About this role

Controller – Broad Leadership Role (Accounting + Operations)

I’m partnering with a growing $30M construction company to hire a Controller who will take ownership of the accounting function while also overseeing select HR compliance and administrative processes.

This is a great opportunity for a hands-on Controller or strong Assistant Controller who enjoys wearing multiple hats and being a trusted right hand to ownership.

What makes this role stand out:

  • 70% accounting leadership (close, financials, controls)
  • Oversight of HR/compliance processes
  • Report directly to a hands-off, supportive owner
  • Partner with a strong VP of Operations
  • Tight-knit team with opportunity to shape processes and structure
  • Stable business with both property management + construction exposure

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own month-end close, financial reporting, and balance sheet integrity
  • Oversee AP/AR functions and day-to-day accounting operations
  • Help improve processes, controls, and systems
  • Provide oversight of HR compliance, personnel processes, and documentation (with internal support already in place)
  • Act as a key partner to ownership and operations

If you’re looking for a role where you can own the numbers, influence operations, and grow with the business, this is worth a conversation.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and 5+ years experience
  • Controller or Assistant Controller ready to step up
  • Experience in a small to mid-sized company environment
  • Background in construction, property management, or project-based accounting is a plus
  • Someone comfortable being hands-on and owning multiple areas of the business
