*** Proven financial leader with deep construction and/or real estate experience (CPA, CFA, or MBA preferred) ***
About Us
The Hernandez Group is a fully integrated real estate development and construction organization headquartered in Fort Lauderdale. Our platform includes:
- Hernandez Construction – full-service general/paper contractor
- Hernandez Development – real estate development arm
- HDS – real estate development services for third parties
- Asset Management – oversight of internal and external investments
We are in growth mode—expanding geographically, diversifying asset classes, and investing heavily in technology and process automation to support scalability.
The Role
We’re seeking a Fractional Chief Financial & Strategy Officer (CFO/CSO) to partner with our Executive Team in driving disciplined growth. This leader will provide both financial stewardship and strategic insight, ensuring our multi-entity platform is positioned for sustainable expansion.
What You’ll Do
As CFO
- Oversee financial forecasting, budgeting, cash planning, and consolidated reporting across all entities.
- Partner with our Corporate Controller to elevate accounting/finance operations.
- Leverage ERP and project management platforms (Procore, Viewpoint, ClickUp, Data Rails, etc.) to automate reporting and build real-time dashboards.
- Implement cash flow management tools to support project-driven businesses.
As CSO
- Partner with our CIO and Divisional Presidents to identify growth opportunities, optimize capital allocation, and structure investments into new development projects.
- Lead accountability reviews with business unit leaders using dashboard-driven performance tracking.
- Support restructuring and process improvements across entities, driving scalability and efficiency.
- Provide M&A, fundraising, and capital structuring support as we expand.
Who You Are
- Proven financial leader with deep construction and/or real estate experience (CPA, CFA, or MBA preferred).
- Skilled at building forecasting models and integrating tech platforms to enable real-time decision-making.
- Experienced in multi-entity financial oversight, capital structuring, and cross-entity cash flow management.
- Strong change management skills; able to streamline operations while building trust and accountability.
- Strategic, entrepreneurial, and tech-forward mindset—comfortable operating in a fast-paced growth environment.
- Excited by the fractional role: hands-on when needed, but focused on systems, structure, and scalability.
Why Join Us?
This is not a traditional CFO role—it’s an opportunity to:
- Architect the financial backbone of a fast-growing, tech-enabled real estate platform.
- Shape strategy alongside entrepreneurial leadership.
- Work flexibly in a fractional/part-time capacity while making an outsized impact.
- Competitive compensation, with potential for equity participation as we scale.
