Strategic Regional Finance Manager

Current • Denver, CO

2d • $108,000 - $150,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Current is seeking a hands-on, highly strategic Regional Finance Manager to serve as the embedded financial partner to regional leadership. You will function as a trusted advisor who understands the region’s operating environment at every level, from firm-wide business performance down to office-level detail, and who can distill that complexity into insight leadership can act on.
This role reports directly to the Director, Corporate FP&A at Current, while carrying direct, hands-on ownership and accountability for financial planning, reporting, analysis and related support for the Central region.
The ideal candidate brings deep FP&A experience in multi-entity or PE-backed environments and thrives in ambiguity. They are proactive, hands-on, and equally comfortable shaping a strategic recommendation for leadership or digging into the underlying data to understand what is driving performance. Success requires strong executive presence, sharp problem-solving instincts, and the ability to turn complex financial and operational issues into clear, actionable insights, then stay engaged through execution.
This role requires candidates to be based in the Central or West region. Proximity to the region’s firms gives this person the ability to be genuinely hands-on visiting offices regularly, building in-person relationships with firm leaders, and staying close to the office-level detail that drives the analysis. Just as important, this is a team player who integrates naturally with the regional leadership team: someone who earns trust through consistent presence and collaboration, not just the quality of the analysis delivered from a distance.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field required; MBA or CPA strongly preferred
• 6+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, including meaningful time operating in a hands-on, business-partnering capacity rather than a purely analytical one
• Background in professional services, PE-backed platforms, or multi-entity / multi-location businesses required
• Expert-level financial modeling; able to build dynamic, audit-ready models from scratch
• Hands-on experience with ERP and planning systems (NetSuite, Workday Adaptive, SAP, Anaplan, or equivalent) and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau or Databricks)
• Strong command of GAAP, financial statement drivers, and the operational metrics that matter in services businesses
• Executive presence and the communication skill to translate complex financial and operational issues into a clear, cohesive story equally effective in a leadership meeting and a one-on-one working session
• A problem-solver by instinct: comfortable digging into ambiguous or messy situations to find the root cause rather than stopping at the surface-level number
• Proven ability to influence without authority and build credibility with senior stakeholders through the quality of your insight and your follow-through, not positional authority
• Highly organized, with the discipline to manage a wide range of competing priorities and deliver consistently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• A genuine team player who integrates naturally with the regional leadership team — collaborative, low-ego, and as invested in the team’s success as in individual output
