  • CPA designation and Bachelor’s degree in accounting / finance or MBA (Certified Management Accountant or Chartered Financial Analyst are also a plus).
  • Well versed in corporate and personal tax to work effectively with tax advisors representing both corporate and ownership interests.
  • Strong knowledge of all aspects of private company accounting.
  • Proven ability to lead budgeting, forecasting, and strategic financial planning.
  • Expertise in cost accounting, inventory valuation, and margin analysis.
  • Solid background in supply‑chain finance, procurement, and working‑capital optimization.
  • Skilled in risk management, internal controls, and corporate governance, audits.

  • Ability to strategize and solve problems.
  • Ability to cultivate strong relationships with external vendors and internal teams.
  • Ensure compliance with safety and company procedures and actively embody our core values in every interaction and responsibility.
  • What Winning Looks Like (How You Will Be Measured)

  • Achievement of corporate EBITDA targets.
  • Managing expenses as a percent of gross profit.
  • Working‑capital management and investment.
  • Free cash flow generated from operating business.
  • Return on Capital Employed – maintaining the right balance of debt / equity to maximize returns while ensuring corporate flexibility.
