Travel: Regular travel to branches in Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs; quarterly travel to Utah

We’re looking for a Regional Finance Manager to act as a true finance business partner to branch and regional leadership. This role goes beyond traditional accounting — you’ll be embedded in the business, traveling to branches, working directly with General Managers and branch leaders, and using financial insights to influence performance, forecasting, and strategic decisions.

This is a high-visibility role within a PE-backed, acquisitive organization
, with meaningful exposure to leadership and a clear path for growth for the right person.

• Partner directly with General Managers and branch leaders to support forecasting, budgeting, job costing, and operational decision-making
• Review weekly and monthly financial results with leadership, explain performance vs. budget, and recommend actions to improve results
• Serve as a trusted financial advisor to the business, translating financial data into clear, actionable insights
• Own the month-end close process for assigned entities
• Review, verify, and reconcile monthly trial balances; prepare and post required journal entries
• Prepare and review balance sheet account reconciliations and monthly bank reconciliations
• Manage approval of bills and ensure accurate G/L coding
• Work closely with the Accounting Director and Corporate Controller on month-end and financial reporting
• Analyze historical, current, and forecasted financial performance to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities
• Provide weekly financial snapshot updates to the Corporate Controller
• Build, improve, and maintain reporting that helps branch and regional leaders better understand financial performance
• Monitor cash flow, reserves, and other key financial metrics

• Lead and support the annual budgeting and forecasting process in partnership with GMs and department heads
• Assist with annual financial audits
• Support integration of acquisitions, including financial reporting, process alignment, and performance tracking

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• CPA preferred but not required
• 4–8+ years of progressive experience in accounting and/or finance
• Experience supporting multiple entities, locations, or regions strongly preferred

• Strong understanding of GAAP and financial compliance
• Advanced Excel skills; high proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Experience with cloud-based accounting systems (Sage Intacct preferred)
• Experience with service-based or job-costing environments (Service Titan a plus)
• Analytical, proactive, and solution-oriented — you don’t wait to be told what to do
• Comfortable traveling to branches and building relationships with non-finance leaders
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain financial concepts clearly to operations teams

• Highly visible, field-based finance role with real influence on business performance
• Direct partnership with branch leaders and executive leadership
• Exposure to a PE-backed, acquisition-driven organization
• Significant career growth potential, including long-term leadership and CFO-track opportunities
