Controller, Finance & Banking, Financial Manager

Base pay range

$/yr - $/yr

We’re partnering with a family‑owned, growth‑stage construction services company (~$45M revenue, ~300 employees) that is intentionally professionalizing its finance function as it prepares to double in size over the next 5–7 years.

The company is intentionally transitioning from a family‑run operation to a professionalized, mid‑market organization
, while preserving its strong culture and long‑tenured team.

This is a true build‑and‑lead Controller role. You’ll step in as the company’s first dedicated Controller, owning the accounting function end‑to‑end, developing the team, strengthening controls, and modernizing processes while partnering closely with the CFO and ownership.

• Real authority and visibility
• Opportunity to elevate people, processes, and systems
• Long‑tenured team with a strong family culture
• Flexible, trust‑based environment (not a clock‑watching culture)
• Leadership views this hire as an investment in growth, not a cost

This is a newly created Controller role and a key leadership hire. This hire represents a strategic decision to level up leadership, systems, and structure as the business scales.

Ownership views this role as a long‑term investment in growth
, not a transactional backfill.

• Drive process improvement, automation, and systems scalability
• Oversee, assist in selecting, and be an integral part in an ERP implementation
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Partner closely with the CFO and ownership during a high‑growth phase

• A Controller who enjoys building and improving
  , not just maintaining
• A strong people leader who can coach, mentor, and elevate a team
• Someone comfortable professionalizing processes in a family‑owned environment
• A leader who wants real ownership, visibility, and long‑term runway

• 12–15+ years progressive accounting experience
• Prior Controller or Assistant Controller experience
• CPA strongly preferred
• Construction or project‑based experience highly preferred
• Base: $150K–$170K (flexible for the right leader)
• Bonus: 10–20% (plus discretionary quarterly bonuses)
• 401(k) with 4% match
• Multiple medical plan options
• PTO:
  Officially 3 weeks, functionally flexible
