Qualifications

• 5 years in accounting/finance with Controller or strong Finance Manager experience in a services, MSP, or project-based business.
• Proven monthly close, cash management, and multi-entity or multi-department reporting you personally owned.

• Own budgeting and forecasting: partner with sales, service, and project leaders to produce an annual plan and quarterly re-forecasts that track utilization, margin, and recurring revenue.
• Strengthen billing, collections, and project-costing so DSO improves and service/project margins are visible by client and offering.
• Implement or tighten controls, revenue recognition (MSP contracts, projects, hardware), and audit-ready processes that scale with a 51-200 person private company.
• Provide clear financial insight in leadership meetings: flag risks, quantify opportunities, and recommend actions that protect culture and profitability.
