Daily Driven Exotics Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Chief Financial Officer (Automotive Dealership Group – Franchise + Highline)

TxTCharlie Automotive Group is a high-end, performance-driven dealership group specializing in exotic and luxury vehicles (Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari, Bmw and more). We are also a franchise dealer for Morgan Motor Cars out of the UK. We operate across multiple divisions including retail, wholesale, service, body, and real estate, and we do over $160M+ in annual sales with strong profitability.

We are now entering a major growth phase, including the acquisition of a Kia franchise dealership, and we’re building the financial infrastructure to support a multi-rooftop, franchise-level organization.

Role Summary

We’re hiring a hands-on, franchise-capable CFO who understands dealership operations at a deep level — floorplan, OEM statements, working capital, internal controls, and lender/OEM reporting.

This role is not a “monthly financials” job. We need a CFO who runs the business through:

• daily cash control
• and real-time reporting that drives decisions

You’ll partner directly with ownership and build the financial operating system that supports both highline performance and franchise scale.

Why This Role Is Attractive

• Rare opportunity to be the CFO for a high-performing group entering franchise expansion
• Direct partnership with a hands-on owner
• Ability to architect the finance function from the ground up
• Involvement in acquisition integration, OEM reporting, and future rooftop growth

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 90 days, you will:

• Implement daily visibility into real cash and financial exposure
• Tighten controls around payables, flooring, funding, and approvals
• Establish predictable reporting and close cadence
• Support the financial side of the Kia franchise acquisition and integration
• Build a finance structure that reduces dependency on ownership

Key Responsibilities

Cash, Liquidity, and Working Capital

• Own daily cash management and build a real cash reporting system
• Build and maintain 13-week cash forecasts and rolling projections
• Improve working capital: inventory aging, funding timelines, AP discipline, AR control
• Identify and eliminate cash leak points across departments

Franchise + OEM Financial Support (Kia Acquisition and Beyond)

• Support acquisition transition and ongoing OEM financial requirements
• Ensure accurate and compliant reporting for OEM programs, metrics, and audits
• Build KPI reporting across franchise rooftops and departments
• Support finance operations across multiple entities and stores as the group expands

Floorplan + Banking + Lenders

• Manage relationships with banks, lenders, and floorplan providers
• Optimize floorplan utilization, curtailments, interest expense, and capital structure
• Prepare lender packages, OEM packages, and executive-level financial reporting

Controls, Accountability, and Risk Management

• Strengthen internal controls, approvals, segregation of duties, and compliance
• Implement systems to prevent errors, overspending, and financial blind spots
• Drive disciplined expense management across all departments

Reporting + Operating Rhythm

• Build dashboards and KPI scorecards for ownership (simple, fast, accurate)
• Create department-level P&Ls and profitability by division
• Improve reporting accuracy and reduce close time
• Provide decision support for growth initiatives, capital allocation, and real estate projects

Leadership + Team Development

• Lead and develop the finance team (Controller/Comptroller + staff)
• Hire or upgrade roles as needed to build a franchise-ready finance department
• Drive accountability, urgency, and high standards within the accounting function

Required Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of senior finance leadership experience in automotive
• Deep experience with:
  • OEM financial statements / reporting
  • Cash management and working capital discipline
  • Multi-entity accounting
  • Banking and lender relationships
  • Internal controls and financial process improvement
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
  • Experience with Dealertrack
• High integrity, high energy, and comfortable in a fast-paced, owner-driven environment

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experienced in franchise compliance and OEM reporting
• Comfortable being hands-on while building systems and people
• Strong lender communication and confident in floorplan conversations
• Builds structure without slowing sales and operations

Compensation

• $250K + Depending on Experience
• KPI Bonus: meaningful upside tied to execution and measurable outcomes
• Bonus structure will be discussed based on experience and performance expectations
