Chief Financial Officer (CFO) — Tru Soul Food Kitchen Full-Time, On-Site | Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
About Us
Tru Soul Food Kitchen is a family-run soul food brand that's been serving our community for years and we're growing fast. With our third location in Burlington now open and business booming, we're ready to bring on a strategic leader who can help us build the structure to match our momentum.
The Opportunity
This is a ground-floor leadership role in a fast-growing restaurant brand. You'll join early, sit at the table with ownership, and have a direct hand in shaping how this company scales. We're not looking for someone to watch the numbers from an office , we're looking for a builder.
What You'll Do
- Own the financial health of the company: budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, cost controls, and P&L management across all three locations
- Drive profitability at our newest location while protecting what makes the original locations work
- Bring corporate-level structure, systems, and processes to a family-run operation — without losing its soul
- Build and formalize our hiring, onboarding, and staffing processes so we grow with the right people in place
- Streamline operations: vendor management, inventory, labor scheduling, and reporting
- Roll up your sleeves. Our leaders work alongside the team, and when the floor needs a hand, you jump in — no job here is beneath anyone, including you
Who You Are
- Proven experience in finance leadership (CFO, Controller, or Director of Finance level), ideally in restaurants, hospitality, or multi-location retail
- Strong command of restaurant economics: food and labor costs, margins, unit-level profitability
- A systems thinker who has built processes from scratch, not just inherited them. Experience with Toast POS is a plus
- Experienced in hiring and organizational structure — you know how to build a team the right way
- Hands-on by nature. You lead from the front and never ask the team to do something you wouldn't do yourself
- Excited to grow with a brand, not just manage one
Schedule & Location
Full-time, on-site, five days a week (Monday–Friday, 9–5). This is an in-the-business role, not a remote one.
