Finance Manager

Join a Mission-Driven Team Building the Future of Drones We're looking for a Finance Manager to take ownership of our financial operations and help us scale smart. This is a hands-on role where you'll manage the day-to-day financials while building the reporting and systems we need to grow into a multi-location company. HLE Drones is the parent company to www.nuwayag.com, and www.dronedeerrecovery.com. We deal in drones, and the supporting products and services. You don't need drone experience—we'll teach you the business. What we need is someone who's sharp with numbers, sees the story behind the data, and wants to build something that matters. We are a faith-based company that believes in doing excellent work, serving others, and building a team culture rooted in integrity, growth, and purpose. If you want to own a finance function, grow with a fast-moving company, and eventually lead a team—this could be a great fit.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

3-5 years of experience in finance, accounting, or financial analysis Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks (experience with inventory management systems is a plus) Comfortable building financial reports, models, and forecasts from scratch Detail-oriented and organized—you catch what others miss Strong communicator who can explain financial data to non-finance people Self-motivated and resourceful—you don't wait to be told what needs fixing Comfortable in a fast-growing, changing environment where you'll wear multiple hats Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or related field (or equivalent experience)

WHERE THIS ROLE GOES

This isn't a dead-end position. We're growing fast and we need someone who can grow with us. Prove you can own the responsibility, build the systems, and lead with integrity—and this role has a clear path to Controller or Finance Director. You'll also have the opportunity to build and lead a finance team as the company expand

Faith-based, purpose-driven culture Positive, team-focused environment where your work matters Opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding company Direct access to leadership—your voice will be heard Ability to build something from the ground up
