CMiC Team Member Spotlight: Daniel Bradley

When assembling our CMiC core team, we knew that we needed team members with a wide range of experience and skillsets. CMiC will be replacing many existing processes and systems, especially when it comes to financial processes and reporting. Daniel Bradley, Vice President of Finance, is bringing his extensive financial knowledge to the team to ensure a smooth transition for our Accounting Team and our entire company.

Daniel’s Accounting and Financial experience over the past 20 years is vital to the success of the CMiC implementation. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Accounting from the University of Missouri, earned his Certified Public Accountant designation in 2004, and Certified Management Accountant designation in 2013. He began his career in external and internal auditing for six years before transitioning to Oldcastle Materials. At Oldcastle Materials, Daniel spent five years as the Senior Accounting & Reporting Manager and SOX Compliance Coordinator, overseeing a $1.5B division of the company. In 2014, Daniel joined The Kansas City Southern Railway Company where he served as the Senior Accounting Manager of the $2.5B organization. Finally, in 2017, Daniel joined Keeley Construction as Controller before being promoted to Director of Finance in 2022 and Vice President of Finance in 2024. At Keeley, Daniel has helped build one of the most capable Accounting teams in the industry, contributing to over 400% top-line revenue growth.  In his current role as Vice President of Finance, Daniel oversees all internal and external financial reporting & analysis, general & administrative expense budgets, ad-hoc special projects requiring analysis of large data sets, and is active in several #KeeleyCares outreach activities. Daniel was named as the 2020 Controller of the Year by the Controllers Council (in the medium-sized, privately held category) for his professional expertise and the 2020 #KeeleyCares Volunteer of the Year for his philanthropic involvement.

As Vice President of Finance, Daniel plays a key role in implementing CMiC companywide by establishing a financial reporting structure & cadence to deliver meaningful, timely information for sound business decisions, ensuring our skilled support teams in Project Accounting, Payroll, Technical Accounting, and Overhead Payables have what they need for a seamless transition between systems, and overseeing the migration and validation of financial data from the previous system into CMiC.

“CMiC is important to our continued success for several reasons. First, it will ring improved efficiency. For an organization of our size, we have too many manual processes, especially in Accounting and Financial reporting. By automating these processes, CMiC will reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, and minimize errors, giving our Accounting team crucial time to focus on more value-added initiatives. Additionally, as Keeley continues to grow, CMiC can scale with our growth, supporting larger projects, more team members, and increasing financial complexity without the need for other bolt-on software services. Finally, CMiC will bring cost savings. Over time, the efficiency gains and reduction in errors will ultimately lead to better resource management.”

The Accounting & Finance team’s wide-ranging, in-depth knowledge and decades of experience will pave the way for a successful implementation and rollout of CMiC that all Keeley’ns can be proud of.
