Key Responsibilities :

1. Financial Leadership & Reporting :

  • Lead all aspects of financial management, accounting, and reporting across the 3LED Group and its operating divisions.
  • Consolidate group financial statements and deliver timely, accurate reporting to the Founder & Executive Chairman and board.

  • Integrate QuickBooks Enterprise, ERP (Rootstock / Salesforce), and reporting tools into a unified financial architecture.
  • Build a culture of process excellence, documentation, and accountability.
  • 3. Strategic & Operational Finance :

  • Work directly with the Founder & Executive Chairman on group strategy, M&A activity, and capital planning.
  • Lead financial modeling, due diligence, and integration for acquisitions and new ventures.

  • 4. HR, Benefits, and Corporate Oversight :

  • Oversee payroll, benefits, and 401(k) administration in collaboration with external partners and internal HR support.
  • Ensure fiduciary and regulatory compliance for all benefit programs, including ERISA and retirement plan governance.
  • Provide executive oversight of HR policy, compensation structures, and compliance across multiple states.
  • Oversee corporate filings, licenses, and certifications to maintain good standing in all jurisdictions
  • Coordinate with external counsel on employment, corporate, and commercial legal matters, and manage business insurance programs to ensure comprehensive risk mitigation.
  • 5. Leadership, Communication & Culture :

  • Serve as a trusted financial and business partner to the Founder & Executive Chairman — helping translate strategic vision into actionable, measurable outcomes.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the finance and accounting teams across multiple sites.
  • Communicate effectively across the organization — simplifying complex issues and promoting clarity and confidence.
  • Build relationships based on trust, integrity, and shared accountability with all stakeholders.
  • Foster a culture aligned with 3LED’s entrepreneurial ethos : Bright Minds Make Light Work — smart, collaborative, disciplined, and forward-looking.
  • Qualifications

    Required :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Accountant (CA).
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting and finance, with leadership in a multi-entity or manufacturing environment.
  • Proven experience in financial consolidation, cost accounting, and internal controls.
  • Strong understanding of payroll, benefits, 401(k), and compliance frameworks.
  • Demonstrated success building scalable systems and processes in a growth-stage company.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Preferred :

  • MBA or equivalent advanced degree (a plus, but not required).
  • Experience in lighting, photonics, electronics, or advanced manufacturing sectors.
  • Exposure to M&A integration, due diligence, and capital structuring.
  • Familiarity with IPO readiness, investor reporting, and governance.
  • Cultural & Personal Attributes :

  • Detail-Oriented : Precision and accuracy are second nature.
  • Process-Driven : Values structure and documentation; always building for scalability.
  • Entrepreneurial : Thrives in growth-stage environments with evolving systems and priorities.
  • Communicative & Collaborative : Engages confidently across levels and disciplines.
  • Strategic Partner : Balances tactical control with big-picture thinking.
  • Integrity & Accountability : Earns trust through consistency and results.
  • Compensation & Benefits :

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with employer contribution.
  • Paid vacation and flexible hybrid work options.
  • Long-term incentive or equity participation opportunities.
  • Why Join 3LED Group :

    3LED Group is in a transformational growth phase — scaling from a collection of innovative operating companies into a unified, high-performance platform. As Group Controller / CFO, you will work directly with the Founder & Executive Chairman to build the systems, structure, and culture that will define the next stage of 3LED’s success.

    This is a hands-on, high-impact opportunity for a detail-driven financial leader who wants to help shape a fast-growing, vertically integrated, American manufacturing group into a world-class enterprise.
