This role is perfect for a hands‑on financial leader who knows how to bring clarity, discipline, and structure to a growing organization.

Upgrade and standardize processes, policies, and financial systems to support scalability.

Develop, coach, and support the Director of Accounting and the broader finance/admin team.

Build strong cross‑functional alignment between Finance, Operations, and Leadership.

Drive initiatives in vendor management, budget discipline, governance, and process optimization.

Qualifications

5+ years of progressive financial operations or accounting leadership experience.

Strong experience with contracts, insurance, compliance, and risk management.

Demonstrated success building or modernizing systems, controls, and processes in a growing company.

Leadership style that is hands‑on, accountable, collaborative, and strong in mentorship.

CPA preferred but not required.

Why This Role

Professionalize and modernize the financial foundation.

Influence strategic decision‑making and long‑term planning.
