A high-growth, exciting work environment awaits in Houston for a leader with the right mix of construction knowledge, management skill and expertise in finance. A national homebuilder with ample room for employee advancement has begun looking for a new division-level vice president of finance. Housing demand is soaring in this region backed by strong fundamentals and job growth. This position represents a chance to join this company’s leadership and act as a key adviser on the financial decisions that will make the most of this expanding market.

The new vice president will also take ultimate responsibility for the day-to-day financial operations of the division. This takes in receivables, accounts payable, inventory, payroll and reporting. Just as important, this person will coordinate quarterly forecasts and participate in annual planning, while also serving as part of the team that assesses the feasibility of new subdivisions. The position grants the vice president broad authority at the division level, and senior leadership will regularly look to this person for guidance on critical financial matters.

Qualifications for this role include a relevant bachelor’s degree with five to seven years of public accounting experience. Candidates should have thorough knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting. They should also be adept at long-term project management, integrating the work of multiple disciplines and strong but respectful leadership.
