As we double in size annually, the "Office of the CFO" requires a leader who possesses uncompromising integrity, professional maturity, and a high degree of candor. The successful candidate will be a hands-on professional who ensures deadlines for the month-end financial close are met timely and accurately. Beyond technical proficiency, we look for "culture carriers"—individuals who maintain a championship-team mentality, stay "mentally present" in every interaction, and proactively protect the integrity of our financial data and team environment. We operate with low ego and high coachability; the ideal candidate welcomes constructive feedback, actively rejects defensive or rigid mindsets, and approaches problem-solving with a calm, team-first demeanor. We seek a collaborative professional who respects leadership directives, alignment, and established chain of command while actively stepping outside of their immediate desk silo to leverage operational downtime and support teammates during high-volume periods.

Strategic Variance Analysis: Performs monthly balance sheet, income statement, and changes in financial position variance analyses; possesses intimate knowledge of various entities to explain or correct discrepancies.

Proactive Communication: Maintains a standard of radical transparency with leadership; identifies potential bottlenecks or risks to the close timeline and communicates them proactively rather than reactively. Team Presence & Energy: Actively engages in daily stand‑ups and collaborative sessions; contributes to a high-performance floor culture by remaining solution‑oriented and professional even during high‑pressure cycles. Demonstrates strong emotional intelligence and composure; approaches procedural updates and leadership directives with a receptive, collaborative attitude rather than a resistive or defensive posture. Operational Agility: Self‑starter who meets multiple deadlines in stressful situations, proactively offers assistance to cross‑functional peers during peak workloads, makes time for unplanned assignments, and adapts quickly to changing priorities under the PE‑sponsor model. Policy Compliance: Follows all company policies and procedures, serving as a model for Unleashed’s Core Values and maintaining strict confidentiality.
