The posting

Role At a Glance The Senior Finance Manager is a key member of our leadership team. You'll oversee the financial operations of multiple businesses, including our architecture and engineering consulting practice and our construction management company. You'll lead core finance functions such as month-end close, financial reporting, accounts payable, and financial operations while ensuring strong controls, efficient processes, and scalable practices that support our growth. We're looking for a collaborative, forward-thinking finance leader who has experience developing high-performing teams, ideally within the architecture, engineering, construction, or construction management industries. You'll be equally comfortable diving into the details of accounting and reconciliations as you're analyzing business performance, identifying opportunities and risks, and providing insights that help drive strategic decisions. Beyond strong technical expertise, you'll be passionate about improving how work gets done. You'll champion the use of technology, automation, and AI to streamline processes, strengthen controls, and create efficiencies across finance functions such as accounts payable, expense management, reconciliations, and reporting. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, influence business decisions, and help shape the future of a growing organization, we'd love to hear from you.

Internal Controls & Governance

Maintain and strengthen internal controls appropriate for a growing organization. Ensure compliance with company policies, regulatory requirements, and audit expectations. Identify control gaps and implement scalable solutions. Support external audits and other compliance initiatives.

Process Improvement, Technology & AI

Champion continuous improvement initiatives across finance operations. Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and reduce administrative effort. Leverage AI and technology solutions to improve AP workflows, reporting, approvals, reconciliations, and data quality. Partner with business leaders to implement best practices and scalable processes.

Business Partnership

Provide financial insights and recommendations to senior leadership. Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management activities. Understand operational drivers within both the consulting and construction management businesses. Help leaders translate financial information into actionable business decisions.

What you bring to the table Required

CPA designation or equivalent accounting qualification. 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience. 3+ years leading and developing a finance team. Strong experience with financial reporting, month-end close, and accounting operations. Proven ability to improve processes and implement change.

Preferred

Experience within architecture, engineering, construction, project-based consulting, or construction management industries.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
