• Strong business partnering skills, with a “driver” mentality to push performance and lead discussions
  
• Experience leading finance in a multi-location, service-based or project-based environment
  
• Demonstrated tenure and stability in prior roles (3–5+ years per role is preferred)
  
• Exceptional communication and leadership presence, with the ability to influence at the executive level
  

Nice-to-Haves:

• Industry background in construction, design-build, manufacturing, or landscaping
