Position Summary

The Director of Finance is a key leadership position responsible for overseeing all aspects of the company’s accounting and financial operations. This role provides strategic direction and hands-on leadership for core accounting functions—including general ledger, accounts payable / receivable, cash management, consolidations, and financial reporting. The Director of Finance ensures the accuracy and integrity of financial data, supports compliance and audit activities, and contributes to the development of financial policies and procedures.

  • Financial Planning & Strategic Support

  • Provide financial insights and recommendations to senior leadership to support business strategy and performance improvement.
  • Contribute to ad hoc financial analysis, capital planning, and investment evaluation.

  • Strong understanding of GAAP and internal controls.
  • Proven experience leading accounting operations in a multi-entity or manufacturing environment preferred.
