New Orleans, Louisiana

WHO WE ARE

French Truck Coffee is a growing, privately held specialty coffee company based in New Orleans. Our business includes 14 cafés, wholesale coffee, e-commerce, a coffee roastery, and a commissary supporting our retail locations.

We care deeply about coffee, hospitality, and the communities we serve. We have grown by staying close to our customers and operations, moving quickly when something needs attention, and expecting leaders to take real ownership of their work.

As the company has grown, our financial needs have become more complex. We are now ready to bring our accounting and financial reporting fully in-house and are looking for an experienced financial leader to help guide the company through its next stage.

WHAT THIS JOB REALLY IS

The Director of Finance will be French Truck Coffee’s senior financial leader, a member of the Executive Leadership Team, and the primary financial adviser to the CEO, President, and ownership.

This is more than a traditional Controller position. The Director of Finance will help shape company strategy, annual priorities, capital allocation, financing decisions, and plans for growth. This person will translate financial and operational information into clear recommendations that help ownership and department leaders make better decisions.

It is also a hands-on role. The Director of Finance will work closely with our Administrative Manager to transition accounting and financial reporting from outside providers to an internally managed function. That means taking direct responsibility for the monthly close, financial statements, reconciliations, cash-flow forecasting, and the systems and controls behind them.

This opportunity may be an especially strong next step for an experienced Controller, Assistant Controller, Finance Manager, or second-ranking finan
