Controller- Construction

Controller-Level Operations & Finance Leader (Construction)

A growing construction company is seeking a hands-on financial and operational leader to support ownership in a high-impact role. This is not a typical accountant position focused on AP or basic job costing - that support already exists. We are looking for someone who understands construction financials at a strategic level and can lead forecasting, budgeting, banking relationships, and overall financial accountability.

• Lead company-wide forecasting and budgeting
• Work directly with banks, lenders, and financial partners
• Assist with property acquisition analysis and financial planning
• Oversee the internal accountant and financial workflows
• Partner with sales, vendors, and trade partners to ensure financial alignment
• Monitor cash flow, projections, and overall financial health
• Improve systems, clean up GL reporting, and strengthen processes during slower cycles
• Provide financial insight to support ownership decision-making

• 3+ years of construction-related financial experience
• Strong forecasting, budgeting, and cash flow knowledge
• Comfortable communicating with banks and outside financial partners
• Leadership ability with experience overseeing accounting functions
• Construction background needed
• Proactive, growth-minded, and solutions-oriented
• Takes initiative and thrives in a dynamic environment
• Software experience helpful, but trainable

• Direct exposure to ownership
• Clear path toward a true controller-level position
• High visibility and influence within the company
• Degree not required - experience and capability matter most

This is a strong opportunity for a driven construction finance professional ready to step into a strategic leadership role.
