Palm Harbor, Florida, United States CoaterZ Full time

Location: Tampa Bay Area (Hybrid – Remote + Local Meetings)

Company: CoaterZ Franchising HQ

Role Type: Contract-to-Hire or Fractional Lead

Compensation: Competitive + growth pathway

About the Role

CoaterZ Franchising HQ is scaling a national franchise platform in the automotive & marine protection industry. We're building out the financial infrastructure to support growth from 3 locations to 45+. We need a hands-on financial operator who understands multi-entity structures, clean reporting, tax positioning, and bank-ready financials.

This is NOT a bookkeeping role. This is a financial builder role—someone who can architect a reporting system, enforce financial standards, and produce clean, professional financials that lenders and investors respect.

Core ResponsibilitiesFinancial Architecture

  • Build HQ + Franchise QuickBooks structure using Class tracking
  • Standardize Chart of Accounts across the network
  • Implement monthly consolidated and location-level P&L reporting
  • Maintain intercompany structure (HQ management fees, inventory pass-through, software reimbursements)
  • Create SBA/bank-ready monthly financial packages

Tax & Reporting Discipline

  • File and advise on federal and state tax compliance
  • Structure inventory and markup strategy cleanly in QBO
  • Maintain audit-ready intercompany billing
  • Ensure clean balance sheets across entities

Operational Finance

  • Lead monthly close cadence
  • Build job costing visibility by service line (PPF, Ceramic, Tint, Vinyl, Marine)
  • Create executive dashboard with KPIs:
  • Revenue & margin by service line
  • Inventory usage and margin control
  • Lead-to-close metrics with marketing attribution
  • Management fee tracking
  • Franchisee financial compliance

What Success Looks Like

  • No sloppy books
  • Clean reporting, every month
  • Confident lender/investor conversations
  • Franchisees operate inside a financial system—not outside it
  • Headquarters controls inventory, profitability, and compliance by design

Requirements

QuickBooks Online EXPERT – non-negotiable

Must have experience building financial structure, not just maintaining it

Strong command of multi-entity accounting

Experience with inventory tracking & product/service mapping

Can produce clean management reports

Comfortable drafting financial policies and billing structures

Bonus (Preferred, Not Required): Franchise systems, automotive/marine, construction, distribution, or service-based businesses

Bonus: Experience with SBA or bank financing models

Tools

  • QuickBooks Online (required)
  • Google Workspace
  • Excel (advanced formulas, pivots, imports)
  • Shopmonkey (job costing) – will train
  • GoHighLevel CRM – will train

Role Details

  • Flexible schedule
  • Must be available for recurring strategy meetings
  • Local preferred (Tampa Bay) | Hybrid OK
  • Long-term opportunity: Path to Director of Finance or VP of Finance

To Apply

Email with:

  • Resume or LinkedIn profile
  • Example of financials or reporting package you've built
  • One paragraph: "Why I'm a builder, not a bookkeeper"
  • Subject line: "Financial Controller – Gulf Coast Build"
