Budgeting & Financial Analysis

  • Support the VP Finance with annual budgeting and forecasting.
  • Provide variance analysis, trend insights, and recommendations to business leadership.
  • Translate accounting accuracy into operational visibility for multiple platform leaders.

NetSuite Systems Ownership

  • Lead NetSuite configuration improvements, reporting enhancements, workflows, and controls.
  • Partner with internal teams and external consultants to optimize NetSuite usage.
  • Ensure data accuracy, enforce discipline in system usage, and maintain clean audit trails.

M&A Support and Franchise Financial Evaluation

  • Conduct financial due diligence for potential franchise acquisitions.
  • Analyze historical financials, assess quality of earnings considerations, and identify risks.
  • Build and review financial models and pro forma projections.
  • Establish and maintain controls ensuring data integrity throughout the M&A lifecycle.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with platform leadership teams to support decision‑making with accurate financial insights.
  • Liaise with tax advisors, auditors, legal, and ownership groups.
  • Provide finance support for other brands or projects as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance required; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 5–12 years of progressive accounting experience, including multi‑entity or consolidation experience.
  • Required: Advanced proficiency with NetSuite (administration, workflows, reporting).
  • Extensive hands‑on experience managing month‑end close and preparing GAAP financial statements.
