Justin Norton, CPA, MAcc, is the Chief Financial Officer at Brekhus Tile & Stone, a Denver-based commercial and residential construction company specializing in high-quality tile and stone installations. Under his financial leadership, the company has strengthened operational discipline and driven meaningful process improvement. He is known for transforming complex accounting environments into scalable, efficient systems that support execution and growth. Justin brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and hands-on operational experience, honed in construction and other project-based businesses. In this episode… Change is accelerating rapidly, but most finance teams were designed for a slower, more predictable world. When volatility is the norm and expectations keep rising, what actually allows a finance organization to stay agile without breaking under pressure? For Justin Norton, the key lies in finance stepping out of its silo and into the real work of the business. Drawing from his experience as a hands-on finance operator, he explains that resilience comes from clean data, strong judgment, and deep trust with operations, not from building more reports.
