North Georgia Civil Inc., also known as NGC General Contractors, is a rapidly growing commercial, civil, and telecommunications contractor headquartered in Danielsville, GA. NGC delivers federal facility renovations, commercial, civil, utility, and wireless infrastructure projects across multiple states for federal agencies, wireless carriers, tower owners, and commercial clients. The company has built its reputation on quality work, accurate communication, accountability, and dependable project execution.

NGC is on a planned path from roughly $33 million in 2026 revenue to $50 million in 2027 and $75 million in 2028. The Controller is the first dedicated finance leader in that plan. This role owns the month-end close, job cost and WIP, financial statements, cash forecasting, certified payroll compliance, and the internal controls that protect company cash. The Controller supervises the AP/AR and Payroll Specialist hired in 2027 and builds the finance function as it grows from one seat to five by 2030.

The Business Operations Manager continues to own subcontractor onboarding, purchase orders, and invoice coding; the Controller owns what happens to those transactions after entry.
