Finance Leadership for a Growing, Multi-Country Contractor
Reports to: CEO, with a dotted line to ownership
Partners closely with: COO
Direct Report: Controller, who owns the monthly close
Type / Location: Full-time, in-office — Davie, FL
Operations: United States, Canada, and The Caribbean
Compensation: $120,000–$200,000 base salary, plus annual performance bonus commensurate with performance and company results; long-term incentive available for the right leader
About the Role
We are a group of companies operating in development, construction, facility services, and logistics across the United States, Canada, and The Caribbean, with roughly $40M+ in combined annual revenue. We are hiring a CFO to own the finance function end to end and bring lasting order, discipline, and financial structure as we continue to grow.
This is a leadership seat. You will have a capable Controller who runs the day-to-day close, so your job is not to do the bookkeeping — it is to supervise it, raise the standard of it, and build the structure around it. You will set the close cadence, review and own the numbers, strengthen controls, and act as ownership’s trusted advisor on growth, risk, and capital.
You should still be close to the numbers and willing to get into the details when it matters. This is a lean environment, not a large corporate finance department. However, your value is in oversight, judgment, and building the function — not in personally keying the entries.
You are stepping into a finance function with room to be tightened. Controls, review discipline, and consolidated reporting all need to be strengthened as the business scales across borders. We see that clearly, and we want a leader who is energized by building structure where it has been missing.
What You’ll Own
- The full finance function: accounting, reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash management across all entities — delivered through and alongside the Controller.
- Oversight of the monthly and year-end close: reviewing, owning, and continuously improving a close process that the Controller runs.
- Multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation across U.S., Canadian, and Bahamian operations, including cross-border tax and compliance coordination.
- Construction and development accounting standards, including percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, WIP schedules, job costing, retainage, and project profitability.
- Controls and process discipline, including approval workflows, segregation of duties, expense controls, PO discipline, and moving the business toward audit-readiness.
- Treasury and banking relationships, including surety, bonding, and lender relationships specific to construction.
- Reporting to ownership, including financial statements, performance reporting, and the story behind the numbers.
- Strategic partnership with the CEO, COO, and ownership on growth, capital allocation, and risk.
The First Year, Concretely
- Take ownership of the close process your Controller runs — review it, stabilize it, and raise the standard of accuracy and timeliness.
- Stand up consistent, reliable consolidated reporting across the three countries.
- Put a defensible control environment in place, including workflows, approvals, segregation of duties, and audit-ready documentation.
- Develop the Controller and any supporting staff into a stronger, more dependable finance team.
- Become the financial sounding board ownership relies on for the next phase of growth.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven CFO or senior finance leadership experience, ideally in construction, development, real estate, facility services, logistics, or another project-based business.
- A leader who can supervise and elevate a finance team — coaching a Controller and raising the bar on close and reporting, not doing it all personally.
- Genuine command of construction and development accounting, including percentage-of-completion accounting, WIP, job costing, retainage, and bonding/surety.
- Multi-entity and multi-currency experience; U.S. and Canada experience required, with Bahamian or other cross-border experience a strong plus.
- A track record of strengthening controls, close discipline, and audit-readiness. Experience tightening a finance function after a controls gap is particularly valuable.
- Strong systems fluency, including ERP and construction software such as Sage, Viewpoint, Procore, or similar platforms, plus QuickBooks-level comfort for smaller entities.
- CPA and/or relevant credentials preferred; cross-border tax familiarity a plus.
- Comfortable in a lean environment — close enough to the detail to catch problems, senior enough to lead rather than execute.
Nice to Have
- Experience scaling finance for a growing mid-market contractor.
- Direct experience with cross-border tax structuring and transfer pricing.
- Experience supporting a business with construction, facility services, and logistics operations.
Why This Role
This is a true finance leadership seat with real ownership of the finance function, a capable Controller to build on, a direct line to ownership, and the authority to bring the controls, reporting, and discipline that a growing multi-country contractor needs.
For a finance leader who wants impact over hierarchy, this is a builder’s seat with the authority to match.
