Finance Director

Senior Director of Finance

Strategic Financial Leader | Growth Architect | Executive Business Partner

Our client is seeking an accomplished financial executive who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operational excellence, and transformational leadership. This is far more than a traditional finance role—it’s an opportunity to influence enterprise-wide decision-making, shape long-term growth strategy, and serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership.

The ideal candidate is equal parts strategist, operator, and coach—someone who can see the big picture while maintaining rigorous control over financial performance, reporting integrity, and business optimization.

If you are a high-impact finance leader who enjoys building scalable processes, developing teams, and driving measurable business outcomes in a fast-paced, multi-location environment, this could be your next defining opportunity.

Enterprise Financial Strategy & Executive Leadership

• Partner with executive leadership to shape financial strategy aligned with organizational growth objectives.
• Translate business goals into actionable financial roadmaps, forecasts, and long-range planning initiatives.
• Serve as a key strategic voice in investment decisions, business expansion, capital allocation, and performance optimization.
• Deliver clear, data-driven insights that influence executive decision-making at the highest levels.
• Build, mentor, and elevate a high-performing finance organization centered around accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Accounting, Controls & Financial Governance

• Oversee accounting operations with an unwavering commitment to accuracy, compliance, and financial integrity.
• Ensure timely preparation of financial statements, reporting packages, and regulatory documentation.
• Lead audit readiness, internal and external audit coordination, and financial documentation management.
• Strengthen internal controls, risk mitigation frameworks, and governance practices that protect organizational assets.
• Partner with external advisors on tax planning, reporting, and compliance initiatives.

Cash Flow, Revenue Optimization & Capital Management

• Direct cash management strategy, liquidity forecasting, and working capital optimization.
• Oversee revenue recognition practices, billing workflows, and financial policies that support sustainable growth.
• Manage capital planning and financial oversight for strategic investment initiatives.
• Identify cost containment opportunities while preserving business momentum and operational effectiveness.
• Drive profitability improvements through disciplined financial analysis and operational partnership.

Systems, Analytics & Process Transformation

• Champion modern financial systems, reporting automation, and process efficiencies.
• Leverage ERP platforms and business intelligence tools to improve visibility, accuracy, and decision support.
• Build scalable reporting infrastructure that enables real-time financial insight.
• Lead financial systems upgrades, workflow enhancements, and transformation initiatives that position the organization for growth.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Credentials

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related discipline required.
• MBA, CPA, or other advanced financial credentials strongly preferred.
• 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in finance, accounting, FP&A, or corporate financial management.
• Demonstrated success leading finance in complex, fast-moving, multi-site organizations.
• Proven ability to partner cross-functionally with executive leadership, operations, legal, HR, and commercial teams.

Leadership Profile

The successful candidate will bring:

• Strategic business acumen with strong executive presence
• Advanced financial modeling and analytical capabilities
• Deep knowledge of financial reporting standards and compliance best practices
• Strong audit, controls, and governance experience
