Maintain and enhance internal controls, accounting policies, and financial procedures.
Lead improvements in ERP/accounting system usage, reporting tools, Excel-based financial models, and automated workflows.
Evaluate current financial processes and implement best-in-class practices suitable for a growing GC.

5. Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting and finance team.
Collaborate with operations, estimating, and executive leadership to ensure financial accuracy and project accountability.
Act as a strategic partner to the VP of Finance and senior management team.
