Pay: $3,000.00 - $95,000.00 per month

The Role

We're seeking a part-time CFO with hands-on construction finance experience to serve as our senior financial leader. This is a working role, not advisory-only. You'll partner with the CEO, our Director of Finance and our Project & Financial Coordinator, who handle day-to-day bookkeeping, payables, receivables and payroll. You'll own the bigger picture: job profitability, cash flow, banking and bonding relationships, and financial strategy.

• Build annual budgets and revenue and margin forecasts by division (Industrial and Commercial)
• Develop KPIs and dashboards for backlog, gross margin, overhead and receivables

Job costing and project finance

• Set up and maintain job costing in QuickBooks Online by job, division and cost type (labor, materials, equipment, fuel, subcontractors)
• Prepare monthly WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion analysis
• Review bids and pricing for margin, and identify underperforming jobs early

Cash flow and banking

• Maintain a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast
• Manage retainage tracking, collections strategy and timing of weekly contractor payments
• Lead banking relationships, including establishing a line of credit

Bonding and risk

• Build a relationship with a surety and prepare bonding-ready financial packages
• Review insurance coverage, certificates of insurance and contract financial terms (pay-when-paid, retainage, change orders)

Controls and compliance

• Strengthen internal controls, approval workflows and company card policies
• Coordinate with the outside CPA on tax planning, entity structure and year-end close
• Advise on multi-state registrations, sales and use tax, and 1099 contractor compliance

Growth planning

• Model scenarios for hiring, equipment purchases and expansion into new markets
• Help scale financial systems as revenue grows, and mentor the internal finance team

Qualifications

Required

• 7+ years of progressive finance or accounting leadership, including at least 3 years as a CFO, controller or finance director at a construction or contracting company
• Hands-on experience with job costing, WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion accounting
• Working knowledge of construction contracts, including AIA billing, retainage, change orders and lien waivers
• Experience managing cash flow forecasting and banking relationships
• Advanced QuickBooks Online and Excel skills
• Clear communicator who can explain financial results in practical terms to owners and project leaders

Preferred

• CPA or CMA
• Experience with surety and bonding relationships
• Background in industrial coatings, specialty trades or commercial contracting
• Experience with multi-state operations and 1099 contractor workforces
• Prior fractional or part-time CFO engagements with small, growing companies

Why Join NCC

• Flexible, mostly remote schedule
• Direct partnership with ownership and real influence on the company's direction
• A growing, family-owned company with strong field credentials and nationwide work
• Opportunity for the role to expand as NCC grows
