Director of Finance

$160k

Frey Consulting Group

  • Compensation: $160,000 base salary (DOE) + annual bonus
Required Skills
  • Financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and financial reporting
  • Strong understanding of finance, including cost accounting and capital project analysis
  • CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or equivalent advanced certification
Preferred Skills
  • Cross-functional operational oversight (IT, Banking, Legal, Risk)
  • Experience with banking relationships, borrowing base reporting, and covenant compliance
  • External audit and corporate tax oversight
Employer Value Proposition

A true executive seat at the table. Step into a broad, multi-disciplinary leadership role where you influence corporate strategy beyond the balance sheet, spearhead multi-departmental growth, and directly shape operational success.

Strategic Financial Leadership with True Operational Impact

As the Director of Finance, you will serve as a key catalyst for growth and operational excellence across the entire enterprise. You will work side-by-side with the President, Board of Directors, and department heads to turn financial insights into transformative business strategies. Beyond driving core financial performance and cost accounting strategy, you will step up as an operational anchor—guiding Finance, Accounting, Human Resources, and IT toward unified success. It’s a rare opportunity to step into a high-visibility, broad-scope role where your financial acumen directly propels long-term profitability and sustainable industry leadership.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Broad Enterprise Influence: Drive decisions that touch every department—from steering capital investments and cost accounting to guiding IT, and legal operations.
  • Direct C-Suite Partnership: Act as a trusted strategic advisor to the President, Board of Directors, and key external partners, presenting high-level financial vision and risk management strategies.
  • Empowered Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a robust multi-disciplinary organization, including accounting with dedicated support staff.
  • Comprehensive Growth Scope: Manage key external relationships—including banking partners, insurance brokers, legal counsel, and audit firms—giving you full control over operational health.
How You Will Drive Success
  • Shape Strategic Vision: Partner with executive leadership to craft financial models, annual budgets, and forward-looking forecasts that drive sustainable top-line growth.
  • Optimize Operations: Apply sharp cost accounting and capital allocation strategies to unlock profitability across complex business operations.
  • Lead & Mentor Teams: Inspire and elevate a talented team across accounting, finance, and IT operations to build a collaborative, high-performance culture.
  • Govern Risk & Capital: Oversee banking covenants, borrowing base reporting, corporate insurance, and tax/audit compliance to safeguard company stability.
What You Bring
  • Proven Expertise: 8-10+ years of progressive financial and accounting leadership.
  • Core Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration; active CPA or relevant advanced credential required.
  • Mastery of Financial Mechanics: Deep proficiency in cost accounting, financial modeling, capital investment analysis, and corporate reporting.
  • Broad Business Acumen: Experience or strong readiness to oversee adjacent operational functions like IT infrastructure partners, and risk/legal management.
