A high growth national distribution organization with more than 600M in annual revenue is entering its next chapter of operational alignment and strategic expansion. Following a successful consolidation of multiple business entities into a unified structure, the company is seeking a forward-thinking Chief Financial Officer to help shape the long‑term financial strategy, strengthen performance visibility, and serve as a true enterprise partner to executive leadership.

This is not a maintenance CFO role. This is an opportunity to architect the future finance function of a complex, multi‑location distribution platform with significant runway ahead. The organization operates across more than 20 sites nationwide and is backed by an established global parent company, offering both stability and long‑term investment support. The incoming CFO will play a central role in driving profitable growth, enhancing systems and reporting, and elevating financial leadership across the enterprise.

• Provide data driven insight to executive leadership to guide investment decisions, pricing strategy, and expansion initiatives
• Drive accountability for EBIT, operating income, and revenue performance across business units

• Lead company wide financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes
• Establish and refine KPIs that improve transparency and operational discipline

• Partner cross functionally to integrate systems, including a dual ERP environment

• Oversee audit processes and ensure adherence to regulatory and reporting standards
• Proactively assess and mitigate financial and operational risk

• Lead and develop a high performing finance and accounting team in a right sized, efficiency focused structure
• Serve as a strategic partner to the executive team, influencing decisions beyond finance
• Provide executive oversight and collaboration with support functions as needed

• Experience serving as a VP Finance, Divisional CFO, or enterprise finance leader within a 600M plus revenue environment
• Strong background in distribution, supply chain, or multi‑site operational business models preferred
• Demonstrated success navigating integrations, consolidations, or restructuring initiatives
• Strategic business mindset with the ability to translate financial data into operational action
• Experience managing ERP complexity and enhancing reporting capabilities
• Proven ability to lead through change while building long term organizational stability
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, or related field required, advanced degree or professional certification welcomed but not mandatory
• Willingness to travel periodically to support geographically distributed operations

This is a rare opportunity to step into a true enterprise CFO seat with meaningful influence and a long‑term growth horizon. The organization values steady, strategic leadership over short term quarterly optics. If you are a senior finance leader ready to shape the next decade of performance for a national platform, this role offers both challenge and impact.
