Director of Finance And Accounting

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.
