Chief Financial Officer

Job description

Chief Financial Officer (Automotive Dealership Group – Franchise + Highline)

TxTCharlie Automotive Group is a high-end, performance-driven dealership group specializing in exotic and luxury vehicles (Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari, Bmw and more). We are also a franchise dealer for Morgan Motor Cars out of the UK. We operate across multiple divisions including retail, wholesale, service, body, and real estate, and we do over $160M+ in annual sales with strong profitability.

We are now entering a major growth phase, including the acquisition of a Kia franchise dealership, and we’re building the financial infrastructure to support a multi-rooftop, franchise-level organization.

Role Summary

We’re hiring a hands-on, franchise-capable CFO who understands dealership operations at a deep level — floorplan, OEM statements, working capital, internal controls, and lender/OEM reporting.

This role is not a “monthly financials” job. We need a CFO who runs the business through:

daily cash control

and real-time reporting that drives decisions

You’ll partner directly with ownership and build the financial operating system that supports both highline performance and franchise scale.

Rare opportunity to be the CFO for a high-performing group entering franchise expansion

Direct partnership with a hands-on owner

Ability to architect the finance function from the ground up

Involvement in acquisition integration, OEM reporting, and future rooftop growth

Franchise + OEM Financial Support (Kia Acquisition and Beyond)

Support acquisition transition and ongoing OEM financial requirements

Ensure accurate and compliant reporting for OEM programs, metrics, and audits

Floorplan + Banking + Lenders

Manage relationships with banks, lenders, and floorplan providers

Optimize floorplan utilization, curtailments, interest expense, and capital structure

Prepare lender packages, OEM packages, and executive-level financial reporting

Controls, Accountability, and Risk Management

Strengthen internal controls, approvals, segregation of duties, and compliance

Implement systems to prevent errors, overspending, and financial blind spots

Drive disciplined expense management across all departments

Reporting + Operating Rhythm

Build dashboards and KPI scorecards for ownership (simple, fast, accurate)

Create department-level P&Ls and profitability by division

Improve reporting accuracy and reduce close time

Provide decision support for growth initiatives, capital allocation, and real estate projects

Leadership + Team Development

Lead and develop the finance team (Controller/Comptroller + staff)

Hire or upgrade roles as needed to build a franchise-ready finance department

Drive accountability, urgency, and high standards within the accounting function

Required Qualifications

7–10+ years of senior finance leadership experience in automotive
