About The Position

CardioQuip is seeking a hands-on Director of Finance & Accounting to own accounting operations, monthly close, financial reporting, NetSuite accounting workflows, inventory/COGS, cost accounting, budgeting and forecasting, and practical internal controls for a growing medical device manufacturer in College Station, Texas. This is a high-impact, controller-focused leadership role for someone who likes rolling up their sleeves, bringing order to complexity, developing people, improving systems, and helping a growing company make better financial and operating decisions. CardioQuip designs and manufactures cardiovascular medical devices that support perfusionists and clinical teams in hospitals across the U.S. and internationally. Our products support clinicians during critical procedures, and our work matters because patients, hospitals, and clinical teams are counting on us. CardioQuip is a growing 60+ person company based in College Station, Texas, with a culture built on trust, ownership, practical problem-solving, follow-through, and genuine care for people.

The opportunity now is to help mature the finance function for the company’s next stage of growth. The Director of Finance & Accounting will report to the President and serve as the senior day-to-day finance and accounting leader, partnering closely with the accounting team, operations leaders, external tax advisors, NetSuite support, lenders, and outside advisors. You will not be starting from scratch, and you will not be building alone. You will own the day-to-day accounting operating rhythm while helping Finance become a more proactive partner to the business.
