What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Financial Officer position at KFCD?
Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Location: Hybrid (St. Louis / Chicago / Remote flexibility)
Company: Knoblauch Family Capital Development (KFCD)
Compensation: Competitive equity aligned to performance
About the Role:
Let’s be clear: I am a CFO. But I’ve got an empire to build, and it’s time to hand this function off to someone who’s ready to run with it. KFCD is scaling fast—across real estate, investment, design, education, lifestyle, and cultural ventures—and I need a trusted financial strategist who can bring clarity, discipline, and sharp execution to the financial engine behind it all.
If you’re the kind of person who thrives in the grey, makes spreadsheets sing, and knows how to turn vision into structured, bankable strategy—this is your post.
What You’ll Be Responsible For:
• Overseeing all financial functions of KFCD (forecasting, cash flow, accounting, reporting)
• Building financial systems from the ground up—yes, that means process tech
• Evaluating investment opportunities and capital allocations
• Managing vendor relationships and internal budgets across multiple business units
• Acting as a key advisor to the CEO and leadership team
• Supporting high-stakes ventures including real estate development, investor relations, and new business models
• Creating the financial discipline that turns legacy into lasting success
What You Bring:
• 7 years in finance, ideally with experience in startups, family offices, or multi-entity portfolios
• CPA or MBA preferred—but strategic clarity and execution under pressure matter more
• Comfortable in ambiguity and unafraid to make decisions
• Strong understanding of real estate, financial markets, and modern lifestyle ventures
• A mindset rooted in integrity, legacy-building, and entrepreneurial leadership
What You’ll Get:
• A seat at the table during a once-in-a-lifetime scale-up
• Direct access to visionary leadership (and the freedom to challenge it)
• The opportunity to shape the long-term financial architecture of a multi-faceted, values-driven business
• A front-row seat to rethinking what “family capital” can actually mean
