Hands-On Execution
  • Support accounting operations: GL, AR/AP, payroll, and reporting oversight
  • Partner with operational leaders to optimize margins and working capital
  • Directly handle financial projects until the team is built and scaled
Infrastructure & Team Building

  • Build and lead a finance team aligned with growth goals

What You Bring:

  • Strong technical accounting and treasury capabilities
  • Experience with multi-entity reporting, ideally in aerospace, manufacturing, or industrial sectors
  • Bachelor’s in Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred
