Job Description - Controller Future CFO (3-Year Track)

Build Something That Lasts
At Bulldog Group, we don’t hire placeholders. We hire builders.

We’re looking for a Controller who wants to grow into our next CFO — not someday in theory, but through a deliberate, real succession plan over approximately three years.

If you want to own outcomes, influence company direction, and help scale a group of high-performing commercial contracting companies, keep reading.

Who We Are
Bulldog Group is a family of commonly owned commercial contracting companies built on grit, accountability, and results. We believe great companies are built by leaders who stay close to the work, solve real problems, and take pride in doing things the right way.

We are growing, evolving, and continuously improving how we operate — and our finance leadership plays a critical role in that evolution.

This is not a plug-and-play finance environment.

This is a build, improve, and lead environment.

Why This Role Exists
Our current CFO is planning a thoughtful retirement transition. Instead of replacing that leadership overnight, we’re investing in developing the right successor.

You’ll work directly alongside our CFO, ownership, and operational leadership to learn the business from the inside out — financially, operationally, and strategically.

We’re not looking for someone who wants to “hold the seat.”

We’re looking for someone who wants to earn it, shape it, and grow into it.

The Role: Working Leader
You will lead accounting and financial operations across multiple entities — but this is not a sit-back-and-delegate position.

We run lean on purpose. Our leaders roll up their sleeves, dig into the numbers, improve systems, and solve problems firsthand.

You will move between:

Strategic leadership
Process design and improvement
Operational financial partnership
Hands-on accounting and analysis work

If you like staying close to the business while helping steer it forward, this role will energize you.

What You’ll Be Trusted To Do

Own and improve accounting operations across multiple companies
Lead accurate, timely financial reporting and close processes
Build scalable financial processes and internal controls
Drive budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis
Partner with operations leaders to influence decision-making
Support cash flow planning and company-wide financial strategy
Develop and mentor accounting team members
Collaborate directly with ownership and executive leadership
Gradually assume enterprise-level financial leadership responsibilities

The Kind of Leader Who Thrives Here
You likely:

Prefer ownership over hierarchy
Are naturally skeptical and data-driven
Solve problems instead of pointing them out
Move with urgency and intensity
Enjoy building systems that didn’t exist before
Can zoom out strategically and dive deep tactically
Take pride in accuracy, consistency, and reliability
Want a long-term leadership home — not a stepping stone

You’re comfortable saying,
"I’ll figure it out."
…and then actually doing it.

What Makes This Opportunity Different
This is a legitimate CFO development track, not a vague promise.

You will gain:

Direct mentorship from current CFO
Enterprise-level financial leadership exposure
Influence across multiple operating companies
Real ownership and decision-making impact
A long-term leadership opportunity within a stable, growth-focused organization

We believe strong leadership transitions take time, intentional development, and real partnership — not rushed handoffs.

What You Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or similar field
CPA strongly preferred
7+ years progressive accounting or finance leadership experience
Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior leadership experience
Multi-entity or construction / project-based accounting experience strongly valued
Strong GAAP and financial reporting knowledge
Track record of improving systems, processes, or reporting infrastructure
Ability to lead teams while staying hands-on

Compensation Philosophy
We invest in strong leaders.

Compensation is based on experience, leadership capability, and growth readiness. We offer a competitive compensation structure designed to grow alongside your transition toward CFO responsibilities.

Who This Role Is NOT For
You may not enjoy this role if you:

Prefer heavily layered corporate environments
Prefer directing work instead of participating in it
Want fully built systems that rarely change
Are looking for a short-term résumé builder
Prefer slow-moving or highly bureaucratic organizations

Why Leaders Stay Here
Because they get to build.
Because their work matters.
Because they’re trusted.
Because they grow.

If you want a leadership role where you can shape outcomes, build systems, influence strategy, and ultimately step into CFO leadership — we’d love to talk.

RECRUITERS: We are not accepting unsolicited outreach or new agency engagements for this position.
