Identify and implement process automation and system improvements (ERP, job costing, fleet, and reporting tools) to improve efficiency across the region.
Collaborate on annual budgeting and forecasting for each entity and roll up regional projections for leadership review.
Support the annual audit process, including preparation of schedules, responding to auditor requests, and coordinating information across entities.
Perform other projects and duties as assigned.

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; CPA or CMA strongly preferred.
7+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including multi-entity or multi-location consolidation; prior Controller experience required.
Experience in a PE-backed, roll-up, or multi-acquisition environment strongly preferred.
Experience in construction, field services, home services, or equipment/installation-based industries is a plus.
Strong working knowledge of GAAP, internal controls, and month-end close processes.
Advanced Excel skills; experience with ERP/accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage) and field service management platforms (e.g., ServiceTitan) preferred.
Demonstrated ability to manage and develop distributed accounting teams across multiple locations.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate financial results into actionable guidance for non-financial operating leaders.
Willingness to travel regularly to operating locations within the region.
