Finance Manager


$140,000-$160,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • This is the top finance role with a homebuilder in the area (managing one employee)

  • They are hoping to find someone who can help find new efficiencies and drive continuous improvement. It’s a fantastic opportunity to act as a strategic partners to ownership and truly own the financial function.

  • They offer a profit-sharing plan

  • On site, five days in office


Key Responsibilities for the Finance Manager:



  • Project Financial Leadership & Allocation


    • Own and optimize project-based cost accounting frameworks to maintain an accuracy benchmark of 95%+ per contract.

    • Partner continuously with project management teams to evaluate active budgets, track real-time financial performance, and provide clear fiscal visibility to leadership.

    • Govern the purchasing lifecycle and material approval pipelines to eliminate supply chain friction and prevent budget variances.


  • Working Capital & Cash Flow Optimization


    • Conduct rigorous weekly liquidity analysis and cash flow modeling to ensure stability, inform executive decision-making, and eliminate financial surprises.

    • Oversee transactional accounting cycles, ensuring accounts payable obligations are settled within 10 days of approval and accounts receivable collections are secured within a 15-day window.

    • Develop sophisticated monthly revenue and margin forecasts, maintaining a strict variance accuracy threshold of 95%+.


  • Risk Management & Regulatory Governance


    • Enforce a zero-tolerance policy for exposure by maintaining 100% compliance for all subcontractor documentation, vendor certifications, and corporate insurance policies across active operations.

    • Direct all recurring corporate compliance workflows, including tax filings, municipal licensing, corporate renewals, and external audit preparations.

    • Supervise vendor management protocols and procurement compliance to defend project gross margins and strengthen trade partnerships.


  • Organizational Strategy & Infrastructure


    • Act as both a visionary architect of new operational efficiencies and a hands-on manager of existing transactional accounting tasks.

    • Supervise internal administrative support staff and optimize general headquarters operations to maintain an efficient, highly organized back office.

    • Establish data-driven controls that directly influence key business indicators, including profit sustainability, cash velocity, and overall operational accountability.



Qualifications for the Finance Manager:



  • 7+ years of experience in the homebuilding or construction industry

  • MBA/Masters strongly preferred, not required
