My client, one of the fastest-growing companies in the construction industry, is looking to hire a Corporate Controller. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants real ownership over the numbers, not just a seat reviewing them after the fact. You'll work directly with senior finance leadership and have a clear line of sight into how your decisions shape the business.
This isn't a single-site accounting job. You'll be the person multiple business units count on to keep their books clean, their controls tight, and their reporting on time. If you've outgrown a role where you're buried in one entity's transactions and you're ready to operate at a higher altitude, this is that next step. The team you'd be joining values accuracy and speed equally, and they're looking for someone who can build process, not just follow it.
- Lead and develop a team of local finance staff spread across multiple business units, setting the standard for accuracy and accountability
- Own project accounting from the ground up, ensuring revenue recognition lines up with real contract progress and job status (percentage-of-completion, POC, cost-to-cost, however your prior team termed it)
- Drive process improvement initiatives that cut down manual work and tighten the monthly close cycle
- Manage the consolidation of financial data across entities, catching and resolving discrepancies before they become problems
- Serve as the go-to contact for auditors and keep every entity audit-ready year-round
- Oversee payroll, benefits administration, and related compliance filings across the region
- Review and approve reconciliations, including WIP schedules and over/under billing positions, ensuring every number on the books has a clean, defensible trail
- Partner with finance leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow visibility to support bigger-picture decisions
