Director of FP&A

Overview

The organization is seeking an entrepreneurial Director, FP&A to build and professionalize the FP&A function from the ground up. This is a high-impact business partnering role reporting directly to the CFO.

This position begins as an individual contributor with the expectation that the successful candidate will build and scale a team as the platform expands.

Responsibilities

(Scope reflects build-out expected over the first 12–18 months.)

• Management Reporting: Build and maintain the consolidated monthly management reporting package (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) and variance analyses with insightful operational commentary.
• Operational Cadence: Establish a weekly operating flash covering revenue, job production, backlog, headcount, and cash.
• KPI Architecture: Define and roll out tailored KPIs across audiences—from crew- and job-level metrics for field leadership to board and sponsor decks. Drive field adoption so metrics are trusted and acted upon.
• Forecasting & Budgeting: Own the annual budget process, quarterly reforecast cycles, long-range planning, 13-week cash flow forecasts, and integrated three-statement financial models.
• Working Capital & Project Visibility: Drive working capital visibility across unbilled/under-billed work, retainage, change order realizations, and collections. Partner closely with accounting on work-in-process (WIP) and project-level economics.
• Systems & Integration: Partner with Accounting and IT to design the management reporting consolidation architecture, map legacy systems into a single view, and support the finance integration workstreams for future acquisitions.

Requirements

• 7+ years of progressive FP&A and strategic finance experience.
• Experience ideally within a project- or job-costed industry such as construction, utility infrastructure, industrial/field services, specialty contracting, or engineering.
• Demonstrated success building or materially upgrading an FP&A function where limited infrastructure existed previously.
• Comfortable partnering directly with field and operations leaders to translate financial models into operational action.
• Strong working knowledge of job costing, WIP schedules, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, and retainage.
• Expert financial modeling skills, including three-statement models and short-term cash flow forecasting.
• Advanced Excel and data tool capabilities, including Power BI, Power Query, and SQL.
• AI tool application is a plus.
• Hands-on approach with willingness to build and produce models directly rather than solely managing from above.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a private equity-backed or acquisitive environment strongly preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $170,000
• Annual performance-based bonus: targeted at 20%
• Comprehensive benefits

Location

• Remote with occasional travel to operating locations across the West/Mountain regions.
