This executive will serve as a key partner to the CEO and leadership team, driving financial performance, scalability, and long‑term growth.

This is not a back‑office CFO role—we are seeking a leader who understands the operational heartbeat of a restaurant or retail business and can translate financial data into actionable strategy across a complex, multi‑location footprint.

• Develop and manage budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling processes
• Deliver insights on unit‑level economics, labor models, and cost controls
• Oversee cash flow, capital structure, and banking relationships
• Evaluate M&A opportunities, site development investments, and new market expansion
• Ensure compliance with all financial, regulatory, and reporting requirements
• Build, mentor, and scale a high‑performing finance team

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a CFO or senior finance executive within the restaurant, retail, or multi‑unit consumer‑facing industry
• Deep understanding of multi‑unit, multi‑state operations and unit‑level financial performance
• Strong background in scaling organizations through growth phases (organic and/or acquisition)
• Expertise in financial planning, analytics, and operational finance
• Experience working closely with ownership, private equity, or board stakeholders preferred
• Demonstrated ability to influence cross‑functional leaders and drive results
• CPA, MBA, or equivalent financial leadership credentials preferred

Why This Role

• High‑impact executive leadership position with direct influence on company growth and strategy
• Opportunity to shape the financial future of a dynamic, expanding organization
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial leadership team
• Competitive compensation package including bonus and potential equity upside
