Senior Manager, Finance at HoldCo

About The Oakdale Company

The Oakdale Company is a private investment company that acquires and operates owner-operated American businesses in the $5M–$25M revenue range — primarily in manufacturing, technology, and domestically-produced exports.

We are different from private equity in a way that matters for the person who takes this job: we invest our own capital. We have no outside investors, no fund clock, and no pressure to flip companies for a return on a five-year cycle. That means we make decisions on the timeline that is right for each business — investing in modernization, technology, and growth without sacrificing the culture, customers, and operational foundations the original owners spent decades building.

Our first portfolio company is a domestic OEM in industrial manufacturing, and we have a defined roadmap to grow the portfolio to $100M in revenue in the coming years through additional diversified acquisitions. Every system, standard, and playbook we install at the first company is the operating template for the next four or five acquisitions.
