About The Position

Kanbrick is seeking its first Finance Manager, a CPA ready to take ownership of the firm's full financial infrastructure. Reporting to the VP Finance, this role will support Kanbrick's accounting, compliance, investor relations, and tax functions, while also advancing firm administrative and operational priorities. The position involves owning month-end and year-end close, financial statements, and internal reporting, ensuring the books are clean and audit-ready. It also includes supporting SEC compliance obligations, administering regulatory filings, and coordinating federal and state tax filings. The Finance Manager will support investor relationships with timely financial reporting and manage external audit processes. This role offers significant ownership and the opportunity to shape Kanbrick's financial infrastructure for the long term, providing breadth across accounting, tax, compliance, investor relations, and audit management. The ideal candidate will have a CPA, strong technical accounting depth, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-trust environment.

Requirements

• CPA credentials
• Technical accounting depth
• Ability to work in a small, fast, high-trust environment without needing someone to hand you a checklist.
• Track record of doing more than your title suggested, and thriving in it.
• Takes initiative before being asked — identifies what needs to be done and does it
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and evolving structure
• High standards for accuracy and process — does not cut corners on the things that matter
• Communicates clearly with non-finance stakeholders — can translate complexity without condescension
• Builds trust through judgment, not just credentials
• Genuinely curious about the businesses Kanbrick operates alongside, not just the numbers they produce

Nice To Haves

• Background in Big 4 public accounting (audit or advisory) followed by a move into a smaller or founder-led business where the scope expanded quickly.
• Experience doing more than your title implied, building processes rather than inheriting them, and figuring things out without a deep bench around you.
• CPA who came up through a regional firm and made an early move into a controller or senior accounting role at a smaller company — picking up breadth in tax, compliance, or investor-facing work along the way.

Responsibilities

• Own month-end and year-end close, financial statements, and internal reporting.
• Ensure books are clean, current, and audit-ready at all times.
• Support SEC compliance obligations, administer regulatory filings, and keep the firm current on its compliance calendar.
• Coordinate federal and state tax filings across the firm and its structures, working with outside advisors and owning internal preparation.
• Support investor relationships with accurate, timely financial reporting.
• Manage external audit processes end-to-end.
• Educate internal team members on financial matters as the firm grows.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the success of a growing investment partnership.
• Exposure to challenging and rewarding work.
• A collaborative, high-performing team culture.
• Room to develop and grow professionally.
