Description

The Director, FP&A is a strategic finance leader who owns the financial planning, forecasting, and analysis function for Staccato 2011, LLC, a premium firearms manufacturer scaling across Florence, TX; Pahrump, NV; and a growing remote sales organization. This individual partners directly with the CAO, executive leadership, and ownership to shape company strategy — translating operational and market data into the financial insight that drives decisions on capital investment, pricing, product-line profitability, and long-range growth across our guns, ammunition, small parts, CPO, and CARE businesses. The ideal candidate is a builder: someone who can operate at the board level while also rolling up their sleeves to strengthen the systems, models, and team that support a fast-growing, multi-site manufacturer.

Requirements

• Own the company’s end-to-end FP&A strategy, including the annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and 3–5 year long-range strategic plan.

• Serve as chief financial advisor to functional and site leaders across Florence and Pahrump, translating operational plans into financial impact and holding business partners accountable to targets.

• Lead capital planning and prioritization for manufacturing capacity, equipment, and facility investments to support production growth.

• Partner with the CAO/CFO on capital structure, banking and lender relationships, covenant compliance, and potential M&A or strategic investment analysis.

• Own multi-entity financial consolidation and reporting across all Staccato locations and business units, ensuring clean intercompany eliminations and consistent reporting standards.

• Direct pricing strategy and product/unit-economics analysis across the guns, ammunition, small parts, CPO, and CARE product lines to protect and expand margin.

• Build and present the monthly and quarterly board-level reporting package, including performance narrative, risks, and strategic recommendations.

• Design and govern the company-wide KPI and OKR framework, ensuring metrics cascade from corporate strategy down to plant and department level.

• Own the FP&A systems and tools roadmap (ERP, planning, and BI platforms), driving automation and scalability as headcount and revenue grow.

• Lead, hire, and develop the FP&A team — including the FP&A Manager and analysts — building a high-performing function that scales with the business.

• Represent Finance in executive leadership meetings and act as a key strategic thought partner to the CAO and broader leadership team.

In addition to general team member expectations, this role explicitly requires the following:

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related field; MBA or CPA strongly preferred.

• 10+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, including 3+ years leading FP&A at a director level or above, with people-leadership experience over managers and analysts.

• Demonstrated success owning FP&A for a manufacturing, industrial, or consumer products company; experience in firearms, defense, or another regulated industry is a strong plus.

• Track record managing financial planning across multiple entities, locations, or business units.

• Experience preparing and presenting directly to a Board of Directors, ownership group, lenders, or investors.

• Advanced financial modeling, forecasting, and capital-planning expertise; strong command of Excel and ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle), with BI tool fluency (Power BI or Tableau) preferred.

• Strong executive presence with the ability to influence C-suite and ownership decisions using data-driven insight.

• Proven ability to build, scale, and lead a finance team through a period of company growth.

• High degree of business acumen, discretion, and sound judgment given exposure to sensitive company and competitive information.
