  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, tax, regulatory, and audit requirements.
  • Manage KPIs and reporting dashboards to monitor performance across service, projects, installation, and maintenance operations.
  • Accounting Operations

  • Lead all accounting functions including AP, AR, payroll, job costing, WIP reporting, and general ledger management.
  • Strengthen internal controls, processes, and documentation.
  • Manage working capital, cash management, and billing cycles to ensure healthy liquidity.
  • Operational Partnership

  • Work closely with service, construction, and project leaders to understand job performance, backlog, and profitability drivers.
  • Provide financial insights that help operations optimize labor, materials, subcontractor usage, and project execution.
  • Conduct margin analysis, review change orders, oversee WIP schedules, and ensure accurate job costing.
  • Business Growth & M&A

  • Support integration activities when new branches or acquisitions are brought into the business unit.
  • Conduct financial due diligence and help evaluate potential acquisition targets as needed.
  • Develop scalable financial frameworks that support growth.
