Position Overview

The Chief Financial Officer will have full responsibility for the financial health, accounting operations, reporting, cash management, forecasting, risk management, and administrative compliance functions across multiple operating companies. This person must be equally comfortable developing financial strategy, reviewing company performance with ownership, managing banking and insurance relationships, and ensuring that monthly reconciliations, payroll, billing, accounts payable, and financial reporting are completed accurately and on time.

The successful candidate will bring structure, accountability, and visibility to a growing organization while developing the people, processes, systems, and controls required to support continued expansion.
