Controller, Accounting, Financial Compliance

Controller Position

We are looking for a hands-on Controller to join a construction company in Fort Worth, Texas. This position is ideal for an accounting specialist who thrives in a smaller private-company environment where priorities can span multiple functions, and no two days look the same. The role calls for strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and the initiative to manage core accounting activities while building trusted relationships with company leadership.

This opportunity also offers long-term growth potential for someone interested in expanding into broader financial leadership responsibilities.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee daily accounting operations across a lean department, stepping into a broad range of financial tasks as business needs evolve.
• Manage payroll processing, accounts payable activities, and job costing with accuracy, timeliness, and strong internal controls.
• Prepare and review financial records, reconciliations, and supporting documentation to maintain reliable reporting and audit readiness.
• Partner with senior leaders, including company presidents and executive stakeholders, to provide financial insight and operational support.
• Contribute to document management activities such as organizing, scanning, and maintaining accounting and business records in a structured manner.
• Support cross-functional administrative and finance-related processes in an environment where responsibilities may extend beyond traditional accounting boundaries.
• Help guide and coordinate the work of accounting staff while promoting accountability, consistency, and a collaborative team culture.
• Assist with HR-related administrative matters when needed and provide support on special projects tied to the finance function.
• Position the finance operation for future growth by strengthening processes and preparing for expanded oversight responsibilities across additional entities.
• Take ownership of hands-on financial work while adapting quickly to shifting priorities within a growing private company setting.
