full-time The Opportunity Our client is seeking a Chief Financial Officer to lead the financial function of a growing, multi-state design-build general contractor. Reporting to the President and working closely with the executive leadership team, the CFO will own financial strategy, construction accounting, multi-state tax and compliance, banking and bonding relationships, and financial reporting across all three offices. This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced construction finance executive who is comfortable operating close to the business in a company of a similar size, while building the infrastructure to support continued multi-state growth. Key Responsibilities Own overall financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow / working capital management across all three offices and 35-state project footprint. Manage banking relationships, credit facilities, and surety/bonding capacity - a critical lever for a growing general contractor bidding larger and more numerous projects. Oversee construction accounting operations, including job costing, percentage-of-completion (WIP) reporting, project profitability analysis, billing/change order management, and subcontractor payment and retainage processes. Direct multi-state compliance - business licensing, and state income, sales/use, and payroll tax obligations across 35-state operating footprint - partnering with outside tax advisors as needed. Own the finance systems stack, including Procore and Sage Timberline (Sage 300 CRE), and drive tighter integration between project management and accounting data. Lead, develop, and scale the accounting and finance team; manage annual audit/review engagements and lender/bonding-covenant compliance. Prepare financial reporting and analysis for ownership and the executive team, including support for the annual profit-share bonus calculation. Partner with the President and leadership team on strategic planning, pricing/risk decisions, and evaluation of future growth opportunities. Provide oversight of the HR and IT functions, ensuring policies, systems, and internal controls scale appropriately with the company's multi-state workforce (nice to have, not required). What We're Looking For Progressive accounting/finance leadership experience with meaningful time as a Controller, VP of Finance, or CFO within construction or general contracting - required. Multi-state operating experience, with working knowledge of business licensing requirements and the state tax implications of operating across many jurisdictions - required. Hands-on experience with Procore and Sage Timberline (Sage 300 CRE). Candidates strong in one system and open to training on the other will be considered.

Strong command of construction-specific accounting:

job costing, percentage-of-completion (WIP) reporting, and project-level profitability analysis. Experience managing banking, lending, and bonding/surety relationships in a contracting environment. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA a plus. Prior oversight of HR and/or IT functions is a plus, but not required. A hands-on, collaborative leadership style suited to a close-knit, 55-60 person organization with a growing multi-state footprint. Compensation & What The Role Offers Base salary of $200,000 - $250,000, commensurate with experience. Annual bonus of 5-10% tied to company profit share. A seat at the leadership table of a specialized, growing design-build general contractor with a strong reputation in the food and beverage sector. Direct partnership with the President and executive team in shaping the company's financial strategy and continued multi-state growth.
