About Versus LLC

Versus LLC is a newly formed holding company that will be acquiring strong, durable, cash-flowing businesses across multiple industries (hospitality, restaurants, manufacturing, consumer services, healthcare, and others). We will use disciplined underwriting, high leverage, and rapid integration to scale quickly. All profits will be reinvested to drive continuous acquisitions.

We are at an early stage. As of now:

The LLC is formed
A bank account is established
A fractional HR manager is available
No internal systems or infrastructure exist yet

The CEO will build everything from scratch.

What You Will Do

Build the entire operational, HR, finance, and reporting infrastructure from the ground up
Lead sourcing, evaluation, and structuring of acquisitions
Run operational and financial due diligence
Build and manage lender relationships and financing strategy
Oversee all post-close operations across diverse industries
Develop SOPs, integration playbooks, KPIs, and reporting systems
Recruit and build the initial leadership team (Ops, Finance, GMs, etc.)
Manage Directors of Ops, VPs, GMs, and field teams as the portfolio grows
Drive performance, efficiency, and margin improvement across the portfolio

Initial Note:

You will begin as a 1099 for the first ~2 weeks while you set up HR/payroll infrastructure, then transition into full W-2 CEO status immediately after implementation.
