Position Overview

Momentum Accounting is building a specialized Restoration Industry Advisory vertical focused on helping restoration businesses improve profitability, financial clarity, and operational performance.

We are seeking a Restoration Profitability Consultant with strong small business ($1m-$15m revenue) accounting manager, controller or “CFO lite” experience to work directly alongside our CEO to build and scale our advisory services in the restoration industry. This individual will combine deep accounting expertise with client-facing advisory, systems optimization, and financial leadership.

This is not a traditional controller role. It is a structured path into high-level advisory leadership within a niche industry vertical.

This is a hybrid of:

• Accounting processes and financial reporting ownership
• Profit and cash flow-focused advisory
• Forecasting and budgeting 
• Systems and workflow optimization
• Client education and leadership
• Hands-on controller oversight first, then moving up to full advisory

The right candidate will grow into an advisory role within the restoration vertical and eventually lead client relationships independently.

Why This Role Is Unique

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Work directly with the CEO and 3rd party industry consultant/expert 
• Lead meaningful financial conversations with business owners
• Build and refine a structured restoration advisory framework
• Host monthly profit meetings focused on margins, KPIs, and cash flow
• Standardize accounting systems across multiple clients
• Train both internal team members and client side staff
• Attend 1–2 industry conferences per year
• Participate in online mastermind groups and restoration-industry learning environments (attend weekly Zoom meetings with restoration CEOs) 
• Help scale a high-growth niche advisory vertical, aligning our services with their unique needs

If you want to move beyond closing books and into strategic advisory, this is that opportunity.
