Funky Painting is building toward a goal of $21 million by 2028. We are not looking for someone to maintain a small, tidy accounting function. We are looking for someone to build the financial operating system that gives us real-time visibility into job profitability, margin leaks, marketing ROI, and hiring readiness.
We are in a scaling stage where revenue is growing, complexity is increasing, and financial clarity must catch up fast. If you need a polished corporate environment, a perfect ERP, or highly structured handoffs before you can perform, this is not the role for you. If you know how to build systems inside a growing home services business and turn messy inputs into usable truth, keep reading.
Role Mission:Build and own the financial reporting and job-costing system that gives Funky Painting clear, real-time visibility into:
- job profitability
- gross profit by job status
- gross profit by crew, PM, and sales rep
- margin leaks and why they are happening
- marketing channel profitability
- seasonal cash needs
- hiring readiness and financial decision-making
This role is for a builder, not just a controller.
What You Will Own:
- Build an accurate job-costing system tied to real-time job status
- Create a single source of truth across QuickBooks, Monday.com, Gusto, and key spreadsheets
- Build and maintain weekly KPI dashboards
- Deliver monthly financial reporting with clear, decision-ready insights
- Identify where margin is being lost and recommend corrective action
- Build a 13-week cash flow forecast and ongoing financial forecast
- Help leadership understand which jobs, channels, crews, PMs, and sales reps are most profitable
- Define data hygiene rules and reporting standards across the business
- Enforce reporting deadlines and accountability tied to the system
- Support better decisions across sales, production, hiring, and capacity planning
What Success Looks Like in the First 30 Days:
- Build a first-pass real-time job-costing view by active job status

- Forecasting is reliable enough to support hiring and growth decisions
- Leadership is no longer dependent on the owner as the bottleneck for financial truth
Weekly Reporting Expectations:
