In-Person | Leadership Role | Construction Industry
Lead The Numbers. Influence Strategy. Build What's Next.
- Due to an upcoming retirement, we're seeking a Controller to take ownership of our financial operations and help guide the company through its next phase of growth. This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll oversee day-to-day accounting while partnering with leadership on strategy, forecasting, and performance.
- The ideal candidate brings a strong background in construction accounting, understands percentage-of-completion (POC) revenue recognition, and is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
What You'll Do
- Lead all core accounting functions: A/R (billing), A/P, payroll, and general ledger
- Prepare accurate and timely financial statements (GAAP), including reconciliations and multi-entity reporting
- Oversee percentage-of-completion accounting and revenue recognition
- Manage cash flow forecasting and support quarterly distribution planning
- Ensure timely billing, collections, and accruals
- Oversee payroll processing and tax/statutory reporting (monthly, quarterly, year-end)
- Maintain and optimize job costing systems (NAV) and timekeeping systems (TimeClock Plus)
- Deliver monthly, quarterly, and annual financial analysis and insights
- Partner with leadership to support strategic decision-making and growth initiatives
- Lead annual audits and coordinate with external auditors and tax advisors
- Serve as 401(k) co-trustee and support benefits-related financial oversight
- Assist with IT coordination alongside external vendors as needed
- Hire, mentor, and develop an Assistant Controller to ensure team depth and continuity
What We're Looking For
- CPA or EA License (Required)
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting
- 5-10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership/supervision
- Public accounting background (2-4 years of audit experience preferred)
- Strong expertise in construction accounting and POC revenue recognition
- Experience with multi-entity reporting and consolidations (preferred)
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and/or Sage Intacct (preferred)
- Highly detail-oriented with strong follow-through
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, project-driven environment
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
Benefits
- Competitive salary (based on experience)
- Comprehensive Benefits Package:
- 401(k) with company match
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Life, AD&D, and disability coverage
- Paid time off
- Tuition reimbursement
- Employee assistance program
- Cell phone reimbursement
Why This Role Stands Out
- Succession opportunity-step into a key leadership role due to retirement
- High visibility with direct impact on financial strategy and operations
- Blend of hands-on accounting + strategic leadership
- Opportunity to modernize systems and improve processes
- Stable company with strong growth potential
The Bottom Line
This is more than a Controller role-it's an opportunity to own the financial function, influence business decisions, and help shape the future of a growing construction organization.
