Job Description

Job Description

Why this role matters

We're at an inflection point. With 650+ units under management and plans to expand into multiple locations, we need a Controller who can build the financial infrastructure that makes that growth possible — not just keep score, but help us play the game at the next level.

This is a high-impact, high-trust role working directly with ownership. You'll own all accounting and financial operations end-to-end — from daily bookkeeping to strategic analysis — and serve as the financial backbone of everything we do. If you're a detail-obsessed financial leader who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants real ownership of your work, this is the seat for you.

What you'll do

Financial management & reporting

• Prepare accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Manage the general ledger, journal entries, reconciliations, and month/year-end close
• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and job costing
• Maintain fixed asset schedules and depreciation records
• Prepare and monitor cash flow forecasts to ensure liquidity
• Develop, track, and report on budgets and financial projections
• Deliver in-depth reporting to ownership — not just numbers, but the full story behind them: trends, variances, and forward-looking commentary

Compliance & internal controls

• Design and maintain a strong internal controls framework
• Ensure full GAAP compliance and adherence to federal, state, and local regulations
• Coordinate with external CPA for tax preparation, reviews, and audits
• Manage sales tax and other regulatory filings accurately and on time

Strategic & operational support

• Serve as a trusted financial advisor to the Owner/President — providing full context and history behind every number, not just surface-level answers
• Analyze job costing, project margins, and overhead allocation to drive operational decisions
• Develop and maintain KPIs and financial dashboards that keep leadership informed
• Support contract review and negotiations from a financial risk perspective
• Build the financial systems and scalable processes needed to support multi-location expansion

Team leadership & systems

• Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team — set the standard, build the culture
• Establish and document accounting policies and procedures
• Oversee accounting software and financial systems; drive process improvements
• Champion a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement

Who we're looking for

• Meticulous - details don't slip past you
• A leader who develops and elevated the people around them
• Strategic thinker with a hands-on, get-it-done approach
• Proactive communicator - ownership never has to dig for answers
• High integrity - discretion and trust are non-negotiable
• Growth-oriented - energized by building not just maintaining

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field
• 10 years of progressive accounting experience, including prior Controller roles
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP
• Experience with tax compliance
• Track record of building or scaling accounting teams

Benefits:

• 401(k) 3% Match
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
