About The Position

Outpost is building the backbone of freight. We’re reinventing how supply chain infrastructure works in America with carrier agnostic truck terminals. As a vertically integrated real estate, operations, and technology company, we acquire and operate mission-critical real estate across the country to serve the largest logistics providers in the world. Backed by $1B from Greenpoint Partners, we’re scaling and building the most valuable logistics network in the country.
We thrive on accountability, integrity, and a shared drive to raise the bar. If you’re excited to reshape the industry alongside a high-performance team with a championship mindset that executes relentlessly, welcome aboard.
We are looking for a high-caliber Finance Manager to act as the architect and guardian of our cash flow. In this role, you won't just track "what happened", you will define "what must happen." You will own the forward-looking cash-basis budget, ensuring that every entity (Corporate and Individual Property level) has the liquidity required to meet its obligations in a lean, high-efficiency environment. You are the early warning system for budget overages and the strategist behind our investor capital calls.

Requirements

• Experience: 5-8+ years in Corporate Finance, treasury, or accounting.
• Advanced Excel Mastery: Expert-level Excel skills in building multi-entity models using advanced logic and Dynamic Arrays
• Attention to Detail: A "zero-error" mindset regarding bank balances and wire instructions.
• Proactive Mindset: You don't just report that we are low on cash; you anticipate the dip three weeks out and initiate the solution today.
• Communication: Ability to firmly remind internal stakeholders of budget constraints and hold external partners accountable for timely funding.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in real estate or private equity is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Cash-Basis Budgeting & Forecasting (The "North Star")
• Bottom-Up Modeling: Develop and maintain dynamic, forward-looking cash-basis budgets at both the Corporate and Individual Property levels.
• Rolling Forecasts: Maintain a 13-week and 12-month rolling cash forecast that serves as the company’s operational roadmap.
• Property Level Granularity: Ensure each property’s unique operating cycles, debt service, and vendor timelines are reflected in their specific liquidity models.
• Variance Analysis & Budget Policing
• The "Why" Analysis: Perform monthly and quarterly comparisons of Actuals vs. Budget and Current Forecast vs. Prior Forecast.
• Attribution: Clearly explain variances, distinguishing between timing differences (delayed payments) and permanent budget erosions (overspends).
• Early Warning System: Proactively identify when development or operational CAPEX starts to deviate from the plan. Partner with project leads to mitigate risks before they impact the bottom line.
• Liquidity & Capital Management
• Just-In-Time Funding: Monitor bank balances daily to ensure optimal "lean" cash levels. Work closely with AP/AR to coordinate payment timing with fund availability.
• Strategic Capital Calls: Based on your forecasts, calculate and trigger investor capital calls. Ensure funds are requested with enough lead time to meet payment deadlines while maintaining investor trust.
• Intercompany Clearing: Own the intercompany ledger. Manage the physical movement of cash between entities and execute periodic settlements to maintain clean balances.
• Advanced Financial Modeling
• Stress Testing: Build "What-If" scenarios to model the impact of delayed capital, unexpected repairs, or market shifts on our total liquidity runway.
• Dashboarding: Translate complex spreadsheets into high-level dashboards that allow leadership to see the "Cash Health" of the entire portfolio at a glance.
