Finance Manager
About the role
Kanbrick is a purpose-driven, long-term investment partner to owner-, family-, and founder-led businesses. We work hands-on with our companies to unlock their full potential through strong operations and people leadership, thinking in decades, not quarters. We are not a traditional private equity firm. We believe great companies are built by people, not financial engineering, and that the hard, unglamorous work of building operating infrastructure is what actually creates enduring value. Our culture is purpose-driven, entrepreneurial, and meritocratic, with an emphasis on empowerment and accountability. You can learn more about Kanbrick at www.kanbrick.com/careers.
The Role
Kanbrick is bringing on its first Finance Manager: a CPA, who is currently ready to step into real ownership of a firm's full financial infrastructure. Reporting to the VP Finance, you will support Kanbrick's accounting, compliance, investor relations, and tax functions, while also advancing firm administrative and operational priorities.
Accounting & Financial Reporting: Own month-end and year-end close, financial statements, and internal reporting. Ensure books are clean, current, and audit-ready at all times. This is the foundation everything else rests on.
Compliance & Regulatory: Support SEC compliance obligations, administer regulatory filings, and keep the firm current on its compliance calendar. You will be the internal subject matter expert and the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Tax: Coordinate federal and state tax filings across the firm and its structures. Work with outside advisors and own the internal preparation.
Investor Relations & Audit: Support investor relationships with accurate, timely financial reporting. Manage external audit processes end-to-end. Educate internal team members on financial matters as the firm grows. This is a wide seat. The right person will run it autonomously and will be trained on any element where their background has gaps.
What is not negotiable
Technical accounting depth
CPA credentials
The ability to work in a small, fast, high-trust environment without needing someone to hand you a checklist
What Makes This Different
Real Ownership, Not a Support Function
Breadth That Is Genuinely Rare
Accounting. Tax. Compliance. Investor relations. Audit management. Very few roles at this level touch all of it.
Who We're Looking For
A clear path to this seat runs through Big 4 public accounting — audit or advisory — followed by a move into a smaller or founder-led business where the scope expanded quickly.
A second path: a CPA who came up through a regional firm and made an early move into a controller or senior accounting role at a smaller company — picking up breadth in tax, compliance, or investor-facing work along the way.
What Both Archetypes Share
A track record of doing more than their title suggested, and thriving in it.
A disposition that matters as much as the credentials: Takes initiative before being asked — identifies what needs to be done and does it
Comfortable operating with ambiguity and evolving structure
High standards for accuracy and process — does not cut corners on the things that matter
Communicates clearly with non-finance stakeholders — can translate complexity without condescension
Builds trust through judgment, not just credentials
Genuinely curious about the businesses Kanbrick operates alongside, not just the numbers they produce
What We Offer
A collaborative, high-performing team culture.
Opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the success of a growing investment partnership.
Exposure to challenging and rewarding work.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
