Chief Financial Officer

Macdonald & Company has partnered with a privately held, vertically integrated real estate owner-operator to identify a Chief Financial Officer to join its leadership team.

The firm focuses on long-term ownership of value-add multifamily assets, combining in-house construction, design, asset management, and finance to reposition older communities into durable, workforce-oriented housing. The platform emphasizes disciplined capital deployment, tax-efficient cash flow, and operational control.

The CFO will serve as a key partner to the CEO and Board, overseeing the company’s financial and operational infrastructure while helping translate strategy into execution. This is a hands-on leadership role suited for an executive comfortable operating in a lean, fast-moving environment with broad responsibility.
