Controller

We are an organization that puts people over profits. We have strong tenure in the company (most of the company has been here 15+ years) and we are looking to hire a Controller to replace someone who is retiring after many years. We are highly stable and have been in business for decades. We focus on commercial construction projects and have a strong connection to the community.

We’re seeking an experienced Controller to take the reins of our financial operations. This role requires a leader who understands both the numbers and the bigger picture—someone who can align accounting processes with business strategy while fostering a culture of teamwork and operational efficiency. Construction industry experience is highly valued, but the ability to collaborate effectively and provide insightful financial leadership is just as important.

What You'll Do

• Oversee all financial operations, including accounts payable, receivable, payroll, and financial reporting
• Ensure compliance with licensing, tax requirements, and contract obligations
• Review project cost reports and financial schedules to support strategic decision-making
• Manage banking relationships, cash flow, and company accounts
• Provide financial insights and forecasting to executive leadership, including work-in-progress (WIP) reports and other key financial analyses
• Ensure accurate and timely payroll tax filings, as well as sales tax reporting and compliance
• Lead the year-end financial closeout and annual budget planning process
• Advise and support the team on cost allocations, job coding accuracy, and general ledger management
• Oversee credit applications and financial risk assessments
• Work closely with HR and Operations on insurance and compliance matters
• Lead and mentor the accounting team, driving process improvements and efficiency

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 7-10+ years of experience in accounting, preferably in a construction or project-based environment
• Strong understanding of GAAP principles (CPA preferred but not required)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Outlook, Word, etc.)
• Experience with Sage or other construction accounting software is a plus
• Proven ability to analyze financial data, communicate insights, and collaborate with leadership

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact in a company that values expertise, innovation, and long-term success. If you’re looking for a leadership role where your financial acumen and strategic mindset will be valued, we’d love to hear from you.
