Controller

Edwards Electrical & Mechanical Inc.

Controller

MEPX is seeking an experienced Controller to lead accounting and financial operations while serving as a key financial partner to the President and operational leadership.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who understands the financial side of construction and project-based businesses , particularly job costing, WIP, revenue recognition, forecasting, and project financial controls .

The Controller will own the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting while helping operational leaders understand what the numbers mean, where risks are developing, and where the business has opportunities to improve performance.

What You'll Lead

Monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close
Financial statements, management reporting, and general-ledger integrity
Construction job costing, WIP, revenue recognition, and cost-to-complete reporting
Project forecasting, margin analysis, change orders, billing, retainage, and collection-risk reporting
Annual budgeting and budget-to-actual analysis
AP, AR, cash reporting, inventory accounting, and fixed assets
Internal controls, accounting policies, audit coordination, and financial compliance
Financial systems and process-improvement initiatives
Accounting team leadership and development
Financial oversight and coordination related to payroll, benefits, and labor-cost reporting

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience
Previous accounting leadership experience
Strong command of GAAP, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and internal controls
Experience with construction accounting, job costing, and WIP strongly preferred
Experience in construction, service, manufacturing, or another project-based business environment preferred
Strong ERP and financial-systems experience
ERP implementation or migration experience preferred
CPA or advanced degree preferred

The Right Fit

We're looking for more than someone who can close the books.

The right Controller can dig into WIP, understand what is happening at the project level, identify margin or cash-flow risks early, and communicate financial information in a way that helps operational leaders make better decisions.

You'll work closely with the President and business leaders while providing the financial discipline, reporting, and controls needed to support a growing operation.

Why This Role Matters

Accurate financial reporting is only part of the job. This role helps connect Finance and Operations , ensuring leadership has reliable information to protect margins, manage cash, improve forecasting, and make informed business decisions.

If you have a strong construction accounting background and are ready to take ownership of the financial operations of a complex, project-driven business, we'd like to hear from you.
