Job Description

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.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Qualifications:

• 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

Why This Role?

• 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.
