Director of Finance & Administration
Salary: $150,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Join the leadership team as a trusted advisor directly to Ownership — not buried in a reporting chain

  • Own a broad, high-visibility scope spanning finance, accounting, HR, payroll, benefits, insurance, and risk management

  • Lead the selection and implementation of a next-generation ERP and CRM platform — a rare chance to shape systems from the ground up

  • Guided onboarding alongside a longtime Controller, ensuring a smooth transition and deep institutional knowledge transfer

  • Build and launch KPI dashboards and reporting tools that directly influence company strategy

  • Extend your impact beyond core operations into affiliated real estate and development entities

  • Play a lead role in compensation planning, organizational development, and succession planning

  • Clear path to expanded scope, with a formal performance and compensation review built in early in your tenure


Key Responsibilities for the Director of Finance & Administration:



  • Lead finance, accounting, HR, payroll, benefits, insurance, and risk management functions

  • Develop monthly financial and operational reporting packages for Ownership and Leadership

  • Build KPI dashboards and sales performance analytics to support compensation and growth initiatives

  • Lead evaluation and implementation of a modern HR/Payroll platform and next-gen ERP/CRM systems

  • Oversee accounting and reporting for affiliated real estate and development entities

  • Manage corporate compliance, tax coordination, and relationships with outside advisors


Qualifications for the Director of Finance & Administration:



  • Proven experience in a senior finance leadership role, ideally within a privately held or family-owned company

  • Track record of building financial reporting, KPI, and business systems infrastructure

  • Experience with ERP/CRM evaluation and implementation

  • Strong discretion and judgment handling confidential financial and ownership information
