CFO – Federal/Government Contracting | HighImpact Leadership Role

Our client is seeking a hands on, forward thinking Chief Financial Officer with proven experience in federal and government contracting within the construction industry. This is a high impact opportunity for a CFO who combines exceptional finance & accounting expertise with a deeply operational mindset to strengthen and scale a mid sized, mission driven private organization.

The ideal leader brings direct experience supporting design and build, general construction, and technical services organizations—specifically those operating in competitive federal contracting environments that include cost plus, fixed price, and multi site project execution.

As CFO, you will partner closely with the CEO to elevate financial performance across a multi LLC federal contracting structure, while leading a remote Finance & Accounting team and driving operational excellence across multiple divisions, including a major construction and civil works group. 

Location: Fully remote with travel to all business locations including Hawaii, Guam, and Alaska
About the Organization
Join a diversified organization that delivers construction, infrastructure, environmental, restoration, fuel systems, and professional services to federal and commercial clients nationwide. With a portfolio of operating companies supporting complex projects across multiple markets, the organization has built a strong reputation for quality, innovation, safety, and operational excellence.
This is an opportunity to join an long serving executive team focused on driving sustainable growth, improving performance, and creating long-term value. The organization offers the scale and resources of an established enterprise while maintaining an entrepreneurial environment where leaders can make a meaningful impact on strategy, operations, and future success.

Other General Information
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a key member of the executive leadership team responsible for leading the organization's strategy, planning, reporting, risk management, and overall financial performance. Their Corporate headquarters is responsible for all investor relations, acquisitions, taxes, etc., therefore experience in these areas are not needed for this role. The CFO will partner closely with executive leadership and subsidiary leaders to drive profitability, support business growth, optimize operations, and ensure strong financial governance across a complex portfolio of businesses.
This role requires a strategic yet hands-on finance executive with deep expertise in federal construction bid processes and government contracting environments. The ideal candidate will bring a proven ability in federal contracting, aligning financial strategy with operational objectives, improve business performance, lead high-performing teams, and support scalable growth in a dynamic, multi-entity organization.

You may be a Senior Controller currently looking for the next step in your career or a CFO looking to be responsible for a larger operation and be more involved in the business and the decision-making processes. You really enjoy the construction bidding environment for government and commercial opportunities for general contractors and the accounting/auditing thereof of processes surrounding this activity and positive outcomes.   Ideal Background
