Controller Job in Apison, TN

Controller

We're looking for a sharp, hands-on Controller to own the financial heartbeat of a growing business operating at the intersection of manufacturing and custom construction.

This is not a back-office accounting role. We need a leader who can drive budgets, control costs, tighten contract administration, and bring financial discipline to complex projects and operations. You'll partner closely with leadership to protect margins, strengthen controls, and ensure every project is structured for financial success from contract through closeout.

What You'll Own

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and cost control across projects and operations
• Oversee job costing, WIP reporting, revenue recognition, and progress billing
• Manage contract terms, billing schedules, change orders, and financial administration
• Review project profitability, cost overruns, and margin performance
• Strengthen internal controls across accounting, inventory, and operations
• Drive cash flow visibility, reporting accuracy, and compliance
• Partner with operations and leadership to turn financial insight into action

What We're Looking For

• Strong Controller experience in construction, manufacturing, modular, or project-based environments
• Deep knowledge of job costing, budgeting, contract accounting, and financial reporting
• Ability to spot risk early, challenge assumptions, and keep projects financially on track
• Hands-on, accountable, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving growth environment

If you know how to own the numbers, protect the margin, and bring order to complexity, we'd like to connect.
