Finance & Business Manager - Logistics/Transportation

About Us

We are a multi-entity, fast-paced transportation and logistics company operating across multiple states, supporting time-sensitive delivery networks. We run lean, move fast, and expect our leadership team to operate with ownership and accountability.

We are at a stage of growth where we are building stronger structure, visibility, and discipline across the business — and this role will be a key part of that evolution.

The Role

We are seeking a Finance & Business Manager to serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership overseeing financial performance and operational execution.

This is a hands-on, in-house role designed for someone who can take ownership of the day-to-day financial and operational coordination of the business — allowing leadership to stay focused on strategy and growth.

This is not a passive accounting role. You will be embedded in the operation, working across finance, payroll, reporting, and day-to-day execution to ensure the business runs efficiently and profitably.

If you are someone who can bring structure to a fast-moving environment, connect financials to real-world operations, and take initiative without waiting to be told — this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

• Full-cycle accounting (month-end close, reconciliations, GL oversight)
• QuickBooks management and accuracy of financial data
• Weekly cash flow tracking and forecasting
• Payroll oversight across a multi-state workforce
• AP/AR processes and financial discipline
• Financial reporting for leadership (clear, accurate, actionable)
• Budget vs. actuals and variance analysis
• Coordination with operations to identify inefficiencies and cost leaks
• Supporting compliance, audits, and financial organization

What Success Looks Like

• Financials are accurate and timely
• Month-end close completed within 10 business days or less
• Improved accountability across spending and operations
• Leadership is no longer pulled into day-to-day financial and administrative issues

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves:

• 3+ years of experience in accounting, finance, or business operations
• Strong QuickBooks experience (Online or Enterprise)
• Experience in logistics, transportation, or a high-volume operational environment strongly preferred
• Solid understanding of cash flow management (not just P&L reporting)
• Highly organized with strong follow-through and attention to detail
• Ability to work on-site and cross-functionally with operations

You’ll Stand Out If You:

• Have cleaned up or improved messy financial processes
• Can connect financial data to operational performance
• Are comfortable taking ownership and making decisions
• Can communicate clearly with both leadership and frontline teams
• Naturally step in to solve problems without being asked

What This Role Is NOT

• Not remote
• Not purely strategic — this is a hands-on execution role
• Not limited to accounting — this role touches multiple areas of the business

Growth Opportunity

This role is designed to evolve into a key operational leadership position within the company as we continue to grow.
