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.
