Job Description

Job Title : Vice President of Finance

Location : Austin or Houston, TX

Industry : Homebuilding

About the Role :

We are seeking a dynamic Vice President of Finance to oversee the financial operations for our growing Austin and Houston divisions. We are looking for a strategic leader who can manage all aspects of accounting and finance in these startup environments. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting, where they will be expected to build processes and systems from the ground up, wear multiple hats, and drive financial performance.

As the first finance leader in these divisions, you will play a critical role in supporting the divisions' financial health as they scale. This role can be based in either Austin or Houston, with relocation assistance provided for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Financial Oversight : Manage all accounting and finance functions for the Austin and Houston divisions, including accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), and general financial operations.
  • Land Proformas & MUDs : Collaborate with the land team on proformas and work with Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs). A strong understanding of land banking processes and district structures is essential.
  • AP / AR Management : Oversee day-to-day AP and AR activities. While corporate AP handles payments, you will manage the invoicing and transaction processing for both Austin and Houston divisions.
  • Team Leadership : Supervise one direct report, an Operations Specialist who supports accounting functions across both divisions, with potential for future team growth.
  • Startup Culture : Build and refine financial processes for both divisions, acting as the sole finance resource until additional support is needed (roughly one year).
  • Systems Management : Work with Newstar Enterprise and Alliant software to manage financial operations. Experience with these systems or similar ones is highly beneficial.
  • Manual Transactions : Handle a variety of manual processes such as utility bills, permit payments, and other transactional responsibilities typically managed by lower-level controllers.
  • Collaboration : Partner closely with land, operations, and corporate finance teams to ensure smooth financial operations and timely reporting.

Ideal Candidate :

  • Experience : 8 years in finance or accounting, with experience in real estate or homebuilding preferred. Prior experience in startup environments or managing startup finance operations is a plus.
  • Leadership : Strong managerial skills with the ability to lead and mentor a small team and work cross-functionally.
  • Hands-On Approach : Comfortable working independently and creating financial structures and processes from the ground up. Must be proactive and forward-thinking.
  • Knowledgeable : Experience with MUDs, land banking, and proformas is crucial. Understanding of corporate AP, AR, and utility / payment processes is a must.
  • Personality : Ability to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, with the initiative to drive change and solve problems. You should be a self-starter with a collaborative attitude and not afraid to dive into a wide range of tasks.
  • Software Experience : Experience with Newstar Enterprise, Alliant, or similar financial software is a strong plus.
