CFO/COO

Baltimore, MD

$185k-$225k

Chesapeake Search Partners is working with a respected, family‑owned construction services company in the Baltimore area to hire a hands‑on CFO who will be a true partner to ownership. This $50M, profitable business needs someone who can own the finance function, bring clarity and discipline to accounting, and help guide strategy, bids, and long‑term growth. It’s a rare chance to step into a seat at the table, modernize how finance runs, and work directly with owners who value judgment, integrity, and straight talk in a no‑nonsense, down‑to‑earth culture.

  • Serve as the company’s senior financial leader and trusted advisor to ownership
  • Oversee and directly manage project‑based accounting, including WIP, cost‑to‑complete, unit pricing, and margin analysis
  • Review and sign off on all significant bids and contracts
  • Establish and enhance accounting policies, controls, and reporting cadence
  • Translate financial data into clear guidance for project managers and operators
  • Hands‑on CFO or a senior controller ready for a true CFO role
  • Leader with construction, government contracting, or project‑based industry experience
  • Professional from a $30M–$100M privately held business (or equivalent division)
  • CFO who has personally owned accounting, not just overseen it
