Job Description

CFO

Edison, NJ

300K

 

About the Company:

A fast-scaling, multi-division operating group with diverse holdings and a strong commitment to financial discipline, growth, and sustainable infrastructure. The company is active across several industries and uses targeted acquisitions to complement and accelerate its operational success. With a track record of bold execution and strategic expansion, the organization now seeks a CFO who can bring structure, leadership, and high-level financial insight to unify and elevate all finance functions.

Position Overview:

This is a critical leadership role for a hands-on, process-driven, and high-integrity CFO to take ownership of the finance department and support the CEO in executing on aggressive growth goals. This role is not about sitting on top—it’s about understanding how everything works, restructuring broken workflows , leading from the front , and bringing accountability across the finance team. You must be someone who can both command respect and produce results , especially in a culture that moves fast and expects precision.

Key Responsibilities:

Financial Leadership
  • Overhaul existing finance workflows, replacing band-aid solutions with scalable infrastructure.

  • Lead, structure, and mentor the current finance team — including making staffing decisions and shifting responsibilities as needed.

  • Own all core finance operations: forecasting, reporting, budgeting, audits, shared costs, and vendor/investor updates.

Team Oversight & Accountability
  • Establish and enforce clear expectations and deliverables across the finance team.

  • Drive the month-end close process and reporting deadlines.

  • Interview, hire, and onboard new finance hires (bookkeepers, accountants, analysts).

Strategic Execution
  • Work cross-functionally with operations, tech, and executive leadership to ensure that financial data drives decision-making.

  • Help evaluate the financials of acquired companies and assist in integration—but keep the focus on internal operational clarity.

Technology & Systems
  • Oversee the financial tech stack—identify and implement the right accounting and data systems to support scale.

  • Ensure that tech solutions integrate across departments and reflect reality on the ground.

Budgeting & Cost Control
  • Oversee company-wide budgets, cost controls, and financial models.

  • Analyze shared costs and department-level spend to create clarity and accountability.

  • Partner with the CEO and division heads to create clean, actionable projections.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Proven experience as a Controller, VP Finance, or CFO in a dynamic, fast-growing business.

  • Strong operational instincts — understands how numbers connect to day-to-day processes.

  • Not afraid to get into the details ; capable of interviewing staff, understanding line items, and asking “why” until things are clear.

  • Has managed and restructured finance teams in the past, not just inherited them.

  • Capable of influencing senior leadership, especially when tough decisions need to be made.

  • Experience with M&A, integrations, or multi-entity accounting is a plus.

  • Tech-forward mindset, able to guide selection and implementation of scalable software and systems.

  • Comfortable navigating dynamic priorities and ambiguous situations.
