About The Position

Salute is seeking a Finance Manager to lead core financial operations for a growing business, with significant ownership over how the finance function is structured, systematized, and run going forward. This role combines traditional financial management — budgeting, forecasting, and invoicing — with a mandate to build the underlying systems, processes, and controls that will scale with the business, including a company-wide finance transformation to a single financial platform. The Finance Manager will work in close partnership with senior leadership, contributing directly to operational and strategic decision-making, and will have exposure across multiple business lines and functions as the company grows.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
5+ years of progressive experience in a finance management role, ideally within real estate services, construction, facilities management, or a related project-based business.
Proven experience with budgeting, forecasting, and invoicing at a company or business-unit level.
Demonstrated experience designing or improving financial systems, processes, and controls, rather than only operating within existing ones.
Comfort operating in a growth-stage, evolving environment with limited existing infrastructure — building the playbook, not just following it.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with meticulous attention to detail.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present financial information to both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
