We are hiring a CFO at Mack Boring & Parts Co. — and this is a great opportunity
Mack Boring is a growing industrial distributor serving marine and industrial power markets. We are scaling toward our next stage of maturity, and I am looking for a CFO who will help architect the financial operating system of the company.
Not maintain it. Build it.
This role sits at the intersection of:
• cash discipline
• inventory intelligence
• operational finance
• executive partnership
• capital clarity
• cultural leadership
If your instinct is to optimize spreadsheets more than you optimize decisions, this is not your role.
If your instinct is to improve how a company thinks, operates, and allocates capital — keep reading.
What success looks like
The CFO we hire will:
• Improve financial predictability
• Strengthen working capital performance
• Elevate executive decision quality
• Create transparency without bureaucracy
• Protect liquidity without slowing growth
• Build scalable infrastructure
• Develop internal talent
• Act as a true peer in leadership
This is a hands-on operator CFO role in a real-world distribution business.
Inventory, cash timing, and operational execution matter more here than theoretical finance.
Culture matters
Our customer promise is built around:
Performance
Value
Support
That is not a marketing slogan. It is an operating philosophy.
Finance is not separate from customer experience in this company. Operational friction is a finance issue. Cash discipline exists to support reliability — not replace it.
We want a CFO who sees finance as an operating partner, not a gatekeeper.
The profile we are seeking
We are looking for someone who has:
• Senior finance leadership in distribution or inventory-heavy businesses
• Deep working capital experience
• Cash forecasting discipline
• ERP and systems implementation experience
• Comfort in privately held mid-market companies
• Builder mentality
• Calm executive presence
• Strong communication skills
• High integrity and judgment
• Respect for long-tenured teams
• Ability to introduce discipline without disruption
This is not a corporate CFO role.
This is a scaling industrial business where finance touches real operations every day.
Why this seat is interesting
This role offers:
• Direct executive partnership with ownership
• Real authority to architect systems
• A company entering its next growth stage
• Complex, real-world operational challenges
• A leadership team that wants to improve
• A culture that values long-term thinking
• The opportunity to build something meaningful
You are not inheriting a finished machine.
You are helping design the next version.
Who should reach out
If you are:
• an operator CFO
• a builder
• comfortable in gray areas
• financially rigorous
• strategically mature
• collaborative
• calm under pressure
• allergic to bureaucracy
• energized by real business problems
If you want corporate polish, rigid authority, or purely theoretical finance — we are not your company.
And that’s okay.

Patrick McGovern
President & CEO
Mack Boring & Parts Co.
