Meet Future Leader in Convenience: Harry MacIntyre

ATLANTA — With a degree in economics and finance from Clemson University in Clemson, S.C., Harry MacIntyre joined Atlanta-based RaceTrac Petroleum in 2011. He started as an intern in the finance department, and was promoted through the years to his current position as director of finance for the company’s Treasury and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) groups. 

MacIntyre is responsible for approving RaceTrac’s financial forecast and plan, which includes raising capital, managing the company’s revolving line of credit, and cash management. He collaborates with others on the FP&A forecasting for the company, and manages relationships with all the banks the company works with, including lenders, potential lenders and treasury providers. 

Along with managing RaceTrac’s investment portfolio, his team of eight employees manage all daily and monthly reconciliation and accounting journal entries, as well as reconciliations for cash, in-house banking, debt, investments and swaps. MacIntyre also works directly with the retailer’s vice president of tax on Bolch family needs, such as GRAT loans, donations and day-to-day accounting. 

“Harry is thoughtful, analytical and inquisitive. Just as important, I feel like he is the kind of person who is willing to tell me and all other leaders when he sees something differently than we do or when he recognizes a hole in our analysis,” said Karla Ahlert, vice president of finance. “I value that greatly. He has built tremendous relationships at RaceTrac and with our bank community that positively impact the company daily. Harry has great influence over our business every day.”

In his past eight years with the company, MacIntyre has helped RaceTrac achieve many goals, including leading it to obtain its first syndicated revolver and loan. He helped the company establish a credit department as well, as it expanded sales to third parties. 

MacIntyre is a member of the 401K Committee and Metroplex Trade Credit Committee, and he is a CFA charter holder, having passed all three parts of the CFA on his first attempt. Other memberships include NACS, National Petroleum Energy Credit Association, Association of Finance Professionals, and Charter Financial Analytics.
