  • Maintain regular communication with the board and ownership regarding financial and accounting functions.
  • Serve as the primary contact for corporate and equipment lenders, managing relationships, leading presentations, and addressing inquiries.
  • Approve check signing and ACH transactions, ensuring adherence to formal processes, documentation standards, and authority delegations.
  • Manage key vendor relationships to optimize days payable outstanding (DPO) and support business interests.
  • Oversee collections efforts, tracking accounts receivable (A/R) milestones and minimizing days sales outstanding (DSO).
  • Monitor and report company KPIs, collaborating with FP&A personnel to provide insights for executives and investors.
  • Support mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities, including pre-transaction analysis and post-transaction financial integration for new businesses or expansions.
  • Advise the CEO on financial strategy, with a focus on liquidity management and financial forecasting.
  • Lead the implementation of financial systems (e.g., NetSuite), coordinating with internal and external project teams.
  • Drive margin control initiatives, developing data tools and integrating with ERP systems to support the sales team.


EDUCATIONAL AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance (required); MBA and/or CPA (preferred).
  • Experience:
    • 15+ years of professional experience, including 5+ years in senior finance leadership roles.
    • Experience in private equity and familiarity with board and investor communications is highly valued.

    • Experience managing multi-site, geographically distributed teams, including talent recruitment, retention, and development.
