Director Of Finance And Growth

Tatum Management Group is seeking a highly capable Director of Finance and Growth to bring financial discipline, growth strategy, reporting clarity, and business intelligence across the businesses supported by Tatum Management Group. This role is ideal for someone who understands both numbers and business growth. We are looking for a financial leader who can help manage budgets, forecast cash flow, evaluate profitability, build reports, support strategic decisions, and identify opportunities to increase revenue and reduce waste. This is not simply a bookkeeping role. This person must be able to look at the financial health of multiple businesses, explain what the numbers mean, and help leadership make better decisions. The Director of Finance and Growth will work closely with Brandon Tatum, the COO, accounting professionals, department heads, and business leaders across the organization.

• Help establish financial controls, approval processes, spending policies, and reporting rhythms.
• Review subscriptions, vendor contracts, payroll costs, inventory costs, and unnecessary expenses.
• Help leadership protect cash, improve margins, and make informed decisions.
