Construction Finance \| High-Growth Company \| Big Career Opportunity
Ready to take your construction finance career out of the back office and into the action?
We’re working with a fast-growing company in the construction industry that’s hiring a
Regional Project Finance Lead
to support active projects across a regional portfolio. This is a high-visibility role for someone early in their career who wants real ownership, direct access to leadership, and strong growth potential in the near and long term.
If you have experience in project accounting or construction finance and want to be part of a company where your work actually drives decisions, this could be a great next step.
What You’ll Do
As the
Regional Project Finance Lead
, you’ll serve as the key finance partner to regional operations, helping ensure project costs, forecasts, WIP reporting, and close-outs are accurate, timely, and aligned with revenue recognition standards.
You’ll:
- Partner directly with Project Managers to review job costs and project performance
- Lead regular project status conversations across active jobs in your region
- Monitor financial health of projects, including cost tracking, WIP accuracy, and forecast validation
- Support percentage-of-completion revenue recognition by ensuring completion levels reflect actual performance
- Coordinate project close-out activities, including PO closure, documentation, and system updates
- Prepare month-end accruals for closing projects
- Review regional WIP schedules and flag unusual margin or cost trends
- Act as the main finance contact for regional GMs and PMs
- Help identify coding issues, missing receipts, cost variances, and forecasting gaps
- Escalate trends and anomalies to finance leadership
- Support process improvements, training, and systems enhancements
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Growth-focused company
with strong momentum
- High-impact role
with visibility to finance and operations leadership
- Career runway
for someone looking to grow quickly
- Opportunity to build both financial and operational expertise
- Great fit for an early-career professional who wants more ownership and faster development
What They’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree required
- 3\+ years of experience in
construction project accounting
or
project finance
- Construction industry experience strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of
WIP accounting
and
percentage-of-completion revenue recognition
- Advanced Excel skills, including lookups and pivot tables
- Experience with
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
or a similar ERP
- Strong analytical mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions
- Clear communicator who can build strong relationships with Operations while maintaining financial accountability
- Organized, self-directed, and comfortable juggling multiple active projects at once
