We're a profitable manufacturer in the North Dallas area. We're the size of company where the CFO knows every manager by name, walks the production floor, and sees the direct line between their decisions and the company's results. Revenue has grown steadily, the balance sheet is clean, and the order book is strong.
Why join us?You'll be a true operating CFO. You'll own the financials end to end, sit at the table for every major decision, and partner directly with a CEO who is building for the next decade, not managing decline. If you've been a strong number two waiting for the top seat, or a CFO at a private company who wants public company experience on your resume, this is the rare opening that offers both the responsibility and the runway to succeed in it.
