WHY YOU WANT THIS OPPORTUNITY

Are you ready to work side by side with a CEO and executive team, bringing the financial leadership that protects a construction company’s future and helps employees build wealth?

This opportunity places you in the highest financial role within a construction management firm specializing in commercial, hospitality, and public facilities. You will combine strategic judgment with hands-on financial stewardship, strengthen company controls, and help advance an employee ownership strategy through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Compensation includes a salary commensurate with experience and executive-level benefits.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

• Lead the company’s full financial and accounting functions.
• Partner with the CEO and executive team on financial strategy, stewardship, and controls.
• Oversee construction financial reporting, including accurate and timely work-in-progress (WIP) reports.
• Manage bonding requirements and contract financial reviews.
• Help develop and execute succession and employee ownership strategies.
• Lead, train, and develop the accounting and finance team.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

• Experience overseeing full financial and accounting responsibilities for a commercial general contractor with $50M+ in annual construction volume, including both private and public work.
• Active participation in developing a company-wide succession strategy that transitioned ownership to employees through an ESOP.
• Strong command of construction financials, WIP reporting, bonding requirements, and contract financial reviews.
• Experience managing a department and developing its people.
• A hands-on approach, positive attitude, and clear communication with both financial and nonfinancial leaders.
• A track record of progressing from Construction Controller to CFO is preferred.
• A CPA license is a plus, but is not required.

THIS IS FOR THE CFO WHO…

• Sees financial stewardship as a responsibility to the company and its people.
• Anticipates financial exposure and brings practical recommendations to the executive team.
• Connects project performance with company-wide financial decisions.
• Values the opportunity to build a lasting legacy through employee ownership.
• Leads strategically while staying close enough to the details to ensure accuracy and accountability.
