JOB DESCRIPTIONProject Finance Lead (Construction)

Baker Flooring | Northern California

We are hiring a cash flow operator.

Baker Flooring is a growing construction company doing ~$10M in annual revenue. We are looking for someone to step in as the senior-most finance function and take ownership of how money moves through the business.

This is not a back-office role.
You will directly impact cash flow, project execution, and the company’s ability to scale.

What You Will OwnBilling & Collections (Primary)

• Own all project billing cycles (progress billing, T&M, milestones)
• Prepare and submit AIA billing (G702 / G703)
• Manage retention and contract billing requirements
• Drive collections with GCs, owners, and clients
• Own AR aging and actively reduce outstanding balances

Cash Flow & Financial Operations

• Build and maintain a weekly and monthly cash flow forecast
• Create structure around billing timelines and collections cadence
• Identify gaps in how money is moving and fix them
• Ensure billing goes out on time, every time

Project Financial Control

• Partner with PMs on budget vs actual tracking
• Monitor cost to complete and flag risks early
• Align change orders with billing and cash recovery
• Bring financial discipline into project execution

AP & Compliance (Secondary)

• Process and validate vendor invoices tied to job cost
• Align payments with project cash flow
• Manage lien waivers and compliance documentation

What Good Looks Like

• Billing is consistent and predictable
• Collections are proactive, not reactive
• AR aging is controlled and improving
• PMs are aligned with financial discipline
• Leadership has clear visibility into cash

What You Bring

• 6–10+ years in construction or project accounting
• Strong experience with AIA billing, retention, and collections
• Experience working with contractors or specialty trades
• Systems experience (Sage, Viewpoint, Procore or similar)
• Ability to push internally and externally to get results

What Separates Top Candidates

• You have built or cleaned up financial systems, not just maintained them
• You understand how cash actually moves in construction
• You are comfortable holding PMs and clients accountable
• You prefer fast-moving environments over perfect ones

Compensation

• $110K – $125K base
• Discretionary Performance bonus tied to billing execution and collections
• Medical and Dental Benefits

Why This Role

This role operates as the senior-most finance function in the company today.

If you want to:

• Own outcomes instead of tasks
• Build structure, not just follow it
• Be directly tied to company growth

This is that opportunity.
