Role Purpose
Own the financial integrity of a fast-growing, high-volume homebuilding operation. Deliver a clean, fast close; trusted job-level profitability; strong controls; and decision-grade reporting that enables leadership to scale communities, manage cash and lines, and protect margin—without surprises.
What “Great” Looks Like
- A repeatable close that doesn’t rely on heroics
- Job costs and margins construction leaders trust
- Early detection of margin leakage (PO discipline, change orders, trade credits, warranty accruals, spec aging)
- Confident handling of multi-entity complexity (intercompany, allocations, debt covenants)
- Controls that speed the business instead of slowing it down
Core Responsibilities

- Maintain GAAP-consistent chart of accounts and reporting structure
- Oversee draw packages, lender reporting support, and bank reconciliations
- Ensure 1099 compliance and vendor master integrity
Job Costing & Margin Integrity

- Maintain tight linkage between POs, invoices, WIP, inventory, and margin
- Enforce disciplined accounting for lot/house costs, specs, interest capitalization, and warranty accruals
- Partner with Operations on accurate starts, completions, and closings
Inventory, Land & Capitalization
- Oversee land acquisition, development, and vertical construction accounting
- Maintain lot cost rollups, indirect cost allocations, and interest capitalization schedules
- Track spec inventory aging, impairment indicators, and model home capitalization/depreciation
Cash, Forecasting & Executive Reporting
- Manage cash forecasting, funding needs, payables cadence, and payroll timing
- Drive annual budgets and rolling forecasts by entity and community
- Deliver dashboards on closings vs. plan, margins, incentives, spec aging, warranty trends, and SG&A
- Provide insight into the why, not just the what
Controls, Audit Readiness & Risk Management
- Design and enforce scalable internal controls (approvals, segregation of duties, PO-to-pay)
- Lead CPA relationships for year-end and reviews (as applicable)
- Maintain clear accounting policies and documentation
Team Leadership & Systems Ownership
- Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team with clear roles and standards
- Own close calendars, checklists, KPIs, and backup coverage
- Improve systems, workflows, and automation (AP, JEs, BI reporting)
- Partner cross-functionally with Ops, Purchasing, Sales, and Land
Required Experience
- 8–12+ years progressive accounting/finance experience; Controller-level ownership required
- Homebuilding or construction accounting experience required (production volume strongly preferred)
- Multi-entity consolidations, intercompany, and allocations required
- Proven success delivering a fast, clean close (≤7 business days; 5-day target preferred)
- Advanced Excel required; BI experience a plus
What We Value
- High standards, low drama
- Intellectual honesty and early issue escalation
- Operator mindset with strong business judgment
