Job description
VP/Head of Finance
About Zoom Drain | Who we are:
Zoom Drain has been in the drain and sewer business since 1995, built on a deliberately narrow premise: do one thing and do it better than anyone else. Most competition in the niche comes from independent plumbing contractors who typically lack the means, or the desire, to do drains properly, so rather than compete with them, Zoom Drain turns plumbers and local shops into referral partners. That focus covers drain repairs, cleanings, inspections, septic services, and pump replacements for both residential and commercial customers, delivered on a same-day model.
Today, Zoom Drain operates as both a national franchise system and a set of company-owned operations, headquartered in Plymouth Meeting, PA, with roughly 70 employees across corporate and the Philadelphia metro markets. The business is private equity-backed and in an active growth phase, which means the systems, processes, and functional leadership are being built as the business scales.
The Role | What you’ll be doing:
The VP/Head of Finance will serve as the strategic financial advisor and lead accounting operations, financial reporting, and compliance across Zoom Drain's entities as the company scales. This hands-on role owns full-cycle accounting, financial systems, and board reporting while helping build the company's financial infrastructure.
Essential Functions | What you'll own:
Strategy and Partnership
Serve as the financial advisor to the leadership team on strategic planning
Act as the primary day-to-day finance contact for our private equity sponsor
Lead the financial workstreams on each entity (Franchise + Operations)
Accounting operations
Own all accounting operations across three legal entities, including AR, AP, general ledger, and month-end close
Own the AR/AP cycles with customers and vendors, including the systems and controls behind them
Own the financial systems, including Sage and Ramp, and lead the evaluation of what comes next
Build and lead the finance team, starting with 1-2 direct reports
Reporting and analysis
Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and board reporting
Lead budgeting, forecasting, and cash management
Build revenue and expense tracking that holds up across entities
Analyze profitability, cost, and trend data to support operating decisions
Compliance and risk

Preferred

Who does well here
You're comfortable in the details. This is a role where the senior-most finance person still reconciles accounts when it matters.
You've worked without the infrastructure, meaning no FP&A team to build the model, no controller to run the close
You can translate financial data for operators who don't speak finance
Benefits and Perks | What we offer:
Base Salary ranging from $160,000 - 180,000 plus eligibility for a performance-based annual bonus program
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
SIMPLE IRA with company match up to 3%
Paid time off and company-paid holidays
