Chief Financial Officer

Bone & Associates
Lebanon, TN

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Senior Living | Property Management | Agriculture | Construction


Position Overview

We are a privately held, owner-led organization with diversified operations across senior living, property management, farming/agriculture, and construction. We move quickly, pursue opportunities with conviction, and are not afraid to take calculated risks in pursuit of growth. We are looking for a Chief Financial Officer who is built for that environment — someone who can provide financial discipline and clear-eyed analysis while remaining a trusted partner to ownership as we continue to grow.

This is a hands-on executive role that requires equal parts strategic thinking and operational execution. The right person is a strong communicator, a dependable team leader, and someone who takes genuine ownership of their work. You will be a key voice at the leadership table that consists of ownership, President of Construction, and COO — and you will need to be comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast-moving organization where priorities can shift and decisiveness is valued.


Partnering with an Entrepreneurial Owner

A critical aspect of this role is the ability to work effectively alongside an owner with a high-risk tolerance and an entrepreneurial approach to growth. This is not a role for someone who leads with "no" or who is most comfortable in a slow-moving, committee-driven environment. The ideal CFO for our organization will:

• Works well with executive leadership team that consists of the owner, President of Construction, and COO to make all decisions for the organization

Provide honest, well-reasoned financial analysis that helps the leadership team to make informed decisions — quickly

• Understand the difference between uncalculated risk and strategic risk, and be able to communicate that distinction with clarity and confidence

• Structure deals, acquisitions, and capital deployments in ways that protect the business while preserving the agility ownership depends on

• Raise concerns directly and professionally — then get behind the decision once it is made

• Build financial systems and controls that create a foundation for growth

• Stay steady and solutions-oriented when the pace of change is high and ambiguity is present

• Serve as a professional and credible representative of the organization in all interactions with bankers, investors, legal counsel and community partners


Key Responsibilities

Financial Leadership & Strategy

• Develop and execute financial strategies that support organizational goals and fuel continued growth across all divisions

• Deliver forward-looking financial insights, forecasts, and scenario plans that enable confident, timely decision-making by ownership and leadership

• Serve as a true strategic partner — engaged, direct, and always focused on the long-term health of the business

• Evaluate acquisitions, expansions, and investment opportunities with rigor and present clear recommendations


Financial Operations

• Oversee all accounting functions including general ledger, AP/AR, payroll, and financial reporting

• Manage multi-entity and inter-company accounting structures with accuracy and discipline

• Deliver timely and reliable monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements

• Implement and maintain internal controls that protect the organization


Audit & Compliance

• Lead external audits, reviews, and compilations across all entities

• Ensure compliance with GAAP and applicable regulatory requirements

• Establish audit-ready documentation standards and processes

• Identify and proactively communicate financial and operational risks to ownership

• Is loyal to the organization and the people in it — committed for the long term, not just the next opportunity

• Has a strong work ethic and holds themselves to a high standard without being asked
