A seat at the table — not just a view of the numbers.

This is not a role for someone who wants to close the books and call it a day.
A fast-growing, multi-division company — already built on an exceptionally strong accounting foundation — is ready to level up. They have the operational horsepower and the revenue trajectory. What they need now is a financial leader who can sit alongside the executive team, look at the business through a strategic lens, and help drive what comes next.
Reporting to the COO with close alignment to the owner, you’ll own the full financial picture: FP&A, cash management, operational performance, and the infrastructure needed to scale toward $100M and beyond. You’ll lead a talented Controller and accounting team that’s already firing on all cylinders — your job is to elevate the function, not rebuild it.

Drive Financial Strategy

• Partner with the COO and owner to shape financial direction and long-range planning
• Build and own budgets, forecasts, and financial models across all divisions
• Deliver scenario analysis and recommendations that inform real decisions

Own Cash Flow & Capital Performance

• Lead cash flow forecasting and liquidity management end-to-end
• Improve working capital cycles and cash conversion performance
• Oversee banking relationships and capital allocation with senior leadership

Partner with Operations

• Connect financial outcomes to field performance through deep ops relationships
• Develop and track KPIs that matter: gross margin, job profitability, labor efficiency, WIP
• Support pricing strategy, job costing visibility, and margin improvement

Lead & Develop the Finance Team

• Manage and mentor the Controller and accounting team with clarity and accountability
• Identify future talent needs and lay the groundwork for an eventual CFO hire

Build for Scale

• Drive automation, process improvement, and reporting infrastructure
• Strengthen internal controls and design scalable systems for the company’s next chapter

• 7–12+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience with demonstrated leadership
• Background in construction, landscaping, field services, or project-based environments strongly preferred
• Deep fluency in FP&A, cash flow management, job costing, and WIP
• Proven ability to build financial models and communicate them in plain language
• Experience scaling processes and systems in a fast-moving, growing organization
• A track record of partnering with operations — not just reporting to them
• Bachelor’s in Finance or Accounting required; MBA or CPA preferred
• High ownership mentality, strong communication skills, and genuine strategic curiosity

The foundation is already there. The growth trajectory is real. The leadership team is bought in. What’s being built here is something that doesn’t come along often — a true partnership between finance and operations at a company moving fast with smart people at the helm.
You won’t be cleaning up messes. You’ll be building something.
