Director of Finance

Position Overview

The Director of Finance is a key member of Binswanger Glass's finance leadership team, responsible for overseeing the company's financial planning and analysis, reporting, budgeting, and compliance functions. This role serves as a strategic partner to the CFO, CEO, and business unit leaders - translating financial data into actionable insights that drive operational performance and long-term growth. The Director leads a high-performing finance team, steers the annual planning process, and ensures the integrity and accuracy of all financial reporting and controls across the organization.

This is a critical role in the evolution of the business. Success in this seat will be defined as much by attitude as by technical pedigree - we are looking for a finance "athlete": a proactive, self-motivated, and intellectually curious professional who is hungry to learn, dig into the data, and drive the business forward.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the financial planning and analysis (FP&A) function, delivering strategic insights, forecasts, and recommendations to senior leadership and the executive team.
• Lead and support the annual budgeting process end-to-end, partnering with business unit leaders to align departmental plans with corporate financial objectives.
• Build and maintain a rolling 12-month three-statement financial model (income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow) to support forecasting, planning, and lender/sponsor reporting.
• Own detailed 13-week cash flow forecasting, partnering with the CFO on liquidity planning and working capital management.
• Manage reporting and compliance for the company's ABL revolving credit facility, including borrowing base support and lender deliverables.
• Analyze project-level performance across the business - including project margins, labor productivity, and contract profitability - to identify performance gaps and drive corrective action.
• Apply knowledge of contract-based businesses and percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting to ensure accurate revenue recognition, margin reporting, and project forecasting.
• Develop and maintain long-range financial projections and scenario models to support strategic planning and capital allocation decisions.
• Perform variance analysis against budget and forecast, identifying performance gaps and recommending corrective actions to leadership.
• Ensure timely and accurate preparation of financial statements, management reports, and executive presentations in accordance with GAAP.
• Produce and manage Board of Directors materials and deliver regular financial presentations to executive leadership and the private equity sponsor.
• Drive operational performance analysis across departments and a multi-site branch network, developing and monitoring KPIs that link financial results to business outcomes.
• Lead financial modeling for new business initiatives, investment opportunities, M&A activity, and capital projects.
• Oversee cash flow management and treasury operations to ensure adequate liquidity for business operations and growth initiatives.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate financial risks including market exposure, operational inefficiencies, and compliance vulnerabilities.
• Manage capital expenditure planning, working capital optimization, and financing strategy in coordination with the CFO.
• Build, lead, and develop the finance team - establishing a high-performance culture and creating professional growth opportunities for team members.
• Act as a strategic advisor to the CFO, CEO, and department heads, providing financial perspective on business decisions and initiatives.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, HR, sales, and IT to ensure financial alignment with business objectives.
• Communicate financial performance, strategy, and risks effectively to non-financial stakeholders across the organization.
• Serve as a liaison to external financial partners including banks, the private equity sponsor, investors, and auditors.
