In this role you'll

• Lead accounting and finance across a growing, multi-state organization

• Strengthen reporting, forecasting, and cash flow visibility

• Partner with operations and sales to improve profitability and decision-making

• Develop and lead a high-performing finance team

• Lead the transition from our current ERP platform to a new enterprise system, guiding the organization through a critical transformation

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field required; CPA strongly preferred

• 10- 15 years of progressive finance leadership experience in manufacturing, printing, packaging, distribution, logistics, or similarly complex environments

• Strong experience in operational finance, cost accounting, cash flow management, and business analytics

• Demonstrated success leading growth, transformation, ERP implementations, and process improvement initiatives

• Experience operating within multi-entity, multi-state organizations and partnering across functions to drive business performance

• A hands-on leadership style with the ability to balance strategic thinking with operational execution

Location & Compensation

Southern California based, with periodic travel to our California, Texas, and Colorado.

The anticipated base salary range for this position is $210,000–$250,000 annually. Actual compensation will depend on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
