Director of Finance
Position Overview
The Director of Finance is a key member of Binswanger Glass’s finance leadership team, responsible for overseeing the company’s financial planning and analysis, reporting, budgeting, and compliance functions. This role serves as a strategic partner to the CFO, CEO, and business unit leaders — translating financial data into actionable insights that drive operational performance and long-term growth. The Director leads a high-performing finance team, steers the annual planning process, and ensures the integrity and accuracy of all financial reporting and controls across the organization.
This is a critical role in the evolution of the business. Success in this seat will be defined as much by attitude as by technical pedigree — we are looking for a finance “athlete”: a proactive, self-motivated, and intellectually curious professional who is hungry to learn, dig into the data, and drive the business forward.

- Manage reporting and compliance for the company’s ABL revolving credit facility, including borrowing base support and lender deliverables.
- Analyze project-level performance across the business — including project margins, labor productivity, and contract profitability — to identify performance gaps and drive corrective action.
- Apply knowledge of contract-based businesses and percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting to ensure accurate revenue recognition, margin reporting, and project forecasting.
- Develop and maintain long-range financial projections and scenario models to support strategic planning and capital allocation decisions.
- Perform variance analysis against budget and forecast, identifying performance gaps and recommending corrective actions to leadership.
- Ensure timely and accurate preparation of financial statements, management reports, and executive presentations in accordance with GAAP.
- Produce and manage Board of Directors materials and deliver regular financial presentations to executive leadership and the private equity sponsor.
- Drive operational performance analysis across departments and a multi-site branch network, developing and monitoring KPIs that link financial results to business outcomes.
- Lead financial modeling for new business initiatives, investment opportunities, M&A activity, and capital projects.
- Oversee cash flow management and treasury operations to ensure adequate liquidity for business operations and growth initiatives.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate financial risks including market exposure, operational inefficiencies, and compliance vulnerabilities.
- Manage capital expenditure planning, working capital optimization, and financing strategy in coordination with the CFO.
- Build, lead, and develop the finance team — establishing a high-performance culture and creating professional growth opportunities for team members.
- Act as a strategic advisor to the CFO, CEO, and department heads, providing financial perspective on business decisions and initiatives.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, HR, sales, and IT to ensure financial alignment with business objectives.
- Communicate financial performance, strategy, and risks effectively to non-financial stakeholders across the organization.
- Serve as a liaison to external financial partners including banks, the private equity sponsor, investors, and auditors.
