About Techno

Techno Consult, Inc. is a rapidly expanding engineering and construction management firm redefining the future of infrastructure across the Northeast and Mid‑Atlantic. With decades of experience delivering high‑impact projects in water / wastewater, transportation, and public works, we partner with major agencies such as NYCDDC, NYCDEP, and the Port Authority of NY & NJ to bring complex initiatives to life. As we expand into new markets and partnerships, Techno is positioned to lead the next generation of infrastructure development. Backed by deep technical expertise, a commitment to Total Quality Management, and a growing footprint that now includes offices in New York City, Princeton, Massachusetts, D.C., and Baltimore, we remain focused on delivering excellence, building lasting partnerships, and shaping resilient communities.

About the Role

Techno is seeking a highly experienced Director or Senior Manager of Finance—a foundational hire who will build and lead the company’s finance function. Reporting directly to the CEO, this role offers unmatched executive visibility and the chance to influence both strategy and operations at a critical stage of growth. You will be responsible for establishing and overseeing all financial disciplines, including strategic finance, accounting, FAR‑based reporting, billing, compliance, and systems optimization. The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands‑on, with deep experience in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) and a strong command of city / state‑funded project accounting in the Tri‑State area.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Finance & Executive Leadership

  • Serve as a key advisor to the CEO and executive leadership on all financial matters
  • Build and lead annual planning, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management
  • Provide financial models, KPIs, and business insights to support growth strategy
  • Prepare board‑level reports and help shape long‑term investment and hiring decisions

Accounting, Reporting & Compliance

  • Oversee all accounting functions, including general ledger, reconciliations, and monthly / annual close
  • Ensure accurate preparation of FAR‑compliant financials for government‑funded contracts, while maintaining GAAP‑based internal statements for management and auditors
  • Implement and maintain internal controls, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance (federal, state, and local)
  • Lead all external financial audits, tax filings, and financial disclosures
  • Project Billing & Cost Management

  • Own the full lifecycle of project billing and cost reporting—from time entry to client invoicing
  • Collaborate closely with project managers to ensure timely, accurate billing and cost tracking
  • Standardize WIP, margin tracking, revenue recognition, and client reporting across multi‑agency contracts
  • Drive process improvements that streamline billing cycles and cash collection
  • Systems, Process & Team Development

  • Design scalable systems, tools, and workflows to support rapid growth
  • Evaluate and implement financial technology or ERP upgrades as needed
  • Collaborate with HR, operations, and project management teams to ensure financial alignment
  • Help recruit and mentor future finance team members as the department scales
  • Qualifications

  • 15+ years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, or FP&A roles
  • Experience in the AEC industry, with direct exposure to civil engineering or construction firms working with city / state government agencies
  • CPA strongly preferred
  • Deep expertise in FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) is mandatory
  • Thorough understanding of GAAP, with the ability to manage both frameworks in parallel
  • Proven success building or leading finance functions in growing organizations
  • Strong understanding of project costing, billing, and time‑and‑materials business models
  • High proficiency with financial systems and Excel; experience with platforms like Deltek, QuickBooks, or other ERPs a plus
  • Executive presence and strong communication skills—able to clearly present data to non‑financial stakeholders
  • Benefits

    Techno offers a competitive salary and a robust benefits package including enrollment in our 401(k)‑retirement savings plan, comprehensive dental, health, and vision insurance coverage, as well as life insurance. Employees are also eligible for paid time off and the opportunity to earn bonus incentives.

    Techno ensures that all applicants are considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran status, or disability status.

    The Pay Range For This Role Is

    110,000 - 160,000 USD per year (Princeton, NJ)
