  • Strategic & Operational Finance :

  • Work directly with the Founder & Executive Chairman on group strategy, M&A activity, and capital planning.
  • Lead financial modeling, due diligence, and integration for acquisitions and new ventures.
  • Manage cash flow forecasting, treasury operations, and working capital to support sustainable expansion.
  • Human Resources & Corporate Oversight :

  • Oversee payroll, benefits, and 401(k) administration in collaboration with external partners and internal HR support.
  • Ensure fiduciary and regulatory compliance for all benefit programs, including ERISA and retirement plan governance.
  • Provide executive oversight of HR policy, compensation structures, and compliance across multiple states.
  • Oversee corporate filings, licenses, and certifications to maintain good standing in all jurisdictions.
  • Coordinate with external counsel on employment, corporate, and commercial legal matters, and manage business insurance programs.
  • Leadership, Communication & Culture :

  • Serve as a trusted financial and business partner to the Founder & Executive Chairman—helping translate strategic vision into actionable, measurable outcomes.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the finance and accounting teams across multiple sites.
  • Communicate effectively across the organization—simplifying complex issues and promoting clarity and confidence.
  • Build relationships based on trust, integrity, and shared accountability with all stakeholders.
  • Foster a culture aligned with 3LED’s entrepreneurial ethos : Bright Minds Make Light Work—smart, collaborative, disciplined, and forward‑looking.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Accountant (CA).
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting and finance, with leadership in a multi‑entity or manufacturing environment.
  • Proven experience in financial consolidation, cost accounting, and internal controls.
  • Strong understanding of payroll, benefits, 401(k), and compliance frameworks.
  • Demonstrated success building scalable systems and processes in a growth‑stage company.

  • 401(k) with employer contribution.
  • Paid vacation and flexible hybrid work options.
  • Long‑term incentive or equity participation opportunities.
  • Why Join 3LED Group

    3LED Group is in a transformational growth phase — scaling from a collection of innovative operating companies into a unified, high‑performance platform. As Group Controller / CFO, you will work directly with the Founder & Executive Chairman to build the systems, structure, and culture that will define the next stage of 3LED’s success. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact opportunity for a detail‑driven financial leader who wants to help shape a fast‑growing, vertically integrated, American manufacturing group into a world‑class enterprise.
