About The Position

We are seeking a Regional Financial Operations Manager to serve as the critical bridge between our branch operations, regional leadership, and corporate finance. In this role, you won't be bogged down by centralized accounting functions like audits or technical financial reporting. Instead, you will be the ultimate operational liaison—building the support infrastructure our branches need to optimize billing, master cost accounting, manage working capital, and drive regional profitability. If you are a relationship-builder who thrives on process optimization, team mentorship, and strategic impact, we want to hear from you!

Requirements

• A CPA (or equivalent) designation is required.
• 5+ years of operational accounting experience, ideally within industrial services, construction, or a project-based environment.
• Strong foundational knowledge of cost accounting, working capital components, project margins, and operational finance.
• Proficiency with enterprise-level ERP systems.
• You are a master communicator who can translate corporate finance expectations into practical actions for branch staff—and vice versa.
• You build relationships effortlessly, navigate conflict with empathy and candor, and know how to drive accountability across decentralized teams.
• A structured, organized thinker who loves transforming chaotic workflows into scalable, consistent processes.
• Willingness and ability to travel occasionally to support and collaborate with various branches across the region.

Nice To Haves

• Experience guiding teams through an ERP implementation or major system transition is a huge plus.

Responsibilities

• Apply cost-accounting expertise to analyze branch expenses, monitor project spend, and ensure costs align with original quotes.
• Partner closely with branch leadership to provide deep visibility into job margins, project financial health, and labor utilization.
• Collaborate with regional leaders to design operational KPIs, set measurable financial/administrative goals, and track metrics that move the needle.
• Proactively review projects, assist with procurement coordination, and flag potential cost overruns before they impact the bottom line.
• Standardize billing workflows to drastically reduce turnaround times and boost consistency.
• Act as the subject matter expert for ERP implementations, systems integrations, and workflow redesigns, ensuring operational readiness.
• Link operations directly to billing and collections. Regularly review Work in Progress (WIP) against quotes and lead internal workflows for dispute resolution.
• Ensure all customer documentation, Purchase Orders (POs), and billing packages are airtight, accurate, and compliant with corporate standards.
• Identify training gaps, mentor administrative staff, and elevate the overall performance of our branch teams.
• Serve as the primary escalation point to smoothly coordinate and resolve complex regional billing issues.
• Drive workflow discipline, share operational wins, and standardize administrative execution across your region.
