We’re searching for a hands-on, strategic Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join a fast-growing, family-owned construction and contracting group at a pivotal stage in its journey.

The company has achieved exceptional growth in recent years, now generating revenues in the multi-tens of millions with a strong project pipeline and a clear path toward $100M in the near future.

  • Drive profitability and support strategic opportunities including acquisitions and new investments
  • Play a central role in shaping a new Family Office alongside ownership

What we’re looking for:

  • CFO or senior finance leader with experience in construction, contracting, or project-based industries
  • Strong knowledge of construction accounting (WIP, job costing, % of completion)
  • Proven track record in high-growth environments
  • Comfortable working directly with entrepreneurial owners
  • CPA, CMA, ACA, ACCA, or equivalent
  • Experience in family-owned businesses, Family Offices, acquisitions, or PE-backed environments is a strong plus.

What’s on offer:

  • A highly competitive executive package including base, bonus, long-term incentives, and comprehensive benefits.
