Depending on experience, the successful candidate will join as either Chief Financial Officer or CFO-Designate, with a clearly defined path to the CFO role.
The Opportunity
As a key member of the executive leadership team, you'll partner directly with the CEO and President to shape BSI's long-term growth strategy while leading all aspects of finance, accounting, financial planning & analysis, treasury, project financial performance, banking relationships, bonding capacity, risk management, and financial operations.
This role is ideal for a strategic finance leader who enjoys balancing executive-level decision making with hands-on leadership in a growing organization.
What You'll Do
- Develop and execute the company's financial strategy to support rapid, profitable growth
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and long-range planning
- Build world-class FP&A capabilities and executive performance dashboards
- Improve project financial performance, margin forecasting, and cost-to-complete reporting
- Strengthen cash flow, working capital, banking relationships, and bonding capacity
- Oversee accounting, financial reporting, treasury, tax, payroll, and internal controls
- Modernize finance systems, ERP capabilities, and business intelligence reporting
- Evaluate acquisitions, strategic investments, and expansion opportunities
- Build and mentor a high-performing finance organization that scales with the business
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including significant responsibility in FP&A, corporate finance, controllership, investment banking, consulting, or strategic finance
- Demonstrated experience partnering with executive leadership to drive business performance
- Strong expertise in financial modeling, forecasting, cash management, and operational finance
- Proven ability to build scalable financial systems and processes
- MBA and/or CPA strongly preferred
Preferred Industry Experience
Experience in one or more of the following:
- Engineering or systems integration
- Construction or project-based businesses
- Government contracting
- Technology or software
- Professional services
Experience with project accounting, percentage-of-completion accounting, ERP implementation, banking relationships, surety bonding, M&A, or finance transformation is highly valued.
Why Join Birdi Systems?
This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a growing company with ambitious expansion plans. You'll work alongside an entrepreneurial executive team, influence company-wide strategy, and build the financial infrastructure needed to support growth from today's business into a significantly larger enterprise.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $230,000–$275,000
- Annual performance bonus (target approximately 30% of base salary)
- Long-term phantom equity participation
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, retirement, and executive benefits
