VP of Finance

Robert Half • Lakeland, FL • 5h ago

Description

Robert Half is currently recruiting on a confidential basis for a Vice President of Finance to join a privately held, multi-entity organization headquartered in Central Florida. This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to executive leadership and offers the opportunity to have a meaningful impact across accounting operations, financial controls, and enterprise-wide process improvement. Our client is seeking a hands-on finance executive who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a practical, business-oriented mindset. The ideal candidate will bring experience overseeing multiple legal entities, managing teams, and partnering closely with operations, sales, and executive leadership to support growth and operational excellence.

This position provides overall leadership for accounting and financial operations across several related privately held companies. The VP of Finance will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting, maintaining compliance with GAAP, and strengthening internal controls. In addition, this leader will oversee daily cash management activities, including banking relationships and line-of-credit compliance, while driving timely month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.

Beyond core accounting, this role plays a critical part in improving systems, processes, and reporting infrastructure. The VP of Finance will serve as a key advisor during ERP optimization initiatives, support acquisition-related accounting activities, and act as the primary liaison with external auditors and lenders.

This role offers a blend of strategic influence and operational ownership. The successful candidate will join a stable, privately held organization with an established leadership team, clear expectations, and the ability to shape finance operations as the business continues to evolve. It's an excellent opportunity for a senior finance professional who enjoys being close to the business and leading through partnership, accountability, and trust.

If you are interested in this opportunity and meet the qualifications, please apply and call Brian Upshaw at 813-259-7602, referencing job number 01070-0013366632.
