Chief Financial Officer

A privately held residential real estate development platform in Central Texas is seeking a strategic, capital-markets-oriented Chief Financial Officer to join its executive leadership team.

This is not a traditional back-office accounting role. The business is looking for a finance executive with deep experience in land acquisition, development underwriting, and capital structuring who can help scale a residential platform through disciplined growth and structured financial strategy.

The CFO will work directly with ownership to support expansion, optimize capital deployment, and structure profitable development opportunities.

• Partner with ownership to shape long-term growth strategy
• Lead company-wide financial planning and capital allocation
• Provide executive-level insight on expansion, risk exposure, and return metrics
• Support strategic decision-making across acquisitions, development, and operations

• Lead underwriting and financial modeling for land and development transactions
• Evaluate due diligence risks, entitlement timelines, and absorption assumptions
• Structure acquisition and development transactions
• Collaborate with internal teams to optimize deal performance and capital efficiency

• Structure and negotiate debt facilities (A&D loans, revolvers, project financing)
• Develop and manage banking and capital partner relationships
• Lead equity raises or structured capital solutions as required
• Optimize capital stack strategies to enhance IRR and ROE

• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A functions
• Manage project-level cash flow planning
• Implement financial controls and reporting systems
• Deliver board-level reporting and performance analysis

• 10+ years of senior finance experience within residential real estate, development, or construction-oriented investment platforms
• Strong background in underwriting and deal structuring
• Experience negotiating and raising debt and/or equity capital
• Deep understanding of land risk, development cycles, and capital deployment
• CPA, MBA, or Real Estate Finance background preferred
• Strategic thinker with hands-on execution capability

• A deal-oriented CFO, not purely a controller
• A leader comfortable negotiating with lenders, banks, and capital partners
• Someone who understands land risk, capital velocity, and development margins
• An executive capable of scaling financial systems alongside company growth
