LOCATION: United States

LOCATION TYPE: Remote

POSITION SUMMARY

Salute is seeking a Business Finance and Governance Director to join our Americas Business Finance team. This senior leader will partner with the business on budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and decision support — while also serving as the team's governance lead, incubating new accounts and acquisitions, and supporting strategic projects across the region. The role operates as a peer to our Divisional Finance Director and Finance Director, with the added mandate of standing up financial operations for new accounts and transitioning them to steady-state ownership.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Business Finance Partnership

• Partner with business unit and account leaders on budgeting, forecasting, monthly reporting, and forward-looking insights.
• Lead variance analysis, monthly business reviews, QBRs, and Global Account Review financial content.
• Own month-end close deliverables including accruals, revenue recognition, and project-level reconciliations.

Governance & Controls

• Design and maintain the Business Finance governance framework — SOPs, RACI, approval thresholds, and audit-readiness standards.
• Standardize templates and controls for forecasting, billing, AR/AP, contract compliance, and revenue recognition.
• Serve as the Business Finance point of contact for internal and external audit requests.

New Account Set-Up & Transition

• Lead financial onboarding for newly won accounts and acquired entities — operating model, reporting cadence, billing, and system set-up (Salesforce, Sage Intacct, Smartsheet).
• Incubate new accounts for 60–120 days, then transition to the appropriate Finance Director and Account Coordinators with a clean handoff package and documented SOPs.
• Partner with Legal, Commercial, and Operations on contract reviews to operationalize financial terms from day one.

Projects, Initiatives & Acquisitions

• Represent Americas Business Finance on ERP integration (Sage Intacct, Deltek Vantagepoint, Ajera), revenue recognition policy, and automation initiatives.
• Lead financial diligence support and planning for acquisitions.
• Drive process improvement and automation across Salesforce, Intacct, Smartsheet, and Power Query.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; CPA, CMA, or MBA a plus.
• 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including 5+ years in business finance, FP&A, or divisional finance leadership.
• Proven experience standing up finance operations for new accounts, business units, or acquired entities.
• Strong governance, internal controls, and audit-readiness background in a private-equity-backed or high-growth environment.
• Hands-on experience with ERP (Sage Intacct, Deltek Vantagepoint, or Ajera) and Salesforce.
• M&A integration experience and process automation skills (Power Query, Power BI, Smartsheet) preferred.
• Industry experience in data centers, facilities management, or project-based services a plus.
