Job Description
Overview
Gibbons Whistler is seeking an experienced and visionary
Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
to join our Executive Leadership Team.
As CFO, you’ll play a critical role in shaping our financial strategy, driving growth, and ensuring sustainable long-term success. You’ll work closely with our CIO and senior leaders to guide key decisions that impact every part of the organization.
What We’re Really Looking For
You’ve built or led companies where
after-tax ROIC exceeded 25%
You operate like a
capital allocator —not just a budget manager
You’ve run finance like a
value creation lab , not a cost center
You’re comfortable navigating and deploying
float-based revenue models , presale cash flows, and deferred revenue structures
You bring a
mini-CEO mindset —able to zoom from balance sheet to bar shift
Cultural Alignment Matters
This isn’t a back-office role - you’ll:
Participate in
bar reviews, venue audits, and guest journey mapping
Hold teams (including our senior leaders) accountable to the
Gibbons Way
and
Gibbons Business Systems
performance standards
Challenge bad growth and protect the long-term brand
How We’ll Choose You
“What’s your ROIC hurdle and why?”
“How do you tie capital strategy to guest experience?”
“What’s your best and worst investment decision?”
You'll be invited to:
Solve our
Float Simulation Challenge : “How would you deploy $25M in pre-sale revenue over 18 months?”
Design a 3-year balance-sheet expansion plan for one of our verticals
Present your
capital allocation framework
and guest flywheel metrics live
Your Source Code
You should know—or want to learn deeply—the principles behind:
Berkshire Hathaway’s allocation discipline
Costco’s float model
LVMH’s IP-driven vertical scaling
Toyota’s frontline-led execution model
Gibbons’ own
Float Fund flywheel
Guardrails You’ll Live By
26.5% equity CAGR
Exceptions: only when funded ≥60% by float or debt
This Is the Game
You're not just a CFO.
You're the
financial co-architect of an empire
rooted in love, vision, precision, and trust—with a 12-year run toward $1.6B.
