Job Description

Are you a hands-on finance leader who’s ready to step into a high-impact role at a rapidly growing manufacturing company? This is a confidential opportunity to join a thriving private business that has scaled 3x in the last three years — and it’s just getting started.

We’re hiring a CFO who can lead financial strategy and roll up their sleeves. Someone who knows how to build the ship while steering it.

This is not your typical CFO role.
This is for someone who thrives on building structure in chaos, loves being close to the action, and understands that when a business triples in size in under three years, everything changes — fast.

We’re looking for someone who can bring clarity, control, and insight — while still getting into the numbers and making things happen.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Owning all financial operations — strategy, reporting, budgeting, forecasting

• Creating cost models, profit analysis, and financial visibility at every level

• Guiding the annual business planning and working directly with the CEO and COO

• Transitioning the company from cash to accrual accounting

• Managing systems (NetSuite), reporting, compliance, and external partners

• Building out a lean team — likely you + AP + staff accountant

What You Need to Succeed

• Manufacturing finance background (10+ years)

• Proven track record scaling companies from ~$25M to $50M+ in revenue

• Strong understanding of cost accounting, financial controls, and growth planning

• Expert-level NetSuite skills and knowledge of sales tax platforms (Avalara a plus)

• Executive presence with the ability to communicate across leadership styles

• U.S. Citizenship required

Compensation & Structure

• Base salary: $225K - maybe some flexibility with this

• Performance Bonus: 5–10% quarterly or monthly incentive

• Annual Bonus: Based on strategic execution (e.g., planning, cost structure, hiring)

• Total target comp: Up to ~$300K (monthly/quarterly/annual incentives)

• Comprehensive health benefits, 401(k), PTO

• Relocation support available for the right candidate

Who This Role is Not For

• Candidates expecting a cushy, high-level “Chief” title without daily grind

• Individuals seeking rigid org charts or deep internal teams to delegate to

• Anyone uncomfortable working in a fast-evolving, politically sensitive industry

Who This Role Is For

• A seasoned finance leader who has “been there, done that” and wants less bureaucracy

• Someone ready to dig in, own the numbers, and influence the future of a thriving private company

• A person who values balance – being home for dinner, living near mountains/lakes, and still making serious impact

• A builder. A doer. A steady hand in a fast-moving business.

This is a confidential search. We’ll share full details on the company and team during the interview process — but if you’re ready for something different, something bigger, and something more real, we’d love to connect.
