lead a capable team, guide modernization efforts in reporting and systems, and help professionalize processes as we scale—while staying agile and responsive to the opportunities in front of us.
We’re on a strong growth trajectory, and this role is a chance to make a visible, tangible impact. Your fingerprints will be on every major financial decision, from job costing to capital allocation to process improvement. If you’re energized by solving problems, building from the ground up, and being part of a leadership team that takes ownership seriously, we’d love to meet you.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

  • CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) required; CGMA designation is a plus.
  • 10+ years of progressive financial leadership experience, ideally in a manufacturing or product-based business.
  • Hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up experience across all key accounting and finance functions.
  • Proven track record of building systems, processes, and teams in high-growth environments.
  • Strong background in financial forecasting, cost accounting, and capital planning.
  • Deep understanding of ERP systems and analytics tools.
  • Ability to operate with urgency and precision under tight deadlines.
  • Clear communicator and problem solver who builds strong cross-functional relationships.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

  • Entrepreneurial Energy: Operate in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment where there’s room to innovate and freedom to build systems that work.
  • Growth Trajectory: Help us scale the business by implementing modern job costing, supporting high-impact projects, and optimizing processes that fuel our expansion.
