Roehl Transport, Inc., a privately owned truckload transportation company, is conducting a nationwide candidate search for a Vice President of Finance to lead the finance and accounting function. 

The qualified candidate will possess a proven track record with extensive experience as a lead finance and accounting manager, or similar senior role. Reporting to the CEO and owner of the business, the VP of Finance will be a member of our executive leadership team and assume a strategic role in the overall management of the company. The VP of Finance is responsible for strategic planning, forecasting and financial planning, accounting, finance, risk management, claims management, legal, and contracts.

A good Finance department leader should be “at the elbow of the CEO”, ready to support and challenge him in leading the business. Finance leaders must balance short-term pressures — managing a company’s cash and profitability — with the long-term vision of the company’s strategy. Above all, the VP of Finance must be good at communicating. They must effectively deliver key information and concepts to “facilitate discussion and decision-making,” including to subordinates so they “are both efficient and motivated.” The VP must communicate effectively with, the owner, colleagues, suppliers, customers, regulators, and stakeholders; and must assist in driving organizational innovation.
