The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) position in the construction industry is tailored for a seasoned finance leader who has previously managed an organization with annual revenues between $500 million and $1 billion. This role involves collaborating closely with the CEO, President, and Executive Board to drive strategic growth objectives. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and capable of leading and mentoring a large finance and accounting team. A core responsibility of the CFO will be to work in tandem with senior leadership to pursue key strategic goals, with a particular emphasis on growth through both organic methods and M&A activities.
The CFO will be tasked with a wide range of critical functions, including strategic planning, acquisitions, and organizational design to achieve growth targets and performance metrics. Building a robust finance infrastructure to accommodate over $1 billion in projected annual revenue is a key aspect of the job. This includes oversight of accounting, treasury, budgeting, and reporting functions, as well as enhancing margin predictability and cost control. The CFO will also implement advanced systems for job costing, work-in-progress (WIP), and cash forecasting. Managing risks and maintaining compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and tax regulations will also be among the CFOs responsibilities, along with fostering crucial relationships with banks, insurers, vendors, and various stakeholders.
For this role, the client seeks an applicant with 15-20+ years of progressive finance leadership experience in the construction sector, and at least 5-10 years in CFO or finance executive positions. A Master's degree or CPA is highly preferred, with a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration required. While experience in M&A is advantageous, a strong track record in developing finance and accounting talent is crucial. The compensation package includes a base salary ranging from $325,000 to $400,000, along with performance-based bonuses, comprehensive executive-level benefits, and full relocation assistance. This opportunity offers the chance to work for a leading construction company in the U.S., with ample support for career advancement and professional growth.
