USP Management, Inc. is seeking a strategic and forward-thinking Finance Director to lead long-term financial planning, investment strategy, and M&A evaluation initiatives for our $95M steel distribution business. This high-impact leadership role is focused on corporate finance and strategic initiatives rather than day-to-day accounting or operational functions. The role will also involve collaborating cross-functionally to drive financial insight and support strategic decision-making. The ideal candidate will bring corporate finance expertise, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to assess financial risks and opportunities as the company prepares for continued growth and potential acquisition scenarios.

Responsibility Areas :

1. Strategic Financial Planning

  • Lead company-wide financial modeling, including long-term revenue forecasts, cash flow projections, and scenario planning.
  • Collaborate with accounting to analyze monthly results and extract strategic insights for leadership.
  • Advise CEO and ownership on capital allocation decisions, liquidity optimization, and profitability improvements.

2. Investment & Asset Strategy

  • Coordinate with investment advisors to evaluate opportunities across public markets, commercial real estate, and strategic funds.
  • Conduct diligence on commercial real estate investments, especially those involving corporate-owned assets or surplus capital.
  • Recommend financing structures to optimize returns and mitigate financial risk.

    • 3. Corporate Development and M&A Readiness

  • Prepare the business for a potential acquisition or strategic sale, including identifying valuation drivers, building pitch materials, and coordinating with brokers or bankers.
  • Identify and initiate contact with strategic or financial buyers aligned with our industry and goals.
  • Drive internal readiness through KPI benchmarking, margin analysis, and process documentation.

    • 4. Monthly Financials—Strategic Oversight

  • Review and validate monthly financials for accuracy and consistency prior to external reporting.
  • Analyze and interpret revenue, margins, cash flow, and KPI to provide strategic insights.
  • Act as the primary liaison for bank reporting, preparing financial commentary, and ensuring covenant compliance.
  • Update cash flow and revenue forecasts using monthly financial results and conduct scenario planning.
  • Recommend operational or pricing adjustments based on financial trends.
  • Prepare executive summaries and dashboards for ownership, advisors, and potential acquirers.

    • 5. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Reporting

  • Partner with logistics, sales, and accounting to align financial strategy with business operations.
  • Develop ownership dashboards and executive summaries to track strategic goals.
  • Liaise with banks, ensuring financial accuracy, covenant compliance, and timely reporting.

    • Minimum Qualifications :

  • 8–12 years of experience in corporate finance, investment banking, FP&A, or private equity.
  • Strong proficiency in financial modeling and valuation methodologies (DCF, LBO, market comps).
  • Demonstrated experience in advising or preparing mid-sized businesses for strategic sale or recapitalization.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate effectively with legal, investment, and real estate partners.
  • Prior experience in industrial, distribution, or asset-heavy business environments.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field.
  • Bilingual proficiency in English and Korean.

    • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) or professional certifications (e.g., CFA, CPA) in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with transaction readiness, pitchbook development, and investor communications.

    • Work Hours :

    Full‑Time (Monday – Friday, 8 : 30 AM – 5 : 30 PM)
