Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

A well-established commercial construction firm is looking for a Controller to own the financial operations of an active, growing project portfolio. This isn't a back-office numbers role. You'll be embedded with project managers and field leadership, translating job cost data into decisions that actually shape how projects get built and billed.

What you'll own:

• Full job costing and WIP schedules across active commercial projects
• Percentage-of-completion accounting and monthly revenue recognition
• Partnering directly with PMs and superintendents on cost tracking, change orders, and margin management
• Cash flow forecasting tied to project draws and billing cycles
• Month-end close, financial reporting, and audit support
• Building/refining accounting processes as the company scales

What we're looking for:

• Solid construction accounting background including job cost, WIP, percentage-of-completion isn't new to you
• Comfortable in the field as much as behind a desk - this role requires real relationships with project teams, not just clean spreadsheets
• Strong communicator who can translate financials for non-financial stakeholders
• CPA a plus, not required
• Prior Controller or strong Assistant Controller experience in commercial construction

Why this role: Growing, stable platform with real ownership over the finance function and direct visibility to leadership. This is not a cog-in-a-machine corporate accounting seat.
