Chief Financial Officer

About Us

Our companies are rapidly growing and concentrate in the manufactured housing industry. Our primary businesses are Manufactured Home Retail and Manufactured Home Park Acquisitions & Operations. We've successfully grown 2-5x per year for the last five years and are on track to maintain the same growth trajectory. It’s simple – we raise money, we buy parks, we sell houses. Our portfolio consists of 30 manufactured home communities, we’re adding three more before year end, and have three on deck for Q1 2027.

The Leadership Team

Jake, Dale, Jeff – The Partners. Jake runs the day to day. Jeff focuses on compliance and finance. Dale raises the money.

Nick – CTO. When Microsoft rolled out Azure, Nick broke it. Microsoft called him to fix it. Nick builds.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a contract CFO to handle the duties required of a private equity company with a first-of-its-kind comp package. You will be allocated $300,000 to complete the accounting and finance requirements of our companies. Whether you get it done with just you, or an army, the allocation to the department doesn’t change; your incentive is leverage AI to automate workflows, reporting, reconciliations, data aggregation, and more. You and our CTO should be best friends. If you're not coming in to be an equity player in 2028, then this isn't for you.

What You'll Actually Do

We're not going to give you a generic list of CFO duties. Here's what the role actually looks like, based on the real financial operations of our business:

Fund & Investor Operations

· Capital Calls & Distributions — Coordinate and execute capital calls across multiple funds (we recently processed a Fund III Capital Call #3 involving dozens of investor communications, wire tracking, and allocation calculations)

· Preferred Return Tracking — Calculate and verify preferred return accruals and payments across fund entities (monthly accruals, quarterly/annual payments)

· Investor Reporting — Oversee quarterly and annual investor reporting through our fund administrator (currently HC Global Fund Services)

· K-1 Coordination — Manage the annual K-1 preparation and distribution process across all fund entities, coordinating with our audit firm and tax professionals

· Fund Administrator Oversight — Direct the relationship with external fund administrators, review their work product, and ensure accuracy of NAV calculations and investor statements

Multi-Entity Financial Management

· Consolidated & Entity-Level Reporting — Produce accurate financial statements (income statements, balance sheets, cash flow) on both cash and accrual basis across all entities

· Monthly Close Process — Oversee month-end close with our outsourced bookkeeping team, review journal entries, and ensure completeness across all entities

· Owner & Partner Reporting — Deliver monthly owner reports for each property/entity to partners and stakeholders (our outgoing CFO produced these for 20+ active entities)

· Intercompany Transactions — Manage and reconcile intercompany transfers, management fee allocations, and cost sharing across entities

Outsourced Partner & Vendor Management

· Fund Administrator — External fund admin handles investor accounting, capital account maintenance, and compliance reporting. You're their primary point of contact and reviewer.

· Payroll Processor — Third-party payroll company runs payroll; you approve payroll inputs

· Audit & Tax Firms — Coordinate annual audits and tax filings across all entities. Our current operation involves a national audit firm for fund audits and separate tax professionals for entity-level returns.

· AI Agents — Yes, really. You will direct AI systems that pull financial data from Rent Manager, monitor bank transaction alerts, generate reports, and handle routine email communications. Your job is to review, verify, and direct — not to fight the technology.

Banking & Cash Management

· Oversee cash flow across multiple banking relationships (currently First Citizens Bank and Five Star Bank)

· Manage entity-level bank accounts, authorize ACH payments, and monitor transaction alerts

· Ensure sufficient liquidity for operations, construction draws, park acquisitions, and investor distributions

· Coordinate new entity bank account setup as we acquire properties

Tax & Compliance

· Ensure compliance with all federal and state tax obligations across 30+ entities

· Coordinate with external tax professionals on entity-level returns, fund-level returns, and investor K-1s

· Manage 1099 preparation and filing for vendors and contractors

· Oversee regulatory compliance specific to manufactured housing retail, construction, and real estate fund operations

Accounts Payable & Invoice Management

· Approve invoices and payment requests routed by the accounting team and AI systems

· Oversee vendor payment processing and expense categorization across entities

· Manage construction draw processes and project-level cost tracking

Strategic Financial Leadership

· Financial modeling for new park acquisitions (we actively acquire manufactured home communities)

· Budgeting and forecasting across all business lines — retail, parks, construction, and development

· Identify areas for cost reduction, revenue optimization, and operational efficiency

· Support capital raising efforts with financial projections, investor presentations, and due diligence packages

· Advise ownership on strategic decisions related to growth, financing, and entity structuring

What Makes This Role Different

We'll be direct about what separates this from every other CFO posting you'll see:

· You'll drive the AI. Your job isn’t numbers and spreadsheets. Your job is to QC the AI output and make decisions from the data.

· You'll build infrastructure for scale. We're growing aggressively. The financial systems and processes you design need to work at 3x our current size. If you've only ever maintained existing systems, this isn't the right fit.

· Direct access to ownership. Small leadership team. No corporate bureaucracy. Your analysis and recommendations directly shape company strategy. If you want a seat at the table, you'll have one from day one.

Qualifications Required

– Must know debits and credits. There will be a test. University of Quickbooks need not apply. CPA probably needed.

– Must have an AI first approach to finance and accounting. ChatGPT Q&A isn’t what we’re looking for. You’ve automated workflows, coached it through using a browser for data aggregation, and used it to build financials.

Applications will not be reviewed on Indeed. If you are interested, email jake@acme-homes.com with two examples of AI workflows you've implemented and how many people you would need to run an accounting department.

Pay: Up to $300,000.00 per year
