Finance Director

Senior Director of Finance
Strategic Financial Leader | Growth Architect | Executive Business Partner

Our client is seeking an accomplished financial executive who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operational excellence, and transformational leadership. This is far more than a traditional finance role-it's an opportunity to influence enterprise-wide decision-making, shape long-term growth strategy, and serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership.

The ideal candidate is equal parts strategist, operator, and coach-someone who can see the big picture while maintaining rigorous control over financial performance, reporting integrity, and business optimization.

If you are a high-impact finance leader who enjoys building scalable processes, developing teams, and driving measurable business outcomes in a fast-paced, multi-location environment, this could be your next defining opportunity.

Enterprise Financial Strategy & Executive Leadership

• Partner with executive leadership to shape financial strategy aligned with organizational growth objectives.
• Translate business goals into actionable financial roadmaps, forecasts, and long-range planning initiatives.
• Serve as a key strategic voice in investment decisions, business expansion, capital allocation, and performance optimization.
• Deliver clear, data-driven insights that influence executive decision-making at the highest levels.
• Build, mentor, and elevate a high-performing finance organization centered around accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Financial Planning, Analysis & Performance Management

• Create executive-level reporting packages that communicate financial performance with clarity and impact.

Accounting, Controls & Financial Governance

• Oversee accounting operations with an unwavering commitment to accuracy, compliance, and financial integrity.
• Ensure timely preparation of financial statements, reporting packages, and regulatory documentation.
• Lead audit readiness, internal and external audit coordination, and financial documentation management.
• Strengthen internal controls, risk mitigation frameworks, and governance practices that protect organizational assets.
• Partner with external advisors on tax planning, reporting, and compliance initiatives.

Cash Flow, Revenue Optimization & Capital Management

• Direct cash management strategy, liquidity forecasting, and working capital optimization.
• Oversee revenue recognition practices, billing workflows, and financial policies that support sustainable growth.
• Manage capital planning and financial oversight for strategic investment initiatives.
• Identify cost containment opportunities while preserving business momentum and operational effectiveness.
• Drive profitability improvements through disciplined financial analysis and operational partnership.

Systems, Analytics & Process Transformation

• Champion modern financial systems, reporting automation, and process efficiencies.
• Leverage ERP platforms and business intelligence tools to improve visibility, accuracy, and decision support.
• Build scalable reporting infrastructure that enables real-time financial insight.
• Lead financial systems upgrades, workflow enhancements, and transformation initiatives that position the organization for growth.

What We're Looking For
Experience & Credentials

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related discipline required.
• MBA, CPA, or other advanced financial credentials strongly preferred.
• 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in finance, accounting, FP&A, or corporate financial management.
• Demonstrated success leading finance in complex, fast-moving, multi-site organizations.
• Proven ability to partner cross-functionally with executive leadership, operations, legal, HR, and commercial teams.

Leadership Profile

The successful candidate will bring:

• Strategic business acumen with strong executive presence
• Advanced financial modeling and analytical capabilities
• Deep knowledge of financial reporting standards and compliance best practices
• Strong audit, controls, and governance experience
• Expertise in budgeting, forecasting, capital planning, and cash flow management

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a chance to step into a highly visible leadership role where your influence will extend well beyond the finance function. You'll help shape strategy, improve performance, lead transformation, and make a lasting impact on an evolving organization with ambitious growth plans.
