• Develop accounting policies, procedures, and standardized processes.
• Ensure the integrity of ERP data, reconciliations, and accounting system modules.

Risk & Insurance Management
• Coordinate insurance renewals and serve as the primary financial liaison with insurance brokers, carriers, and internal stakeholders.
• Manage the administration of insurance claims, ensuring timely reporting, documentation, reserve tracking, and claim resolution.
• Partner with project teams to resolve project-specific insurance matters, including builder's risk claims, subcontractor insurance compliance, owner requirements, and contract insurance provisions.

Planning, Forecasting & Analysis
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities.
• Perform budget-to-actual variance analysis and provide actionable financial insights.
• Develop executive reporting, financial models, and KPI dashboards to support strategic decision-making.
• Manage cash flow forecasting, treasury functions, and banking relationships.
• Oversee capital expenditure planning and financial analysis.

Leadership & Process Improvement
• Coordinate annual audits and manage relationships with external auditors.
• Manage tax compliance, intercompany accounting, and regulatory reporting.
• Identify opportunities to automate processes and improve efficiency through technology.
• Mentor and develop accounting staff while partnering with leaders across the business.

• Have established and maintained internal controls, and have real experience in budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A.
• Bring treasury, cash flow, tax, and intercompany accounting experience.
• Are ERP-savvy, with a genuine passion for process improvement and technology.
• Have construction industry experience - preferred but not required.
• Have managed corporate insurance programs, claims, and construction-related risk - preferred but not required.
• Lead collaboratively and approachably, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and stay process-oriented, detail-driven, and curious about the business beyond the numbers.
