Job Description

Position Description:

Company Description:

We help our clients with IT so they can focus on running their business, law firm, medical practice, or manufacturing company. We also manage school networks and perform contracting work for large organizations. Big picture - we do all sorts of things from designing networks to providing ongoing maintenance; we are the company that our clients call for everything from basic computer support, to hosting, cybersecurity and network management. Some clients want to push the envelope with new technologies, and some just want to want to keep IT costs to a minimum.

Cantey Tech is a well-established business, having been founded in 2007 in Charleston, South Carolina by current CEO Willis Cantey. We are growing, both organically and through acquisitions, with a focus in the southeast United States (broadly speaking the area between Virginia, Florida and Texas). We are proud to have been selected as an Inc. 5000 recipient eleven times in our history. We have also completed four acquisitions over the past four years and will continue to evaluate opportunities as they arise. We have a great financial partner in LNC Partners, a private equity firm from northern Virginia who started supporting us in 2021. Fear not- they are not PE overlords! They are great people who want to help as we grow. As a team we follow the EOS methodology based on the book Traction by Geno Wickman. This helps us stay organized and process driven as we grow.

We are looking for great people who are excited about technology and enjoy dealing directly with clients. We're fanatics about client service, we run a responsive and professional operation, and we love what we do. (OK, we don't love it every day but most days we do.). We offer great benefits, excellent compensation, paid time off, medical & dental insurance, 401(k) plan and more. Every day is different over here and you must learn quickly and run with it.

Job Description:
The Vice President of Finance and Accounting at Cantey Tech Consulting will be responsible for overseeing the financial operations and strategy of the company. The Vice President of Finance and Accounting plays a critical role in the overall management and growth of the organization and works closely with management and our PE partners to drive financial performance and ensure the company's financial health. This role is viewed as a member of the leadership/management team. We have a fantastic Controller who oversees two Accounting Generalists and one person in purchasing who would report to the Vice President of Finance and Accounting. HR would also report to this position. This role has the potential to grow into the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) position.
We’re looking for someone based in the Southeast – ideally within a reasonable drive of our Charleston headquarters. While we embrace flexibility and support working from home, we’ve found that nothing beats the value of face-to-face collaboration, especially at the leadership level. That’s why our management team makes it a point to meet in person at least once a quarter.

This is a local position, though we offer flexibility. Regular in-office attendance will be important during the onboarding period as you become familiar with the business, but most responsibilities may be performed remotely thereafter. In this role, you would be expected to be in our main office for our day-long quarterly meetings, our two-day annual meeting, and our annual managers' meeting, which is typically two days.
