Director of Finance & Accounting — Build, Scale, and Grow Into the CFO Role
Our client is a rapidly growing organization in the midst of expanding and diversifying its revenue streams. The business has a strong track record of reinvesting in growth and is entering a pivotal stage where finance and accounting leadership will play a direct role in shaping strategy and scalability. This is not a maintenance role, it is a true build-and-scale opportunity for a finance leader who wants to create impact and grow alongside the business. The company is seeking a hands-on, resilient leader to elevate the finance and accounting function from a solid foundation to a strategic driver of performance. This role demands intellectual horsepower, sound judgment, and the ability to perform under pressure. The pace is fast, the problems are complex, and the workload is significant, but the professional reward and career trajectory are exceptional.
You will oversee all aspects of finance and accounting, including close, reporting, budgeting, forecasting, costing, and financial analysis. You will partner closely with operations and leadership to improve margins, drive efficiencies, support new and evolving revenue streams, and build scalable financial processes. This is not a 40-hour-a-week role, it is a demanding, high-accountability position built for someone who is motivated by challenge and accelerated growth.
This position is intentionally designed for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who aspires to step into a CFO role within the next 5 years. The ideal candidate is decisive, direct, and comfortable navigating ambiguity and risk. From day one, you will work closely with the executive leadership team and have meaningful exposure to key stakeholders across the organization. You will be positioned as a trusted partner and thought leader, contributing to both near-term execution and long-term strategic planning. Your voice will matter, and your decisions will have visible impact. For the right individual, this role offers a rare opportunity to take on meaningful responsibility early, help shape a growing business, and progress into a senior executive role with significant long-term upside.
