Head of Finance & Business Analytics

About Ashbourne Enterprises

Ashbourne Enterprises is a dynamic, multi‑entity organization with operations spanning hospitality, retail, agriculture, events, and related ventures. We are building businesses that are both operationally excellent and deeply experience‑driven — and we are looking for a finance leader who can help bring clarity, discipline, and strategic insight to a complex and growing environment.

Location and Position Type

Louisville, KY
Full‑Time | Exempt | In‑Person

Position Summary

Head of Finance & Business Analytics to lead financial reporting, analytics, forecasting, and decision support across a multi‑entity operating environment. This is not a traditional back‑office finance role. This leader will play a central role in helping the CEO and senior leadership team understand performance, improve margin, strengthen cash discipline, and build the financial infrastructure needed to scale. The ideal candidate is both highly strategic and deeply hands‑on — someone who can build dashboards, improve systems, own reporting accuracy, and turn fragmented data into actionable business insight, with a desire to evolve the role in a strategic financial partner to the CEO.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain dashboards for labor, margin, inventory, cash flow, and operational performance
• Establish clear reporting frameworks for both legal/tax compliance and operational decision‑making
• Design financial models, forecasts, and decision tools: develop rolling forecasts, budgeting tools, breakeven models, and unit‑level profitability analysis
• Integrate data from systems including Sage Intacct, Revel, Paycor, InFlow, and other platforms to create a more unified source of truth
• Lead financial reporting and monthly close across multiple entities and business lines
• Identify inefficiencies, cost leakage, underperforming assets, and opportunities for improved resource allocation
• Support stronger financial governance, intercompany reporting, allocation structures, and scalable financial processes
• Partner directly with the CEO on strategic planning, financial visibility, and organizational decision‑making
• Coordinate with external accounting, tax, and financial advisory partners

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
• 5–10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience required
• Advanced Sage Intacct experience required, including reporting, dashboards, and multi‑entity management
• Experience in multi‑entity, multi‑business, or family office‑style environments strongly preferred
• Experience leading a finance function or team required
• Strong command of financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and business analytics, including financial modeling and systems‑thinking capabilities
• CPA or experience working closely with CPA/advisory partners preferred
• Industry experience in hospitality, retail, agriculture, food & beverage, or similar operating businesses preferred

Characteristics

• Thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑complexity environment with evolving structures and multiple simultaneous priorities
• Exhibits independent thinking, strong initiative, and comfort making decisions with incomplete information
• Seeks to build new systems and processes rather than maintaining established ones
• Adapts to frequent shifts between big‑picture strategy and detailed analysis
• Comfortable challenging assumptions, identifying problems, and driving change
• Believes that success requires persistence, curiosity, and a willingness to dig into details to understand root causes

Why This Role Matters

This role is essential to helping Ashbourne Enterprises build the financial clarity and operational discipline needed to support smart growth. Success in this role means creating stronger visibility across the enterprise, improving financial decision‑making, and building systems that allow the business to scale with confidence.

Work Environment

• Primarily in‑office in the Louisville, KY area
• Local travel between business locations in Jefferson and Oldham County may be required
• Additional evening or weekend work may occasionally be needed based on business demands

Benefits

• Our comprehensive and competitive benefits package includes 401(k) retirement plan, health insurance options (traditional or HSA), dental and vision coverage, life insurance, Employee Assistance Program, paid time off, and employee discounts.
