Job Location: Remote in TN/VA or PA FLSA Status: Exempt About: AIR Control Concepts, LLC. is a global platform of premier HVAC, electrical, & controls organizations operating across North America - now expanding into Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Each company within the AIR family maintains its local culture and customer relationships, while gaining access to shared resources, advanced technology, strategic capital, and operational expertise. Website: AIR Control Concepts | HVAC Partnerships, Growth & Support Across North America Description: The Regional FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) Leader plays a critical role in shaping the financial visibility and performance management framework for one or more regions within AIR Control Concepts, a multi-billion-dollar national platform comprising 50+ operating companies. This role is both strategic and foundational: it not only supports ongoing reporting, forecasting, KPI analysis, and planning cycles, but also plays a leading role in building, standardizing, and maturing the FP&A function across regions. Because much of the FP&A infrastructure is new or evolving, the Regional FP&A Leader will help define the structure, tools, cadence, models, and standardized reporting packages that will ultimately span the entire platform. This individual partners with the field, operations, accounting, and corporate leadership to provide insight-driven analysis and ensure that financial and operational performance is clearly understood, consistent across regions, and connected to decision-making and planning. Essential Duties & Responsibilities: Regional Reporting & Analysis (Multi-Region Support): - Prepare and consolidate monthly, quarterly, and annual regional reporting packages across one or more regions. - Deliver analysis of P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow results under US GAAP (and IFRS where applicable). - Develop clear performance narratives with insight into drivers, trends, and variances. - Build reporting consistency across regions—standard templates, KPIs, definitions, and review cadence. Budgeting, Forecasting, & Long-Range Planning: - Lead the annual budget cycle for all assigned regions. - Own monthly and quarterly forecast updates, ensuring assumptions are vetted and aligned across regions. - Build scalable, region-focused forecasting models that can be reused and adapted as the platform grows. - Partner with operating leaders to strengthen forecasting accuracy and accountability. 13-Week Cash Flow Forecasting: - Prepare and maintain 13-week cash forecasts for multiple entities and multiple regions. - Identify liquidity risks, timing challenges, and working capital needs. - Coordinate with Treasury, RFCs, and RFLs to ensure accurate cash forecasting inputs. KPI Tracking, Insights, & Performance Management: - Develop and maintain KPI dashboards across all assigned regions—revenue, margins, labor, overhead, cash, DSO, DPO, job mix, etc. - Analyze operational and financial drivers to identify actionable trends. - Support RFLs and regional leadership teams with insight that informs pricing, labor decisions, operational planning, and financial priorities. - Standardize KPI definitions and reporting across all regions. Business Partnering Across Finance & Operations: - Act as a strategic finance partner to Regional Finance Leaders and regional operations teams. - Support leaders in understanding financial results, drivers, and improvement opportunities. - Build strong working relationships with Corporate FP&A, Corporate Accounting, and regional controllers. - Communicate complex financial information in a clear, non-technical way to operational leaders. Sales Operations & Variable Compensation: - Provide insights into sales productivity, pricing trends, hit rates, and revenue mix. - Contribute to designing and refining standardized sales compensation models across regions as the platform matures. Integrating Newly Acquired Companies: - Bring acquired companies into the FP&A ecosystem by: - establishing reporting formats & review packages - onboarding them into forecasting & budgeting processes - aligning KPIs & performance metrics - helping them adopt standardized FP&A tools and cadence - Identify early performance opportunities and integration challenges. Standardization, Process Buildout, & Continuous Improvement: Because FP&A is still being built across the platform, this role includes: - Establishing standard templates, processes, and reporting structures for all regions. - Creating scalable models, KPI dashboards, and automated workflows. - Improving data quality, structures, and visibility across systems and teams. - Driving Finance Transformation workstreams related to reporting, analytics, forecasting, and planning. - Supporting systems implementation, tool selection, and future-state integration. - Identifying operational and financial improvement opportunities. - Completing ad hoc projects, analyses, and strategic initiatives. Experience & Requirements: - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field. - 8+ years of FP&A, financial reporting, or analytical experience, ideally in multi-entity or operational settings. - Strong understanding of GAAP fundamentals; IFRS exposure a plus. - Experience supporting budgeting, forecasting, KPI reporting, and cash flow modeling. - Expertise building financial models and dashboards (Excel required; BI/Consolidation tools a plus). - Experience in multi-region, multi-entity, or acquisitive environments strongly preferred. - Ability to navigate ambiguity and build structure where structure does not yet exist. - Excellent communication skills—able to work with both accounting teams and field/operational leaders. - Experience supporting sales incentive compensation programs strongly preferred. Benefits: We offer a competitive and comprehensive benefits package, including: - Health & Wellness – Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage to support your well-being. - Financial Security – 401(k) retirement plan with company match and short/long-term disability coverage. - Work-Life Balance – Paid time off (PTO), paid holidays, and an employee assistance program (EAP). - Professional Development – Ongoing training opportunities and support for continuing education.
