Be part of our next chapter.
francesca’s is writing a new story—one of reinvention, relevance, and bold growth. With 410 boutiques in 45 states, a fast-growing e-commerce business, and two powerful brands (francesca’s and Hello Franki), we’re building something fresh in the world of accessible fashion. Following some hard but necessary chapters, we’re now on the rise—and we’re calling in strategic thinkers, boundary-pushers, and builders to shape what comes next.

This is a unique opportunity to bring financial rigor and creative foresight to a company in motion. We’re not looking for someone to maintain the status quo—we want a finance leader who sees around corners, loves rolling up their sleeves, and can help fuel transformation with data, precision, and heart.

What You’ll Own

• Strategic Financial Leadership: Lead all FP&A activities, including budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, and performance tracking across our omnichannel business.
• Insight-Driven Decision Support: Provide forward-looking insights to the executive team, helping us allocate resources wisely and identify new growth levers.
• Operational Finance Excellence: Own month-end close, lead consolidated reporting, and build scalable, tech-enabled processes that power the business.
• Transformation Partner: Drive process and systems improvements that increase agility, reduce manual work, and set us up for future scale—especially in revenue recognition, inventory, and cost management.
• Team Builder: Inspire and mentor a team of finance professionals. Create a culture of excellence, curiosity, and accountability.

What You Bring

• 12+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally with both Big 4 public accounting roots and brand-side leadership in omnichannel retail, DTC, or CPG.
• Experience leading teams through growth and change, especially within companies between $200M–$750M in revenue.
• Proven track record in building forecasting models, implementing new systems, and supporting M&A or structural transformations.
• A strong command of GAAP and financial controls, plus an ability to simplify complexity for non-financial partners.
• A strategic mindset with the agility to go deep in the details when needed.
• CPA required; MBA or Master’s in Finance or Accounting preferred.

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

• Love the build: You’re energized by change and see whitespace as possibility, not chaos.
• See beyond the numbers: You know that storytelling and timing matter just as much as accuracy.
• Believe retail isn’t dead—just different: You’re curious about consumer behavior, digital shifts, and how finance fuels relevance.
• Lead with humility and high standards: You expect a lot of yourself and your team, and you roll up your sleeves to help them get there.
