This is a high-impact finance leadership opportunity with a growing, acquisitive restaurant investment and operating platform. We're looking for someone who enjoys a broad scope of responsibilities across external audits, accounting oversight, FP&A, and finance operations, with direct visibility to ownership and senior leadership. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of a wide range of finance responsibilities while leading two excellent, high-performing FP&A professionals who are already strong in their day-to-day responsibilities. The emphasis is on leadership, mentorship, and professional development rather than managing their daily workload.
What this role will own:
Lead multiple annual financial statement audits across operating entities, managing external auditor relationships, audit preparation, and coordination of supporting resources
Provide accounting and financial reporting oversight across the portfolio, working with internal and external accounting resources to ensure accuracy, consistency, and accountability
Lead and mentor two high-performing FP&A analysts, providing guidance, professional development, and support as they continue advancing their careers
Oversee budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and management reporting, while partnering with leadership on business performance and financial decisions
Work directly with senior leadership and restaurant operators on a broad range of finance, accounting, and operational matters, including support for acquisitions and new business integrations
Help improve financial processes, audit readiness, and reporting infrastructure as the organization continues to grow
Take ownership of special projects and ad hoc business needs beyond traditional accounting and finance responsibilities
Ideal background:
Progressive experience across accounting, audit, controllership, or finance leadership
Strong accounting foundation, particularly experience managing external audits and working with auditors across multiple entities
Experience working across multiple businesses or within operationally complex, transaction-heavy environments
Demonstrated leadership skills, with an interest in coaching, mentoring, and developing talented finance professionals
CPA or public accounting background preferred, but not required
Exposure to FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis is beneficial, although accounting experience is the greater priority
Restaurant, hospitality, franchise, or multi-unit experience is a plus, but not required
This is an excellent opportunity for a finance and accounting leader who wants more variety, meaningful ownership, excellent direct reports, and direct exposure to senior leadership within a growing business. Ideal for someone who enjoys working across different areas of finance rather than being limited to one specialized function.
