• Conduct financial reporting, job cost analysis, and WIP reconciliations
• Represent the division in monthly financial reviews and board presentations
• Ensure compliance with GAAP and corporate financial policies

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance (CPA preferred)
• Minimum 7 years of progressive experience in accounting/finance; 3+ in a leadership role
