Full Job Description
What You'll Own

Financial Leadership & Strategy
  • Own the full finance function, including FP&A, accounting, reporting, and cash flow management across a multi-workstream business (project purchases, fee revenue)
  • Serve as a strategic thought partner to the CEO on capital allocation, revenue model evolution, and the financial implications of Source's staged AI transformation
  • Build and maintain the financial architecture that supports Source's transition from a managed services business to a hybrid platform model
  • Lead annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and rolling financial planning processes

Project-Based & Construction Accounting
  • Own all project accounting operations across Source's active procurement portfolio, including cost-to-complete tracking, draw schedules, client billing, and detailed analysis at the project level
  • Maintain clean financial separation across concurrent projects, ensuring revenue recognition and cost allocation meet GAAP standards in a project-based construction context
  • Enforce internal controls specific to procurement-in-trust workflows, where Source manages significant client capital on behalf of owners

M&A & Corporate Development Finance
  • Lead financial due diligence on acquisition targets, including quality of earnings analysis, revenue concentration assessment, integration cost modeling, and earnout structure design
  • Build valuation models and deal scenario analyses for prospective targets across Source's priority M&A strategies (client list expansion, geographic expansion, talent acquisition)
  • Support integration planning post-close, including entity consolidation, intercompany accounting, and performance tracking against earnout milestones
  • Partner with legal counsel, internal stakeholders, and external teams to advise on deal structure, asset vs. entity transactions, and risk mitigation

Multi-Entity & Operational Finance
  • Design the reporting and integration framework as Source leverages M&A and advise on multi-entity structures and timing of consolidation
  • Ensure financial visibility at both the entity and consolidated level, supporting portfolio-level decision-making by the executive team and board
  • Manage relationships with banking partners, external auditors, and needed fractional/advisory resources

Team & Systems
  • Assess, hire, and develop the internal finance team as the business scales
  • Own the selection and implementation of financial systems that support Source's ERP-agnostic platform strategy and growing operational complexity


About You

Must-Haves
  • 10+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3-5 years in a senior finance leadership role
  • Direct, hands-on experience with project-based construction accounting - including draw management, fraud oversight, project segmentation, and revenue recognition in a construction or procurement context; this is non-negotiable
  • Experience in M&A - either at a company that executed acquisitions or in a transaction advisory/investment banking/corporate development capacity; must be able to own diligence and earnout modeling independently
  • Background in a venture-backed startup or high-growth technology company, with fluency in tracking key metrics, cohort economics, and investor-grade reporting
  • Experience building or operating within a multi-entity or multi-business-unit structure where financials roll up to a consolidated parent
  • AI-native by default - you don't bolt AI onto existing processes; you design with it from the start. You have hands-on experience identifying automation opportunities, mapping workflows for AI intervention, and building or specifying systems that reduce human labor in repetitive, high-volume finance and operational processes.

Strong Signals
  • Exposure to hybrid business models - particularly companies with both a services/managed business and a software or platform revenue line
  • Comfort operating as a "builder" - this is not a role for someone who inherits a mature function; Source's finance infrastructure is still being developed
  • Experience in commercial real estate, construction technology, procurement, or hospitality-adjacent businesses
  • Familiarity with earnout-based deal structures, integration accounting, and post-close financial performance tracking
  • Prior experience with external capital raises or board-level financial reporting Who You Are
  • Operationally fluent - you understand how the money actually moves through the business, not just how it appears on the P&L
  • You think in systems and are constantly looking for areas to improve: inputs, handoffs, failure modes, and feedback loops - and you know how to translate that thinking into actionable infrastructure, whether you're working with an engineering team, or an external vendor
  • A strong communicator who can translate complex financial structures for non-finance executives and board members
  • Highly autonomous and comfortable in ambiguity - Source is a fast-moving company and this role will require you to build while the plane is flying
  • Collaborative and low-ego - you'll work closely with the CEO and the broader exec team and need to be a trusted partner, not a gatekeeper


Why Join Us
  • High-leverage finance leadership role at the inflection point between services and platform business
  • Direct line to the CEO and board; genuine seat at the strategic table
  • M&A activity is live and accelerating - you won't be building models for theoretical deals
  • The financial architecture of this company is still being shaped; you'll leave fingerprints on it permanently
