Our approach

Financial leadership grounded in construction

We recruit Chief Financial Officers and senior finance leaders for general contractors, developers and specialty construction companies. Search criteria clarify reporting lines, decision authority, financial team structure and the business outcomes the executive will own.

Our approach

Project economics and financial controls

Candidate discussions explore job cost visibility, cash flow, forecasting, work in progress, bonding relationships, risk controls and collaboration with operations. We distinguish construction finance experience from general corporate finance and match the person's experience to the employer's project portfolio.

Our approach

Direct outreach and location expectations

We use direct outreach and our construction network to speak with finance leaders, including people who are not actively applying. We consider local candidates and candidates willing to travel 100% when the role requires it, confirming location and travel expectations before introductions.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What construction CFO searches do you handle?

We recruit CFOs and related senior finance executives for contractors, developers and specialty construction businesses. The search starts by defining ownership, company structure, project mix and the executive's authority.

How do you assess construction finance experience?

We discuss project financial reporting, cash flow, job cost practices, forecasting, controls and partnership with operations. Relevant experience depends on the employer's size, delivery model and portfolio.

Can you approach CFO candidates who are not job searching?

Yes. Direct outreach and our construction network let us have discreet conversations with both active and passive candidates. We respect candidate confidentiality during the process.

Do you recruit local and traveling finance leaders?

Yes. We consider local candidates and people willing to travel 100% for work where required. We confirm the location, travel requirements and reporting relationships before an introduction.

How it works

How we fill your job.

Four steps, run by Ivan or a senior teammate.

01

Tell us who you need

We talk through the job, the projects, location, pay and why someone good would want it.

02

We find and speak with candidates

We call people with the right experience, including many who are not applying for jobs.

03

You meet the strongest matches

You get a short list with notes on each person. We set up interviews and share feedback.

04

We help you complete the hire

We help with the offer, counteroffers, notice and start date.

Relocation and travel

Location is part of the search.

We look locally first and discuss whether relocation or travel makes sense. A traveling superintendent's rotation, a PM's family move and a local commute are different decisions. We cover relocation help, per diem and timing before you meet anyone, not at the offer.

Placement protection

Candidate replacement guarantee

How long is the candidate replacement guarantee?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
