About the Role

We are Employee Owned. All of our people receive an ownership stake in the company via our ESOP.

We are Purpose Driven. Our goal is to make a positive impact through each interaction. Therefore, character and integrity are essential.

We openly celebrate faith & family. We believe God owns this business and we’re just stewards for a season.

Innovation is our thing. We’re bent on continuous improvement and crushing expectations. We aren’t afraid to try something new.

We enjoy being at work. The transportation industry is hectic, but we do our best to have fun along the way 😊.

Responsibilities

  • Financial reporting & close — Own assigned areas of the monthly close; deliver accurate, on-time financials with variance commentary that explains the why.
  • Analysis & insight — Build recurring and ad-hoc analysis (Excel/Power Query, Power BI, NetSuite). Surface trends, risks, and opportunities to leadership before you’re asked.
  • Payables & controls — Carry a defined share of the payables workload with strong controls discipline (segregation of duties, payee validation, vendor setup).
  • Process & systems — Contribute to our NetSuite implementation and post-go-live refinement; build automation that removes manual drag.

  • Proven ability to translate data into a clear narrative for non-finance leaders.
  • Self-starter who follows through — owns the work end-to-end.
  • Growth-minded:we value people who want to keep stretching. Leadership potential and initiative are a plus, and we grow from within where the fit is right.
