Financial director in Buildex

Congratulations! 
If you are one of those financial directors who do not like "pretty reports for the sake of reports", but a strong managed business, where numbers help the owner to make decisions - we may have a very right match.

We are a trade and distribution company in the field of construction materials (aerated concrete, bricks, ceramic blocks, dry mixes, etc.). The business is working, has good growth potential, but we want more: transparency, manageability, margin and predictability.
And that is why we are looking for a CFO who will not be an “accounting person” for the owner, but a profit partner.

This is a position with direct reporting to the owner and real influence: on pricing, costs, working capital, financial discipline and strategic decisions.

What will be your main "meaning" in this role:
Build a transparent, managerial financial system that:
shows the real picture of the business (not "how it turned out at the end of the month"),
allows you to manage margins and money,
removes the chaos from accounts receivable/inventory/expenses,
helps you scale without losing control.

Key tasks (and how it looks in real life)
1) Financial management “in manageable numbers”
Implementation of management accounting: P&L / Cash Flow / Balance Sheet.
Liquidity and cash flow control.
Working capital management: debtor / creditor / inventory.
Cost control: logistics, discounts, bonus programs - to the margin did not "melt imperceptibly".

2) Marginality and profit (our key focus).
Analysis of the margin by product groups, customers, channels.
Formation/adjustment of the price policy.
Search for points of growth of the margin in B2B distribution.
Optimization of expenses - without loss of turnover, with reasonable priorities.

3) Planning, budgeting, scenarios.
Financial planning (month/quarter/year) and plan-fact control.
Forecast of cash gaps (cash gap) and a clear action plan "what do we do if...".
Scenario models: growth / crisis / investments.

4) Reporting and analytics for the owner.
Management reports "by the bottom line": what happened, why, what we are doing, what is the effect in terms of money.
Analytics for strategic decisions.
Control of the correctness of accounting and tax accounting together with accounting (we do not expect the CFO to "do the accounting himself", but we do expect control and standards).

5) Strategy and development.
Participation in scaling: new warehouses/directions/branches - with calculation economy.
Financial models for loans/investments/leasing.
Interaction with banks and financial partners.
How we imagine success in the first 90 days

To make it clear to you, “why they hire you”:
First month: diagnosis, financial picture, risks, “where the margin flows”, reporting structure for the owner.
Second month: management outline (P&L/CF/Balance), accounts receivable/inventory rules, liquidity forecast.
Third month: budgeting + plan-fact, the first decisions that give a tangible financial result.

Who we want to see in this role
You are suitable for us if:
You have experience as a CFO/CFO in trade or distribution (B2B) (building materials/FMCG is a big plus);
worked in real life with management accounting, financial analysis, cash flow and working capital;
have case studies: increased margin, brought stock to mind, put order in accounts receivable;
work confidently in Excel/Google Sheets, know the tax field of Ukraine;
can speak with the owner briefly and in the "language of money";
you like systematicity and can do from "manual management" — a managed system.

It will be an additional advantage
experience in a business with a turnover of $5 million/year;
implementation of ERP/CRM (1C/BAS/Odoo/SAP, etc.);
anti-crisis management;
experience with credits, leasing, factoring;
participation in scaling (warehouses, branches, new directions).

What we offer:
Competitive pay: fixed + bonus for the result (tied to indicators that you really influence).
Work "not in the shadows" — the CFO here influences decisions and profits.
Direct communication with the owner without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Format: Kyiv, office/hybrid.

If you are reading this and think: "Yes, I want to put financial order and manage profit, and not just close the month" - send a resume.
We will carefully review your feedback and come back with feedback: either we will invite you to talk, or we will tell you honestly if we do not match now.
