Job Description & How to Apply Below

Construction accounting isn't like other accounting, job costing, WIP schedules, retainage, and percentage-of-completion aren't afterthoughts, they're the job. We're looking for a Controller who speaks that language fluently and is ready to lead our accounting function through continued growth.

On Your Plate:

  • Own the month-end and year-end close process, including job cost accounting and WIP reporting
  • Prepare and review percentage-of-completion schedules and ensure accurate revenue recognition across active projects
  • Oversee AIA billing, retainage tracking, and subcontractor payment processes
  • Ensure financial statements comply with GAAP and construction industry accounting standards
  • Manage banking relationships, bonding requirements, and surety reporting
  • Lead the annual audit process and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and bonding agents
  • Partner with Project Managers and Operations to keep job costs and budgets aligned
  • Build and maintain strong internal controls across accounting and project financial processes
  • Manage and develop the accounting team

What Gets You Noticed:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA a plus
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in construction or a project-based industry
  • Strong hands‑on knowledge of job costing, WIP, and percentage-of-completion accounting
  • Experience with surety/bonding relationships and AIA billing a strong plus
  • Comfortable being the financial translator between the field and the office
  • Prior experience leading or developing an accounting team
