CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

We are seeking a CFO candidate to join a family-owned and operated lumberyard chain in Southern California. This company has a long-standing reputation for delivering white-glove service to contractors and homeowners. Most people see this company in the building materials industry as being best-in-class.

This position is opening up as the current CFO is taking a greater role in the operational activities of the business by moving to the COO role, allowing for a smooth transition for the incoming CFO. While this company is the oldest lumberyard in California, it continues to be dynamic by green fielding, acquiring, or significantly remodeling many of its stores in the last decade.

This is a position for an individual who wants a role in running his or her own business and will have a significant voice in our strategy going forward. We are looking for an individual who will work to make us a better operator, continue to make our customers more profitable in their business, and work to perpetuate the business for many years to come.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing, accounting/finance, billing, and accounts payable departments
• Cash management, investments, insurance, budgeting, tax, and financial reporting
• Coordinating the development of annual operating budgets
• Supporting acquisition/expansion efforts in the Southern California area – evaluating potential acquisitions (land, businesses, etc.), drafting purchase agreements, negotiating purchase prices, coordinating of certain construction efforts, etc.
• The company has an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) – managing the recording and reporting of the program
• Managing external audits (IRS, external financial statement audits and reviews, governmental audits/compliance) and inventory observation process at year-end
• Work directly with the COO and CEO
• Required travel is minimal as all of our locations are in Southern California from San Juan Capistrano in the South, Northridge to the North, and Corona to the East.
