Frederick A. Colandreo, CFO
Rick Colandreo, has been integral to Current Builders' success and growth since 1996. A licensed CPA, he holds degrees in accounting and finance. Rick is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants. While overseeing all aspects of Current Builders' corporate finances, Rick also manages a team of in-house account managers who utilize state-of-the-art accounting software to monitor and track project costs and revenues. Rick brings expertise in financial management that is founded on the highest ethical and moral standards.
In 2021 Rick announced that the firm would become an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as part of the company's strategy to retain and attract top construction employees. The shortage of qualified workers in the construction industry continues to be a persistent national issue, but Rick believes that initiatives, such as Current Builders recently launched ESOP, will place the firm in an advantageous recruiting and retainage position as the firm builds to meet the tremendous demand for multifamily and mixed-use housing in Florida.
In addition, Rick is an ardent supporter of Best Buddies, the world's largest organization to his responsibilities at Current Builders dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 2020, Rick assumed the lead role for Current Builders' Charitable Foundation which supports community causes and non-profit fundraising for numerous regional charities including but not limited to Best Buddies, Toys for Tots, Dolphins Cancer Challenge, Rebuilding Together, Habitat for Humanity and the Kappa Foundation.
