About the role

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
About the Company: Private, family-owned construction services company with a national footprint and long-term expansion plans IndustryConstructionTypePrivately HeldAbout the RoleThe Company is seeking a Chief Financial Officer to serve as its senior finance leader and trusted partner to ownership. This hands-on role combines strategic financial leadership with direct responsibility for accounting operations, including monthly close, financial statements, job-cost reporting, and project-based accounting. The CFO will review significant bids and contracts, strengthen policies and controls, improve reporting, and translate financial results into practical guidance for project and operations teams. Responsibilities also include developing the accounting function, improving accountability, and supporting growth and capital-allocation decisions. Candidates should have substantial finance or accounting leadership experience, ideally as a hands-on CFO or senior controller ready to step into a CFO role. Experience in construction, government contracting, or another project-based industry is strongly preferred, along with familiarity with project accounting, work in progress, cost-to-complete, pricing, and margin analysis. The ideal candidate has worked in a privately held business of comparable scale and has personally owned accounting responsibilities, not only overseen them. Strong judgment, integrity, communication, and the ability to move between detailed financial work and strategic discussions are essential. Functions Finance

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
