After 20 years of laying the foundations of our business, and becoming the local machining experts, business has taken off. We are a custom machining solutions company, servicing the oil & gas, aerospace, and local markets.
Job Background
We recognize that as the company grows, we want to do it right. We want to create the right management team to help us organize & lead the company. We understand that we need to lean on others with different expertise to our own. We want to nurture our team and create a roadmap for the company and our families.
Currently, DMI doesn't have an internal accountant/controller. Up until now, we've had a staff member do the bookkeeping and an external accountant do the year-end (compilation) & help consult. It's a combination that has served us well to this point. But, with our bookkeeper retiring and the company experiencing growth, we've decided it's the right time to add a full-time CPA to our team, and create a CFO position at the company.
What We are Looking For
Our business is a passion project for us. Its our livelihood, our reputation, and our contribution. We want to find a CFO that wants to join us on this journey & create their own legacy.
We're looking for a CPA who:
is prepared to do routine accounting tasks, but capable of providing us with high-level analysis, advice & support;
can work the detail to lay out the options as we go;
can recognize the non-financial implications of those options to make sure we arrive at balanced solutions where everyone thrives;
is positive, and would be a great colleague that we'll enjoy sharing the journey with;
has experience they feel would add value to the company.
