Senior Controller

Full-Time | In-Office | Northwest Houston

Our client, a growing private equity-backed construction company, is seeking a hands‑on Senior Controller to join its leadership team during an exciting phase of expansion and operational transformation. The company is positioned for significant growth through organic expansion, acquisitions, and continued market development across Texas and beyond.

This is a high‑impact opportunity for an experienced accounting and finance leader who thrives in entrepreneurial, fast‑paced environments and enjoys building scalable financial infrastructure.

The organization currently operates throughout Texas and additional markets and is focused on strengthening its accounting and finance infrastructure as the business scales. The accounting team is established and stable, but the company is seeking a strong leader to help enhance processes, improve reporting capabilities, and create a scalable finance function to support future growth initiatives.
