KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Our client is seeking a growth-oriented, hands‑on Vice President, Finance to serve as a key partner to the CEO, leadership team, and private equity firm, providing the financial infrastructure required to continue to scale a profitable, compliance-focused category leader.

This leader will ensure the accuracy and timeliness of financial information and unit economics, while driving continuous process improvement. Success will be measured by improved revenue growth, gross margin, EBITDA and free cash flow, stronger cash conversion and overall enterprise value creation.

Specific responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

• Strategic Planning – Partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to lead the Company’s long‑range financial planning and support enterprise decision‑making as the company scales. Translate strategy into actionable plans, including ownership of the annual operating plan, multi‑year forecasts, scenario modeling, and capital allocation—while providing data‑driven insight on profitability, resource priorities, and growth investments. Support key initiatives and potential M&A or integration efforts to drive disciplined execution and sustained value creation.
• Financial Reporting & Accounting – Own the end‑to‑end financial reporting and accounting function, ensuring timely, accurate, GAAP‑compliant financial statements and operational reporting. Lead the month‑end close, budgeting and forecasting cadence, job costing and project margin reporting, and internal controls—driving rigor, transparency, and consistency across the business. Strengthen policies, systems, and processes to support scalability and audit readiness, while delivering high‑quality reporting packages for the CEO, Board, and PE sponsor, including variance analysis and KPI dashboards that clearly highlight performance drivers.
• Value Creation – Serve as the financial architect of the Company’s value‑creation agenda for both the business and its private equity sponsor, driving EBITDA expansion, cash flow improvement, and scalable infrastructure. This leader will execute a disciplined performance plan leveraging KPI dashboards, margin and cost analytics, pricing rigor, working capital optimization, and ROI‑based capital allocation. Ensure a strong reporting cadence and sponsor‑ready insights that deliver clear visibility, strengthen accountability, and accelerate enterprise value over the investment horizon.
• Profitability – Drive sustained profitability improvement by bringing discipline, analytics, and operational visibility to performance. Identify and execute margin expansion opportunities through stronger price increases, pricing and contract analysis, cost optimization, labor productivity insights, SG&A leverage, and tighter internal controls. Partner closely with operations and project leadership to establish clear profitability KPIs, surface root causes, and implement the cadence and governance required to improve gross margin, EBITDA, and cash generation.
• Data, Analytics & Technology – Serve as the enterprise leader for financial data, analytics, and technology, building the infrastructure for disciplined, metrics‑driven management as the Company scales. Define and govern key metrics, ensure data integrity across systems, and build dashboards that provide real‑time visibility into project execution, margins, cash flow and operating performance. Drive automation and process digitization to accelerate close cycles, deepening profitability insight, and embed a culture of accountability through consistent measurement.
• Treasury & Cash Management – Own the Company’s treasury and cash management strategy, ensuring strong liquidity and disciplined working capital management, and reliable cash flow forecasting. Oversee cash planning, banking relationships, and credit facilities, and capital structure considerations, while implementing routines that optimize collections, manage payables, and improve cash conversion. Build robust cash reporting and scenario planning to support growth investments, seasonal cycles, and project working capital needs, ensuring sustained financial flexibility.
• Risk Management & Compliance – Lead enterprise risk management and financial compliance, ensuring strong governance, controls, and regulatory discipline as the Company scales. Oversee internal controls, insurance programs, bonding relationships, and contract risk frameworks, while ensuring compliance with GAAP, tax, and other statutory requirements. Partner with legal, operations, and project leadership to strengthen policies that mitigate financial, operational, and contractual risk—including change order discipline, claims exposure, vendor controls, and audit readiness—while delivering the rigor expected by the Board and PE sponsor.
• Debt Management, Corporate Finance & Bank Relations – Oversee the Company’s debt management and corporate finance strategy, maintaining a healthy capital structure and strong lender confidence, and financial flexibility to support growth. Manage banking and debt relationships, including credit facilities, covenant compliance, lender reporting, and refinancing or amendment activity as needed. Lead financing analysis for strategic initiatives—assessing leverage, liquidity, and cost of capital tradeoffs—while providing sponsor‑ready insights to support disciplined capital allocation and value creation.
