Indianapolis, IN

<\/div>

<\/p>

Jack Laurie Group is looking for a Vice President of Accounting & Finance to lead and strengthen the accounting and financial operations of a growing construction and specialty contracting company.

<\/p>

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands construction accounting from the ground up-not someone who only wants to review reports from a distance.

<\/p>

We're looking for a leader who wants to be in the trenches with the team… helping solve problems, improving processes, supporting operations, and building a highly accountable accounting and finance department that drives the business forward.

<\/p>

You'll report directly to executive leadership and play a major role in the day-to-day financial health, operational accountability, and long-term growth of the company.

<\/p>

What You'll Do

<\/p>

<\/p>

• Lead the Accounting and Finance department across multiple divisions and business units

<\/div>

• Manage and develop a growing accounting team while creating a culture of accountability, urgency, and accuracy

<\/div>

• Own all core accounting operations including:

<\/div>

• Month-end close

<\/div>

• Financial reporting

<\/div>

• Accounts Payable

<\/div>

• Accounts Receivable

<\/div>

• Payroll oversight

<\/div>

• Cash flow management

<\/div>

• General Ledger management

<\/div>

• Construction billing and revenue recognition

<\/div>

• Drive accurate job costing and WIP reporting across active construction projects

<\/div>

• Work directly with Project Managers, Operations Leaders, Purchasing, and Estimating teams to ensure financial accountability throughout the lifecycle of projects

<\/div>

• Analyze labor costs, project profitability, committed costs, and margin performance

<\/div>

• Improve internal accounting processes, systems, and controls while helping scale the company for future growth

<\/div>

• Create and maintain simple, actionable financial scorecards and KPIs for leadership teams

<\/div>

• Assist leadership with forecasting, budgeting, strategic planning, and operational decision-making

<\/div>

• Support audits, tax coordination, banking relationships, and financial compliance requirements

<\/div>

• Help build a finance and accounting function that supports operations instead of slowing them down

<\/div>

<\/p>

What We're Looking For

<\/p>

<\/p>

• Strong background in construction accounting and operational finance is required

<\/div>

• Experience working within commercial construction, specialty contracting, flooring, interiors, or project-based environments

<\/div>

• Previous experience as a Controller, Director of Accounting, Director of Finance, VP of Finance, or similar leadership role

<\/div>

• Deep understanding of:

<\/div>

• Construction accounting

<\/div>

• Job costing

<\/div>

• WIP schedules

<\/div>

• Percentage of completion accounting

<\/div>

• Change orders and project billing

<\/div>

• Retainage

<\/div>

• Cash flow management in construction operations

<\/div>

• Experience leading larger accounting or finance teams in fast-paced environments

<\/div>

• Ability to work cross-functionally with Operations, Purchasing, Estimating, and Project Management teams

<\/div>

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to hold people accountable while building relationships

<\/div>

• Comfortable operating in a hands-on environment where no task is beneath leadership

<\/div>

• CPA or public accounting background is a plus, but not required

<\/div>

<\/p>

What Sets You Apart

<\/p>

<\/p>

• You understand the realities of construction operations and project-based accounting

<\/div>

• You're willing to roll your sleeves up and work alongside the team

<\/div>

• You focus on solving problems and improving processes-not protecting titles

<\/div>

• You can lead a larger team while still staying connected to the day-to-day operations

<\/div>

• You know how to turn accounting data into real operational insight

<\/div>

• You communicate clearly and can work effectively with both field and executive leadership

<\/div>

<\/p>

Compensation

<\/p>

<\/p>

• Highly competitive compensation package based on experience, leadership background, and construction industry expertise

<\/div>

• Performance-based bonus opportunity

<\/div>

• Compensation is flexible and open to negotiation for the right candidate

<\/div>

• Strong upside opportunity tied directly to operational improvement, financial performance, and company growth

<\/div>
