- Prepare and analyze accurate, timely financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) and management reports to support executive decision-making.

- Develop and maintain internal controls, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis to minimize risks and improve financial performance.
- Handle cash flow management, banking relationships, credit facilities, and working capital optimization in a project-based business.

- Coordinate audits, tax preparations, and lender reporting; collaborate with external CPAs and advisors.
- Lead and mentor accounting staff (or build out the function as the company grows).
- Partner with operations, sales, and production teams on pricing, estimating accuracy, contract review, and financial impacts of projects.
- Support strategic initiatives, including integration with Peak Roofing Partners, acquisitions, and growth planning.
- Monitor key metrics: gross margins by job type, overhead control, days sales outstanding (DSO), and overall financial health.

- 7 years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with at least 3–5 years in a Senior Accountant or similar role.

- Strong understanding of Florida construction regulations, insurance claims processes, and sales tax compliance.
