Reports To: Chief Financial Officer / Executive Leadership
Department: Corporate Finance and Accounting Employment
Type: Full-Time / Exempt
Position Overview
We are seeking an accomplished, operationally driven Director of Corporate Finance to lead enterprise financial planning, controllership, treasury, and commercial decision support. Serving as a key strategic advisor to the executive leadership team, operating heads, and board members, this role will bridge the gap between financial governance and operational execution.
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in multi-entity financial management, US GAAP compliance, advanced cost accounting, and multi-year rolling cash-flow forecasting. You will lead both long-range strategic financial planning and day-to-day fiscal governance—translating complex operational and production drivers into actionable plans that protect gross margins, optimize working capital, and accelerate business growth.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Planning, Analysis & Executive Decision Support
- Direct the annual corporate budgeting process, multi-year rolling cash-flow projections, sensitivity analyses, and long-range strategic models.
- Partner closely with operations, sales, engineering, and manufacturing/project leads to assess fixed vs. variable cost structures, product/project gross margins, pricing strategies, and budget-to-actual variances.
- Deliver actionable executive dashboards and operational KPIs, translating production throughput, WIP, and unit economics into clear commercial guidance for C-suite executives and the Board of Directors.
- Lead enterprise capital expenditure (CapEx) planning, evaluating capital improvement requests, validating operational assumptions, and conducting post-investment ROI analyses.
Controllership, Multi-Entity Consolidations and US GAAP Compliance
- Maintain complete oversight of monthly, quarterly, and year-end close cycles across multiple operating entities, ensuring GAAP compliance and accurate financial statements.
- Supervise advanced cost accounting workflows, including standard costing, inventory valuation, cost/intercompany allocations, and consolidated eliminations.
- Oversee all accounting functions across complex commercial operations.
- Coordinate annual external audits, regulatory compliance submissions (including federal/state compliance), and internal control reviews to guarantee continuous audit-readiness.
Treasury, Working Capital & Capital Markets
- Manage liquidity management, rolling cash-flow forecasts, operating credit facilities, debt compliance, and commercial banking relationships.
- Enhance working capital performance by optimizing cash conversion cycles, capital deployment, and credit/collections policies (targeting past-due AR reductions and DSO compression).
- Support M&A due diligence, financial impact studies, subcontracting negotiations, and financing arrangements for facility, capital, or commercial expansion.
Team Leadership & Operational Excellence
- Lead, mentor, and structure a high-performing finance and accounting organization spanning FP&A, general ledger, and operational accounting.
- Drive business process automation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and robust internal controls that increase reporting efficiency and cross-functional transparency.
Candidate Qualifications & Experience
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related quantitative field required. Master’s degree (MBA) or active CPA / CMA certification preferred.
- Experience: 12–15+ years of progressive financial leadership experience, including at least 5–7 years in senior roles such as Corporate Controller, Director of FP&;A, Director of Finance, or CFO.
- Industry Expertise: Proven track record within complex, asset-intensive, or project-based industries—such as integrated sales & finance or consumer lending.
- Technical Acumen: Comprehensive mastery of US GAAP, multi-entity consolidations, intercompany eliminations, financial close acceleration, and board-level reporting.
- Cost Accounting: Demonstrated strength in standard costing, inventory valuation, job costing, WIP schedules, and project profitability analysis.
- FP&A and Treasury: Hands-on capability in complex financial modeling, rolling cash forecasts, scenario analysis, and CapEx justification.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Demonstrated success partnering with non-financial operating leaders (location managers, project directors, engineers) to protect margins and reduce operational waste.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary commensurate with executive-level experience, plus annual performance incentive bonus.
- Comprehensive executive health, dental, and vision insurance packages.
- 401(k) retirement plan with competitive corporate match.
- Paid time off (PTO), executive paid holidays, and professional development support.
