How Truity Partners partnered with a nationally recognized construction company to conduct a nationwide search for a strategic finance leader capable of supporting growth, strengthening operations, and building for the future.
Client:
A nationally recognized commercial general contractor sought a strategic VP Finance to strengthen their accounting and finance function and support their rapid business growth. Based in Las Vegas, this newly created role required a strong people leader with deep finance and accounting expertise, exposure to construction or real estate, and a deep connection to the company’s people-centered, fun-loving culture.
Partnership:
The client engaged the Truity Partners Executive Search team following a trusted referral from a similar organization based in the Midwest, where we had successfully placed a CFO. Our reputation for clear communication, robust national search process, and commitment to understanding client culture and goals positioned us as the ideal partner for this critical search.
Our Unique Value:
Before launching the search, our Executive Search team partnered closely with the client’s leadership to define the ideal candidate profile and align on expectations. Together, we identified the technical skills, leadership qualities, and cultural attributes essential for success, while addressing challenges such as geographic location and local market dynamics.
Leveraging these insights, we developed a customized research and outreach strategy. Our nationwide search targeted high-performing finance and accounting professionals with backgrounds in public accounting, consulting, and industry roles, prioritizing candidates with construction or real estate exposure and a passion for building teams and scalable processes. This approach delivered a diverse and highly qualified slate for the client’s consideration.
Process:
With our extensive candidate network, we coordinated both virtual and on-site interviews with senior leadership. By managing scheduling, travel logistics, and administrative details, we ensured a seamless experience for both the client and candidates, enabling efficient decision-making throughout the process.
Results:
From a strong pool of finalists, the client selected a candidate based outside Las Vegas who had ties to the area and brought a unique blend of public and private sector finance expertise. This individual’s experience will drive best practices and elevate the company’s financial operations.
The client praised our partnership and emphasized the strategic impact of this placement, noting that this role will be instrumental in shaping the future success of the finance department and the organization as a whole. Our Executive Search team not only delivered exceptional results but also transformed the client’s perception of external recruiting partners. Prior to engaging with us, they had experienced challenges and disappointment with other firms, and our approach and outcomes helped to change that narrative.
