Responsibilities

• Financial Strategy & Planning: Develop and execute PSG's financial strategy in alignment with overall company goals; partner with the SVP, Finance and senior leadership to set financial plans, budgets, and forecasts.
• Financial Reporting & Analysis: Oversee the preparation and analysis of PSG financial reports — ensuring accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance — and provide the insight and recommendations that support key business decisions.
• Performance Management: Monitor financial performance against targets, identify financial risks and opportunities, lead corrective actions to improve results, and drive accountability throughout the organization using financial metrics.
• Business Advisor: Serve as a strategic advisor to operational leaders, influence key business decisions through financial analysis and commercial insight, and support operations on contract profitability, productivity initiatives, labor optimization, and cost management.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a strategic finance partner to PSG leadership and collaborate across functions to keep finance aligned with broader company objectives.
• Risk Management: Identify and assess financial risks and implement mitigations; ensure compliance with relevant financial regulations and reporting requirements.
• Leadership & Team Management: Lead and mentor the PSG finance team, drive professional development, and ensure the team is equipped to support the group's evolving needs.
• Financial Operations: Oversee day-to-day finance operations — accounting, billing, contract management, accounts payable, payroll, general administration, budgeting, and cash management — and continuously streamline and optimize financial processes.
• Client Care: Serve as a primary finance point of contact for key clients — participating in client onboarding, client meetings, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and supporting plans for at-risk clients. Assist in preparing QBRs, forecasts, and estimate-to-actual analyses to help clients manage their budgets effectively, and enable fast decision-making on time-sensitive client requests, including material client expenses.
• Pricing: Actively support pricing decisions, particularly on large RFPs, and help negotiate and present pricing to clients — adopting a firm or supportive stance as the negotiation requires.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA, MBA, or an equivalent professional qualification strongly preferred.
• Extensive, progressive finance leadership experience (typically 10+ years), including experience leading and developing a finance team at senior manager, director, or VP level.
• Proven track record as a senior finance business partner in a services, security, project-based, or otherwise client-driven business; direct experience supporting client-facing commercial activity (pricing, RFPs, QBRs) strongly preferred.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and a solid grasp of financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance (US GAAP; exposure to IFRS an advantage given the global scope).
• Demonstrated ownership of full-cycle finance operations, including billing, contract management, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and cash management.
• Experience operating within a multi-entity, international group and partnering effectively with a parent-company and shared-services structure is an advantage.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder-management, and executive-presence skills, with the confidence to engage senior leadership and high-profile clients directly.
• A high degree of discretion, sound judgment, and the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information.

Work Environment

• Hybrid role based in the Boca Raton, FL office, with a minimum of three (3) days per week on-site.
• Primarily an office-based, computer-intensive role.
• Regular exposure to sensitive and confidential client and company information.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities concurrently in a fast-paced environment, including around period-end close.
• Occasional travel and the flexibility to support client needs and to collaborate across international time zones as required.
• Undergo and meet company standards for background and reference checks, and drug tests if required.
