  • Provide timely reporting and analysis, including but not limited to department performance, job and project profitability, margins, backlog and work-in-process trends to help leadership understand not only what happened, but why it happened, what it means, and what actions should be considered.
  • Partner with departments to understand financial and operational drivers, including job costing, work in process, project billing, revenue recognition, and inventory, and identify opportunities to improve profitability, cash flow, and business performance.
  • Own and improve the use of the ERP and related financial systems; streamline or automate manual processes to strengthen data integrity, reporting, workflow efficiency, and system controls.
  • Maintain professional and technical knowledge through continuing education, professional publications, and networking, and apply relevant best practices to the organization.
