Title: Finance Manager
Location: Clearwater, FL
Salary: $100,000 – $130,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out for a Finance Manager

• Dynamic, growing leader in the recreation industry with a nationwide footprint and new facilities launching regularly
  Beautiful corporate office with bay views in downtown Clearwater
  • Highly visible Finance Manager role with direct exposure to senior leadership
  • Opportunity to step into a strategic, forward-facing finance position (not just transactional accounting)
  • Laid-back, collaborative culture with strong opportunities for professional development and advancement

Key Responsibilities for the Finance Manager

• Lead the annual budgeting process, partnering with department leaders to develop detailed operating and capital budgets
• Own the monthly forecasting process, including rolling forecasts and scenario modeling to support strategic decision-making
• Perform in-depth variance analysis (budget vs. actual, forecast vs. actual) and present actionable insights to leadership
• Develop and maintain financial models to evaluate new facility launches, expansion initiatives, and capital investments
• Analyze revenue trends, pricing strategies, and margin performance across locations to identify growth opportunities
• Partner with operations leadership to track KPIs, improve profitability, and drive data-backed decision-making
• Build and enhance dashboards and reporting packages for executive leadership and board-level visibility
• Conduct scenario and sensitivity analyses to assess risk, cash flow impact, and long-term financial sustainability
• Support long-range financial planning and strategic growth initiatives across the organization
• Evaluate cost structures and recommend process improvements to increase efficiency and scalability
• Oversee month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting
• Ensure financial statements are prepared in compliance with GAAP and internal policies
• Strengthen internal controls and support audit requirements as needed

Qualifications for the Finance Manager

• Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
• 4–7 years of progressive experience in public accounting, corporate finance, or FP&A (public accounting foundation strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated experience leading budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis processes
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear business insights
• Proven ability to develop KPIs, dashboards, and executive-level reporting packages
• Advanced Excel skills required (pivot tables, advanced formulas, financial modeling); experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.) is a plus
• Experience supporting growth initiatives such as new location launches, capital investments, or expansion modeling preferred
• Strong communication and presentation skills with confidence presenting financial insights to leadership
