Managing Director - Construction/Manufacturing

Managing Director - Construction/Manufacturing Remote Worker - N/A Note: This is a combined seat. Construction and Manufacturing are each early-stage practices at AIOA, and one Managing Director will own both business units — including both P&Ls and both CFO teams — until the client base and team grow enough to justify splitting into two standalone practices, each with its own dedicated Managing Director. About All In One Accounting All In One Accounting is a 7-time winner of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Twin Cities and one of the Best Places to Work in the Minneapolis area. Our purpose is simple: to make the lives of entrepreneurial and nonprofit leaders better. We do that by supporting profitable growth, protecting assets, and amplifying impact — bringing financial clarity and strategic leadership to the clients who need it most. We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), which means clear goals, strong accountability, and a team that executes with intention. The Managing Director Role at AIOA At AIOA, the Managing Director is the senior leader of their industry practice — a business unit with its own P&L, its own team of CFOs, and its own book of clients. You report to the EVP, Operations and sit on the Operations leadership team. Your CFOs own individual client relationships; you own the practice system that produces excellent client outcomes at scale. The single owner of every client relationship is the CFO — your accountability is the quality of the team, the health of the practice, and the performance of the business unit(s) you run. About This Role We're seeking a Managing Director to own and lead AIOA's Construction Practice and Manufacturing Practice as a combined business unit — serving general contractors, subcontractors, home builders, developers, and specialty trade businesses alongside job shops, discrete manufacturers, process manufacturers, fabricators, and other production-oriented businesses. You set the direction, lead the people, own the practice-level client outcomes, and are accountable for the full combined P&L across both verticals. You'll lead a team of CFOs who each own their own books of construction and/or manufacturing clients. As each practice matures and its client base and team grow, we anticipate splitting Construction and Manufacturing into two standalone practices, each led by its own Managing Director — this role is the founding leader of both until that point, and the natural first candidate for one of the resulting seats. Now About You We hire for hungry, humble, and smart — and Managing Directors at AIOA bring those qualities at the highest level of individual practice ownership. Hungry means you're not just managing your practice — you're actively growing it, developing your people, and raising the bar for what great looks like. Humble means you share your expertise freely, take direction from the EVP even when you're the most experienced person in the room, and give credit generously. Smart means your CFOs and clients rely on your judgment for the most complex situations — and you've earned that trust by consistently delivering. Given the combined scope of this role, you're also comfortable operating across two distinct industries at once, switching context between construction-specific and manufacturing-specific issues without losing altitude on either. LMA Accountability In EOS, LMA — Leadership, Management, and Accountability — is the framework through which every leader fulfills their people responsibilities. As a Managing Director, your LMA accountability covers your full combined practice team across Construction and Manufacturing: you hire, develop, and retain talent, manage capacity proactively, and hold your CFOs accountable to their client and team outcomes. LMA is not a task — it is the core of your leadership role. How Business Development Works at AIOA At AIOA, business development is a team effort. A dedicated Business Development team handles lead generation and pipeline management. Your role in growth is different and complementary: you define the ideal client profile for both the Construction and Manufacturing practices, serve as the subject matter expert who closes qualified opportunities that BD surfaces in either vertical, drive expansion within your existing book, and build the external reputation that makes both practices the obvious choice in their respective industries. You are not expected to cold-call or run a pipeline. You are expected to be a credible, connected, and trusted voice in both the construction and manufacturing sectors. Own the full client portfolio of both the Construction and Manufacturing Practices at the practice level — retention, satisfaction, NPS, and expansion opportunities across both verticals The single owner of every client relationship is the CFO — your accountability is the practice system and team performance that makes those outcomes possible in both practices Serve as the escalation management
