Position Summary

We are seeking an Assistant Regional Controller to support accounting operations across our North and Mid-Atlantic Regions. Based in our Purcellville, VA area office, this role partners closely with the Regional Controller and Regional CFO to ensure accurate job-level financial reporting, timely month-end close, and strong internal controls across multiple branches and entities.

This is a hands-on role for an accounting professional who understands construction and how the numbers behind a project actually work — from estimate to job cost to revenue recognition.

Key Responsibilities

• Support month-end and year-end close for multiple branches and legal entities within the region, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations.
• Own and maintain job costing accuracy — track project costs against estimates, review committed costs, and partner with operations and project managers to resolve variances.
• Assist in work-in-progress (WIP) reporting, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, and over/under billing analysis for active construction jobs.
• Prepare and review branch-level P&L, balance sheet, and margin reporting; help investigate and explain variances to budget and forecast.
• Maintain the integrity of financial data in the company's ERP system (NetSuite) and supporting subledgers.
• Support accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll coordination as needed to ensure complete and accurate cost capture.
• Help strengthen and document internal controls, accounting policies, and close procedures across the region.
• Support external audit and lender requests with timely, well-organized schedules and documentation.
• Assist with integration and standardization of accounting processes as new branches join the region.
• Partner cross-functionally with regional leadership, corporate finance, and branch teams to provide reliable, decision-useful financial information.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, with a meaningful portion in construction accounting and job costing .
• Strong working knowledge of construction-specific accounting concepts: job cost tracking, committed costs, WIP, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, and over/under billings.
• Solid understanding of GAAP and month-end close processes.
• Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets across multiple branches or entities.
• High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to work on-site at our Purcellville, VA area office with some travel to other sites in VA.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with NetSuite (strongly preferred).
• Experience in a multi-branch, multi-entity, or private equity-backed organization.
• Experience supporting an acquisitive or rapidly growing company, including entity or system integrations.
• CPA, CMA, or progress toward certification.
• Familiarity with construction/paving estimating or project management software.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary of $130-145K, commensurate with experience.
• Performance-based bonus eligibility.
• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• A collaborative, people-first culture that values quality, accountability, and doing the job the right way.
