Chief Financial Officer

B.Riley Farber is partnering with a highly successful, owner operated, real estate company, in their search for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

This business is built on family values, inclusivity, and teamwork. Through a true understanding of collaboration, everyone is encouraged to use their voice, and everyone’s actions and decisions have an impact on the success of the business.

This position reports directly to the President and owner.

Over the years our clients’ operations have diversified, allowing them to keep a handle on all stages of the property development, construction and management process.

Coming from a property management background, they have naturally evolved into other areas which empowers them to the control quality and ultimate success of the project.

This diversification of offerings has safeguarded them from challenging market conditions, providing them with a solid footing to grow and evolve from when the time is right.

That time is now - this company is set to double in size over the next few years.

Reporting directly to the President, the CFO will operate from a vantage point required to ensure that the varying operating divisions are working cohesively and effectively.

Although providing a strategic outlook, this role will still require a player-coach mentality. The CFO will develop and mentor a growing team and ensure they have the ability and capacity to excel as the company grows.
