Job description

Confidential Opportunity | Growing Manufacturing Company

Ready to Take Your Finance Career to the Next Level?

Are you an accomplished Controller or finance leader ready for greater responsibility, executive-level influence, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing company?

A well-established, privately held, private equity-sponsored manufacturer of construction products is seeking a hands-on, strategic Vice President of Finance / Controller to lead its financial operations and play a key role in its next phase of growth.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious finance professional who wants to move beyond traditional accounting responsibilities and become a trusted business partner to executive leadership.

If you're ready for a position where your ideas, leadership, and financial expertise can make a real difference, this could be your next career move.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a traditional finance leadership position. It's an opportunity to help build, improve, and influence a growing business.

• Executive-Level Visibility: Work directly with the CEO and provide meaningful financial insights to senior leadership and the Board.
• Career Growth: Ideal for an experienced Controller or Finance Manager ready to expand into a broader executive leadership role.
• Make a Real Impact: Take ownership of the finance function and help strengthen the financial systems, processes, and strategies that support company growth.
• Strategic Influence: Play an important role in financial planning, business decisions, operational improvements, and long-term strategy.
• Leadership Opportunity: Build, mentor, and develop a strong finance team while creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Growth-Focused Environment: Join an established manufacturing business with private equity support and opportunities for continued operational expansion.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As Vice President of Finance / Controller, you will oversee all aspects of the company's financial operations while serving as a key strategic partner to the CEO.

Key responsibilities include:

• Experience with financial reporting, accounting operations, budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning.
• Prepare and analyze financial statements, operating results, cash flow, and key performance indicators.
• Provide financial insights and recommendations that improve profitability and support strategic decisions.
• Manage cash flow, working capital, and lender reporting requirements.
• Ensure accurate financial reporting, strong internal controls, and compliance with GAAP.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial systems, reporting processes, and operational efficiency.
• Partner with executive leadership on business planning, capital investments, and growth initiatives.
• Lead and develop the finance and accounting team.
• Support ERP enhancements and technology improvements that strengthen financial management.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a motivated, business-minded finance leader who is equally comfortable managing the details and contributing to the bigger picture.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including leadership responsibilities.
• Strong experience with financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash management.
• Thorough knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and accounting operations.
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, improve processes, and manage competing priorities.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• A hands-on leadership approach combined with sound business judgment.
• Ability to work on-site at the company's North Carolina headquarters.

Preferred Qualifications:

• CPA designation or public accounting experience.
• Experience in a private equity-backed business.
• Manufacturing, building products, or construction-related industry experience.
• Experience with ERP systems, implementations, or process improvements.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A highly visible leadership role with direct access to executive decision-makers.
• The opportunity to influence company strategy and financial performance.
• Meaningful career growth and professional development opportunities.
• The ability to build and improve financial processes and systems.
• A collaborative, growth-oriented manufacturing environment.

This position is based in the Rocky Mount, NC area and requires an on-site presence. Limited hybrid flexibility may be available following onboarding.

• The employer is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to legally protected characteristics.
