Building a Transparent Management Accounting System:
- Implementation of reporting that shows a true picture of the business by projects, divisions (HVAC, plumbing), and responsibility centers;
- Automation of data collection (1C, BI dashboards) so that the owner can see key metrics in real-time, not at the end of the month.
Budgeting and Cost Control:
- Instilling a culture of financial discipline in all departments. Training non-financial managers in the basics of budgeting;
- Strict control of budget execution and initiating actions in case of deviations.
Candidate Expectations:
- Experience: from 5 years as a Financial Director or Head of the Financial Department. Experience in construction, engineering, or manufacturing will be an advantage.

- Strategic Thinking: ability to see the big picture and connect numbers with business objectives;
- Communication: ability to explain complex financial concepts to the owner and heads of non-financial departments in an understandable language;
