Job Description & How to Apply Below
A rapidly growing distribution company is seeking a hands-on, operational Controller/CFO to serve as the right hand to ownership/investment partners and C-Sute and lead the finance function through its next phase of growth.
This is not a “big corporate” CFO role.
This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, high-impact leadership opportunity inside a scaling, entrepreneurial business.
We’re looking for a finance leader who can operate at both the strategic and spreadsheet level — someone who sees the big picture but is just as comfortable building models, reconciling numbers, and driving accountability.
What You’ll Own
- Lead all aspects of financial strategy, planning, and analysis
- Oversee full-cycle accounting, cash management, forecasting, and financial reporting
- Serve as the right hand to ownership, supporting key business decisions with clear financial insight
- Build and maintain detailed financial models to drive pricing, margin analysis, and operational performance
- Implement scalable systems, processes, and internal controls
- Partner closely with operations to improve profitability, efficiency, and reporting accuracy
- Support growth initiatives including new customers, expanded services, and potential acquisitions
What We’re Looking For
- 10+ years of progressive finance experience (Controller, VP Finance, or CFO level)
- Strong command of Excel and financial modeling (must be hands-on)
- Experience in fulfillment, distribution, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, or operationally complex businesses
- Proven ability to operate in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment
- Experience working directly with ownership or founder-led companies
- High energy, self-directed, and comfortable building structure where it doesn’t yet exist
- Strategic thinker who is also execution-focused
Why This Role Is Compelling
- Direct impact on company strategy and growth
- Seat at the leadership table
- Opportunity to build and scale a finance function
- Visibility into operations, customers, and expansion initiatives
- Entrepreneurial environment with real autonomy
