A growing, privately held, owner-led company in the commercial construction/specialty contracting industry is seeking a hands-on Controller to lead its accounting operations. The company has experienced significant growth and is currently in the approximately $10M–$15M revenue range.

This position reports directly to the owner and manages a three-person accounting team. The ideal candidate is comfortable both leading the accounting function and remaining involved in day-to-day operations. This is not a large corporate Controller role; the successful candidate will be someone who enjoys working closely with ownership, accounting staff and project teams in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment.

  • Manage month-end close, general ledger and account reconciliations
  • Oversee AP, AR, collections and customer billing
  • Prepare and review financial statements and management reporting
  • Monitor cash flow and prepare short-term cash-flow forecasts
  • Strengthen job-costing and project-accounting processes
  • Develop and maintain appropriate accounting controls
  • Support budgeting and forecasting with the owner
  • Work closely with project managers and project coordinators
  • Identify opportunities to automate, streamline and improve accounting processes
  • Coordinate with outside CPA and other financial partners

Ideal Background

  • Approximately 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Strong QuickBooks Online experience required
  • Prior experience supervising or leading accounting staff
  • Strong understanding of AP, AR, reconciliations, GL, cash flow and financial reporting
  • Construction, specialty contracting, installation or other project/job-cost accounting experience strongly preferred
  • Highly tech-savvy and comfortable adopting new software and systems
  • Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills
  • Hands-on, organized and comfortable working directly with an entrepreneurial owner
  • Able to lead, delegate and improve processes while still stepping into the details when necessary

Compensation: $80,000–$100,000, depending on experience.
