Build the Future of Birdi Systems

Birdi Systems, Inc. (BSI) is an award-winning systems engineering, systems integration, software development, and technology services company delivering mission-critical solutions for airports, transportation agencies, federal agencies, and other complex public-sector clients.

With approximately $50 million in annual revenue and an aggressive growth strategy targeting 30% annual growth, we're investing in the leadership needed to scale into a significantly larger, technology-driven enterprise. We're seeking an accomplished finance executive who wants to help build—not simply manage—the financial foundation of a high-growth company.

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
Potential sign-on or make-whole compensation for qualified candidates

If you're a strategic finance leader excited by the opportunity to build, scale, and create long-term enterprise value, we'd love to hear from you.
