The Client helps mid-sized businesses run better through secure,
reliable technology. For 20+ years we’ve grown by doing the right
thing for clients and for our people. This role owns the
financial engine that lets us scale without losing the

* Own budgeting and forecasting: partner with sales, service, and
project leaders to produce an annual plan and quarterly
re-forecasts that track utilization, margin, and recurring
revenue.
* Strengthen billing, collections, and project-costing so DSO
improves and service/project margins are visible by client and
offering.
* Implement or tighten controls, revenue recognition (MSP
contracts, projects, hardware), and audit-ready processes that
scale with a 51–200 person private company.
* Provide clear financial insight in leadership meetings: flag
risks, quantify opportunities, and recommend actions that protect
culture and profitability.
* Mentor accounting staff and improve systems (QuickBooks or
similar, PSA/CRM integration) so the team spends less time on
firefighting and more time on analysis.
