Controller → Future CFO (3-Year Track)

Bulldog Group, Inc.•Kernersville, NC

About The Position

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 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. 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.
