Job description

Finatal is partnering with a fast-growing, sponsor-backed asset rental business to appoint a VP Finance as its first dedicated senior finance executive.

The company operates a highly profitable, capital-intensive rental model, acquiring specialized assets and renting them to a diversified base of high-quality commercial customers. The business has scaled rapidly since launch, generating significant recurring cash flow with demand continuing to outpace the availability of new assets.

With substantial investment planned over the coming years, the business is entering its next phase of growth. The focus will be on significantly expanding the asset base while building the financial infrastructure, reporting and analytical capabilities required to support a much larger and increasingly complex organization.

Working closely with ownership and the leadership team, the VP Finance will take ownership of the day-to-day finance function. This is a highly hands-on role spanning FP&A, accounting oversight, lender management, systems, reporting and the financial analysis of the company's asset base.

A major focus will be developing the financial and operational insight required to optimize asset utilization, pricing, returns and capital deployment. The VP Finance will partner closely with commercial and operational leadership to understand unit economics and ensure capital is deployed into the highest-return opportunities.

The role will also play a central part in developing the company's finance infrastructure as it scales, including upgrading systems, building KPI and BI reporting, strengthening controls and determining how the broader finance organization should be structured over time.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own the finance function and act as a strategic partner to ownership and the senior leadership team
• Build FP&A capabilities across budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, scenario analysis and performance management
• Develop detailed financial analysis around asset utilization, pricing, returns, depreciation and capital deployment
• Build KPI dashboards and reporting that provide greater visibility into financial and operational performance
• Own cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning and capital expenditure tracking
• Manage existing lender relationships, including borrowing base reporting, covenant compliance and ongoing credit facility requirements
• Oversee accounting and controllership, including monthly close, financial reporting, controls and the annual audit
• Manage and develop the relationship with the company's outsourced accounting provider and determine how the function should evolve as the business scales
• Lead the continued development of finance systems and infrastructure, including future ERP and BI implementation
• Partner with commercial and operational leadership to evaluate opportunities and support data-driven decision-making
• Help build the broader finance organization as the scale and complexity of the business increase

Candidate profile

• 8+ years of progressive finance experience with the ambition and capability to grow into a CFO role
• Experience within asset rental, equipment leasing, fleet, transportation or another capital-intensive business model is strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of asset and unit economics, including utilization, pricing, returns, depreciation and capital allocation
• Strong FP&A and financial modeling capabilities, including budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis and cash flow management
• Strong accounting foundation with experience overseeing reporting, close, controls and audit
• Experience managing bank relationships, credit facilities, borrowing bases and covenant compliance
• Comfortable leading systems and process improvements within a growing organization
• Commercially minded with the ability to translate financial and operational data into actionable business insight
• Hands-on, entrepreneurial profile comfortable operating within a lean and fast-growing environment
• Sponsor-backed or family office-backed experience is advantageous but not essential

This is an opportunity to build and lead the finance function within a highly profitable, rapidly scaling asset rental business, with significant exposure to ownership and a clear path to the CFO position as the company grows.
