Head of finance and business administration at BHM, Oyindamola Benjamin-Black, will be leaving the company after eight years, to take on a senior role at Canada’s leading construction supervisory and management company, Capital Paving Inc.
BHM announced her exit on Monday.
Benjamin-Black joined BHM in 2013 as a financial accountant and quickly rose to become the head of finance, advising consultants and senior management on strategy, budgeting, planning, policies, optimisation, controls, and risk.
Speaking on her exit, BHM founder and CEO Ayeni Adekunle said, “It is a bittersweet feeling to see Oyindamola go as she has been with us for almost a decade and made a success of transforming our business and finance operations, helping us attain operational efficiencies and remarkable growth. I have no doubts that she will achieve great exploits at Capital Paving Inc. and I have to say that they are very lucky to have her.”

She is also a chartered professional accountant (CPA) and has achieved her CGA (certified general accountant) designation from Ontario, Canada.
She is a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in the UK, holding her ACCA, as well as a member of CPA Ontario, Canada’s leading body of professional accountants.
“I’m looking forward to diversifying with this new opportunity at Capital Paving Inc. My father’s career as an engineer in building and road construction has inspired me to learn more about the construction industry and I look forward to applying my expertise to ensure growth and efficiency at Capital Paving Inc,” she said.
“I am grateful to the BHM Group team and the CEO, Ayeni, for the opportunity to play a pivotal role in optimising the company’s processes and systems achieving over 100% growth, year on year, in revenue, client base and profits in the past five years.”
While at BHM, Benjamin-Black’s work on the team helped BHM Group acquire and retain high-ranking clients, cut operational costs, and increase annual revenue by over 400% in less than a decade.
