Chief Financial Officer

PE-Backed CFO | Commercial Construction Services

Finatal has been exclusively retained by a private equity-backed commercial construction services business to appoint its next Chief Financial Officer.

Based in Denver, the company has operated for more than 40 years and has built a strong reputation across commercial roofing and related building services. The business currently generates approximately $60 million in revenue and $10 million in EBITDA, with a strategic plan to scale toward $250 million through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions across the Rocky Mountain region and surrounding markets.

The CFO will partner closely with the President, COO, and private equity sponsor as a key member of the leadership team. This individual will professionalize financial reporting, build out the company’s FP&A capabilities, lead the ongoing implementation of Net Suite, and provide the financial leadership required to support profitable growth and M&A.

The incoming CFO will inherit an experienced accounting team and will be expected to introduce greater institutional rigor while preserving the collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that has contributed to the company’s long-term success.

This role is ideal for a hands-on CFO or accomplished #2 finance leader with project-based accounting experience who is comfortable operating close to the business and helping lead a significant growth strategy.
