About the Role:

We're seeking an operationally-minded and strategic finance leader to join our rapidly growing environmental services company. This hybrid role is focused on building and managing the financial engine of our business—optimizing our cash conversion cycle, scaling our systems, and providing the financial visibility needed to drive our growth. You will start by mastering the core financial operations and evolve into shaping company-wide strategy, building a team, and becoming a key partner to the CEO.

Initial Responsibilities (The Foundation)

* Own the Cash Conversion Cycle: Take complete ownership of our working capital, mastering the flow of cash from project kickoff and invoicing (AR) to final payment and vendor management (AP).

* Drive Project Financial Performance: Partner with our operations teams by refining job costing, managing work-in-progress (WIP) reporting, and delivering real-time financial insights that improve project profitability.

* Manage the Financial Rhythm: Run the day-to-day financial operations of the business, ensuring our quote-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes are efficient, accurate, and scalable.

* Deliver Actionable Insights: Produce timely and clear financial reports that empower the leadership team with visibility into business performance, moving beyond just the numbers to highlight key trends and opportunities.

* Build Scalable Systems: Partner with our fractional CFO to design and implement robust financial systems, tools, and internal controls that will support our rapid expansion.

Growth Responsibilities (The Future)

* Partner to Drive Operational FP&A: Collaborate with our FP&A lead to bridge the gap between the strategic financial plan and day-to-day execution. You will be responsible for building the operational, project-level, and departmental inputs for our budgets and forecasts, and then driving the analysis of actual vs. planned results to provide actionable feedback to the business.

* Build & Lead the Team: Recruit, mentor, and lead a lean, high-performing finance and accounting team as the company scales.

* Guide Strategic Decisions: Provide data-driven financial insights to support key decisions around geographic expansion, new service lines, and major capital investments.

* Manage Capital & Banking: Take ownership of banking relationships and support future debt or equity capital strategies.

* Serve as a Leadership Partner: Become a trusted member of the leadership team, contributing to cross-functional initiatives and overall company strategy.

What We're Looking For:

* A Curious Problem-Solver: You have an analytical mindset, constantly ask why, and are driven to find a better way to do things.

* An Entrepreneurial Spirit: You have a clear ambition to grow from a hands-on operator into a strategic finance leader.

* A Systems Thinker: You get excited about designing and building scalable processes and systems that create efficiency and clarity.

* Grit & Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced, growing, founder-led environment and are comfortable with ambiguity.

Why Join Us:

You'll step into a leadership position at a company experiencing rapid growth and making a tangible impact on public safety, environmental emergencies, and infrastructure resiliency. This is a rare opportunity to shape the finance function from the ground up—and to grow into a true strategic partner to the CEO.
