Sumter Local Government Consulting is pleased to be assisting Orangeburg, SC, in conducting a recruitment for their next Chief Financial Officer. The City is seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This executive-level position is responsible for ensuring sound financial management, strategic fiscal planning, and effective leadership of the City's Finance Department. The City of Orangeburg employs approximately 175 employees across nine departments. The City maintains a total annual budget of approximately $27 million and is self-insured for health, dental, and vision coverage.
The CFO reports directly to the City Administrator and works closely with department heads, and external partners. The position oversees a complex municipal finance operation and plays a central role in aligning financial strategy with the City's policy priorities and development goals. The CFO leads a Finance Department responsible for financial reporting, budgeting, payroll, purchasing, revenue collection, debt management, and risk management, with a staff of approximately six employees. In addition to overseeing daily financial operations, the CFO will be a key strategic partner in advancing major capital initiatives, ensuring fiscal stewardship of transformative projects and supporting operational, infrastructure, and service needs.
The CFO plays a critical role in guiding the City through a period of transformative growth and investment, including major initiatives such as revitalization of the City's downtown, the Railroad Corner Development Project, the development of a new Civil Rights Museum, and the recent announcement of Ferrara Candy Company's $675 million manufacturing investment in Orangeburg County. These initiatives position Orangeburg as a hub for economic development, cultural preservation, and long-term financial sustainability. The successful candidate will be expected to address several key priorities for the City's next Chief Financial Officer, including evaluating the structure, staffing, and overall operational efficiency of the Finance Department and implementing recommended improvements; proactively managing cash flow, financial reserves, and day-to-day financial operations; leading the issuance and management of debt for current and future capital improvement projects; partnering with the City Administrator to develop and execute the City's annual operating budget; maintaining and strengthening the City's bond rating through sound financial management and disciplined fiscal practices; developing long-term financial strategies that support economic development and capital investment initiatives; and ensuring the City is financially prepared to support large-scale projects and public-private partnership opportunities.
