Chief Financial Officer; CFO

Description

SEG and AIAEC are growing companies moving from small to mid-sized, with a clear path to becoming large, multi-country organizations. SEG is an architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firm with project-based revenue; AIAEC is an AI technology company serving the AEC industry, with revenue driven by product sales. Our finance function is still maturing across both, and we’re not a polished, fully built-out machine.

We need a CFO who sees that as an opportunity: someone who will roll up their sleeves, lead meaningful process change, help select and implement the right finance software, and help us design the policies, procedures, and tools that let both companies scale well. This is a builder’s role. You’ll be both strategic partner to the executive team and the person who makes the finance function work as we grow.

We’re currently evaluating finance and accounting systems, and our next CFO will have a real voice in choosing and implementing them.

• Assess our current financial systems, workflows, and controls across both companies, and develop a prioritized roadmap for improvement
• Lead the evaluation, selection, and implementation of our financial and accounting software, including project cost accounting for SEG and product sales, billing, and revenue reporting for AIAEC.

• Introduce right-sized solutions that fit our current stage and add structure as we grow, rather than imposing overly heavy processes
• Lead change management and communicate clearly with employees at all levels about what’s changing and why
• Build reporting, dashboards, and close processes that give leadership reliable, timely information for each company

• Develop and execute the overall financial strategy for SEG and AIAEC, aligned with corporate growth objectives across all domestic and international markets
• Provide executive leadership and the board with timely, accurate financial reporting and forward-looking analysis for each company and on a combined basis
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and long-range financial planning across all business units and geographies
• Design, implement, and maintain internal controls, financial policies, and compliance frameworks across all entities
• Manage relationships with banks, auditors, bonding companies, and insurance providers

• Lead end-to-end M&A activity including target identification, financial due diligence, valuation modeling, deal structuring, and post-acquisition integration
• Evaluate acquisition targets within the AEC and AEC-technology space for financial health, cultural fit, geographic reach, and strategic alignment
• Build and maintain relationships with investment banks, private equity firms, legal counsel, and deal advisors
• Develop integration financial plans, including systems and process integration, to ensure seamless consolidation of acquired entities into the existing structure

• Oversee financial operations across the international portfolio of entities for both companies, including AIAEC’s Canadian entity, ensuring compliance with local tax laws, regulatory…
