Chief Financial Officer

Lewisville

Overview

Moonshot is seeking a Chief Financial Officer to serve as the financial and strategic leader of a high-growth electrical distribution and critical power infrastructure company. This is not a back-office accounting role — Moonshot has a strong Controller who owns GAAP, compliance, and day-to-day accounting operations.

The CFO will set the financial vision, own enterprise capital strategy, and operate as a key partner to the CEO and COO in building a durable, scalable business. You will shape how Moonshot allocates capital, lead long-range financial planning, and ensure the company has the cash discipline, visibility, and governance required to execute with confidence. You will represent Moonshot to banks, capital providers, and key external stakeholders while building a finance function that operates as an independent, high-performing engine.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Lead, Manage, and Hold Accountable
  • Own the performance, professional development, and strategic alignment of all finance and accounting team members to company objectives.
  • Set clear expectations, drive a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, and build succession depth within the finance organization.
  1. Strategic Financial Partnership
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO, COO, and executive leadership team — translating financial insight and business intelligence into strategic recommendations that shape company direction.
  • Partner on major decisions including market expansion, product and service mix, large-scale infrastructure investments, and pricing strategy.
  1. Financial Visibility and Accountability
  • Own finance-related Measurables on the company Scorecard and provide accurate, timely financial visibility to the leadership team.
  • Ensure leadership has clear, actionable reporting on revenue, margin, cash, working capital, and capital projects — enabling fast, confident decision-making.
  1. Budget Ownership, Forecasting, and Planning
  • Own the annual budgeting process, long-range financial plan, and rolling forecasts across all business lines.
  • Ensure financial resources are allocated to support company priorities and that performance vs. plan is tracked and addressed with rigor.
  1. Cash Flow, Treasury, and Working Capital Management
  • Oversee strategic management of receivables, payables, inventory financing, and working capital to maintain the liquidity required to fund operations and growth.
  • Implement disciplined cash management routines, scenario planning, and early-warning indicators for cash risk.
  1. Capital Structure and Investment Strategy
  • Design and own Moonshot's capital structure strategy — debt, equity, leases, and other instruments — in partnership with the CEO and COO.
  • Lead financial modeling and ROI analysis for major infrastructure investments, build-versus-buy decisions, and strategic initiatives.
  1. Banking, Lenders, and Capital Providers
  • Own relationships with banking partners, lenders, and other capital providers — including negotiation of credit facilities, covenants, and financing structures.
  • Proactively manage liquidity, covenant compliance, and availability of capital to support the company's growth trajectory.
  1. Owner and Stakeholder Financial Leadership
  • Serve as the primary financial advisor to the CEO, COO, and company owners — delivering clear visibility into performance, cash, risk, and long-range value creation.
  • Lead ownership reporting and financial narratives, represent Moonshot in high-stakes discussions with banks and capital providers, and help build the governance rhythms needed to support future outside capital or an advisory board.
  1. Corporate Development and Strategic Transactions
  • Evaluate and lead potential M&A, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships aligned with Moonshot's growth thesis.
  • Own financial due diligence, valuation, deal structuring support, and post-close financial integration.
  1. Financial Reporting, Controls, and Compliance
  • Ensure accurate, timely financial reporting that supports decision-making and meets all regulatory, tax, and compliance requirements.
  • Partner with the Controller to maintain strong internal controls, auditor relationships, and a clean audit posture.
  1. Pricing, Margin, and Business Analytics
  • Ensure pricing models across all business lines are anchored in validated cost data and margin targets — supporting disciplined, profitable growth.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and KPI frameworks that provide real-time visibility into margin, project performance, and business unit profitability.
  1. Risk Management and Insurance
  • Own the company's financial risk profile — including contractual risk, liability exposure, insurance programs, and risk mitigation strategies across all entities.
  • Establish governance around major commitments, capex approvals, and counterparties.
  1. Finance Function Excellence
  • Build and maintain a finance function that operates with independence and precision — delivering reliable data and insight to the business.
  • Drive continuous improvement in tools, systems, and processes to support scale.

Success in the First 18 Months

  • Financial reporting and visibility are rock-solid. Moonshot runs on a consistent monthly reporting package, weekly cash view, and tightly managed Scorecard Measurables, with no surprises on revenue, margin, or cash.
  • Cash, AP/AR, and working capital are under control. AR, AP, and inventory processes are cleaned up and standardized, DSO and DPO are managed deliberately, and the business has reliable cash forecasts that leadership trusts to make decisions.
  • Finance function is performing as a high-accountability team. The CFO has clarified roles, upleveled talent where needed, and established process discipline so accounting and finance deliver accurate, on-time outputs without constant escalation.
  • Banks and capital providers trust Moonshot. Banking and lender relationships are professional and proactive, covenants are well managed, and the company is viewed as a disciplined, credible counterparty.
  • The ELT is thinking in numbers. The CFO has raised the financial IQ of the leadership team — leaders own their Measurables, understand how their decisions hit cash and margin, and use finance as a partner to plan and prioritize.

Qualifications

Experience

  • 10+ years of progressive finance leadership, with at least 3–5 years as CFO, VP Finance, or equivalent in a growth-stage or mid-market company.
  • Demonstrated ownership of enterprise-level capital strategy, banking/lender relationships, and owner-level financial communication.
  • Experience building and leading high-performing finance teams and partnering closely with executive leadership on critical business decisions.
  • Background in manufacturing, distribution, construction, critical infrastructure, or similar capital-intensive / project-driven environments is a plus.
  • Experience in leveraged, PE-backed, or bank-dependent growth environments strongly preferred.

Skills

  • Deep financial acumen beyond technical accounting — ability to connect financial performance to operational drivers and advise leadership with clarity and conviction.
  • Proven ability to build budgets, deliver accurate forecasts, and lead scenario planning and sensitivity analysis for strategic decisions.
  • Strong track record negotiating with banks and capital providers; experience executing debt financings and/or M&A transactions.
  • Proficiency with financial systems, reporting platforms, and analytical tools — with sound judgment on what to delegate vs. own personally.
  • A natural leader who develops talent, sets clear expectations, and is comfortable holding others to exacting standards.
  • EOS/Traction experience is a strong plus — including working knowledge of Scorecards, Measurables, Rocks, and L10 meetings.

Education & Certifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related discipline required.
  • CPA and/or MBA preferred.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
