Kanbrick•Charlotte, NC

About The Position

Kanbrick is seeking its first Finance Manager, a CPA, 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 offers real ownership, genuine breadth across multiple financial disciplines, and the opportunity for long-term career development within a growing investment partnership. The ideal candidate will be autonomous, possess strong technical accounting depth, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-trust environment.

Requirements

Technical accounting depth
Ability to work in a small, fast, high-trust environment without needing someone to hand you a checklist.

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

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.
Track record of doing more than their title suggested, and thriving in it.
