Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFO / COO)

Location : [Confidential – Midwest U.S.]

Search Conducted By : Pathway Talent Partners

$200,000 - $250,000 + target bonus

Position Overview

Pathway Talent Partners has been retained by a leading construction and contracting firm to identify an accomplished Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFO / COO) to oversee the organization’s financial, administrative, and operational functions.

This is a pivotal, hands‑on leadership opportunity for an executive who can drive change, strengthen processes, and align finance and field operations to support long‑term growth. The ideal candidate will bring both strategic financial insight and operational execution capability, enabling scalable systems, streamlined reporting, and improved communication across all departments.

This position is designed for a decisive, people‑oriented leader who thrives in a fast‑paced, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves environment rather than a corporate bureaucracy.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Financial Leadership

  • Lead all aspects of accounting, finance, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management.
  • Deliver accurate and timely financial reporting and actionable insights for leadership.
  • Oversee bid-versus-actual reporting and financial performance tracking for multiple divisions.
  • Revamp accounts receivable processes and streamline invoicing, billing, and payables.
  • Identify and implement improvements in financial systems, reporting, and efficiency.
  • Support evaluation of strategic growth opportunities, including acquisitions or partnerships.

Operational Oversight & Accountability

  • Implement organizational changes to enhance accountability and performance across divisions.
  • Strengthen coordination between accounting, project management, and field operations.
  • Review and improve processes related to field hiring, training, and safety documentation.
  • Redesign accounting workflows and responsibilities for greater efficiency and scalability.
  • Establish clear communication and feedback loops between operations and finance teams.

    • Technology & Process Optimization

  • Leverage ERP platforms (e.g., Sage, CoPilot 365) to improve reporting and operational visibility.
  • Integrate technology and AI tools to enhance forecasting, reporting, and data‑driven decision‑making.
  • Create dynamic job‑level reporting and analytics for multiple business units.
  • Continuously review systems and workflows to identify opportunities for automation and simplification.

    • Leadership & Team Development

  • Partner with the Controller to restructure accounting operations for sustainable growth.
  • Mentor and develop accounting and administrative staff, fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration.
  • Lead hiring efforts for key financial and administrative roles.
  • Oversee training and development programs to ensure operational excellence and compliance.

    • Executive Collaboration

  • Partner closely with the CEO and executive leadership team to drive company‑wide initiatives.
  • Provide strategic counsel on financial planning, operational priorities, and performance metrics.
  • Lead implementation of process improvements and organizational initiatives as directed by leadership.

    • Qualifications

  • Proven experience as a CFO, COO, or senior financial leader in construction, contracting, or a related industry.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead both financial and operational functions in a multi‑division environment.
  • Expertise in ERP systems (Sage, CoPilot 365, or similar) and strong knowledge of job costing and project‑based financials.
  • Track record of driving organizational change, optimizing processes, and building accountable teams.
  • Hands‑on, collaborative leadership style with excellent communication skills.
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to translate vision into actionable results.

    • About the Opportunity

    This role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on a growing construction organization by bringing structure, technology, and strategic leadership to both its financial and operational functions. The successful candidate will help shape the next phase of growth, ensuring the company’s systems and teams are positioned for long‑term success.
