Financial Planning and Analysis Manager
Cherry Bekaert  Evansville, Indiana, United States (Hybrid)
 
Manager, Regional Finance
Development/Engineering‑Based Operations | PE‑Backed Growth Platform
Competitive salary + Bonus + Excellent Culture & Growth
 
The Opportunity
We are partnering with a private‑equity backed, rapidly growing engineering and infrastructure services organization to identify a Manager, Regional Finance. This is a newly created and high‑impact role supporting project‑driven operations across multiple business units and acting as a key financial partner to operational leadership.
 
This position sits at the intersection of field operations and corporate FP&A, offering meaningful ownership of forecasting, budgeting, and performance analysis in a hands‑on, execution‑oriented environment. The organization is actively scaling through acquisitions, creating strong exposure to integration, systems, and process improvement initiatives.
 
What You’ll Do

• • Own monthly forecasting and annual budgeting for assigned operating units
  • Consolidate and analyze financial performance, projections, and trends for business and executive leadership
  • Partner directly with operations and sales leaders to drive margin, cost, and performance insights
  • Analyze SG&A, project profitability, backlog, and cost‑to‑complete metrics
  • Build and maintain financial models to support planning, scenario analysis, and decision‑making
  • Monitor cash flow, billing cadence, and collections timing across project portfolios
  • Identify risks and opportunities and support mitigation planning
  • Act as a key liaison between business units and corporate FP&A on systems, forecasting, and process improvements

 
What We’re Looking For

• • 7–10 years of FP&A experience in a project‑based environment (construction, engineering, energy services, infrastructure, or similar)
  • Demonstrated experience supporting multiple business units or regions
  • Strong understanding of project economics, forecasting, and cash flow dynamics
  • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills with the ability to translate data into clear insights
  • ERP experience required (IFS, Oracle, SAP, NetSuite, JD Edwards, Viewpoint, Deltek, or similar)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting; MBA or CPA preferred
  • Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, evolving, PE‑backed environment
  • Confident communicator able to engage with leaders at all levels

 
Why This Role Stands Out

• • True business‑partner role with direct exposure to operational and executive leadership
  • PE‑backed growth platform with acquisition and integration experience
  • Project‑based environment where FP&A directly influences outcomes
  • Flexible hybrid work model (with access to a Midwest office)
  • Competitive compensation, bonus potential, strong benefits, and PTO
  • Long‑term career growth within a stable yet expanding organization

 
Ideal Backgrounds (Not Required, but Highly Relevant)

• • Construction or engineering services FP&A
  • Energy efficiency or infrastructure project finance
  • EPC, design‑build, or industrial services organizations
