Original job description

Chief Financial Officer

Hamilton, Ontario

The Role

Lancaster Group is a growing multi-trade construction company is seeking an experienced Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to provide strong financial leadership, strengthen financial controls and reporting, and support the continued growth of the organization.

Reporting directly to the President and ownership group, the CFO will be a key member of the senior leadership team, acting as a trusted financial partner to the President and the business.

This role requires more than strong technical financial expertise.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in a multi-trade, unionized construction environment and understand the financial complexities associated with project-based work, multiple trades, collective agreements, labour costing, job costing, and project profitability.

The organization is currently transitioning from Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate (Timberline) to Maestro ERP. The CFO will play an important role in supporting the financial side of this transition and ensuring strong financial processes, controls, reporting and data integrity within the new system. The CFO will also follow through with a new structured bonus plan initiative and set budgets within the organization.

Work collaboratively with project managers and operational leaders to strengthen forecasting, cost control and financial accountability
Ensure accurate and timely job costing and financial reporting across projects
Analyze project performance and identify financial risks, cost overruns and margin opportunities

Multi Trade and Union Financial Management

Understand the financial complexities of operating across multiple construction trades
Understand labour costing, labour burden, union-related costs and their impact on project profitability
Support accurate costing and financial administration in an environment involving multiple collective agreements and labour structures
Work effectively with finance, project management and operations to ensure labour costs are appropriately captured, allocated and reported
Understand how varying trade and labour requirements affect estimating, forecasting, job costing and project financial performance

ERP and Process Improvement

Ensure appropriate financial controls, processes and reporting are established within the ERP
Support data integrity and accurate financial reporting throughout the transition
