The role includes oversight of multi-entity accounting operations, financial reporting and close processes, talent development, acquisition integration, and partnership with executive leaders and external stakeholders.

• Experience driving standardization and controls and collaborating effectively with sponsors and lenders.
• Strong leadership and change-management skills, including the ability to implement standardized processes across a growing multi-location platform.

Responsibilities

• Oversee accounting teams across multiple states, standardize processes, and ensure consistent financial reporting across the portfolio.

• Lead and mentor regional controllers and accounting teams, assessing and developing internal talent to build a strong finance leadership bench.
• Lead accounting integration for acquisitions, aligning systems, controls, and processes to support growth and scalability.
• Support CFO-level activities, including lender and sponsor management, cash flow oversight, and strategic financial planning to support growth toward $500 million or more in revenue.
