Financial Controller
Spokane, WA

Our client, a growing multi-entity construction and remodel business operating across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona, is seeking a hands-on Controller to lead accounting operations, financial reporting, and process improvement initiatives across the organization. This is not a traditional back-office accounting role — it is a highly visible leadership position with direct exposure to ownership and significant influence on the company’s future growth and operational strategy.

This opportunity is ideal for an accounting and finance professional who enjoys building structure, improving systems, and operating both strategically and tactically.

• Own month-end and year-end close processes, consolidated financial reporting, account reconciliations, and general ledger integrity.

• Build and manage annual budgets, monthly forecasting, and rolling cash flow projections. 
• Partner closely with ownership and leadership on financial planning, operational reporting, and strategic decision-making. 
• Design and implement job costing and gross margin reporting processes to improve operational visibility. 
• Prepare and analyze monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, variance reporting, and KPI dashboards. 
• Manage intercompany accounting, reconciliations, and consolidated reporting across multiple legal entities. 
• Oversee AP/AR, payroll coordination, fixed assets, expense management, and cash flow management. 
• Identify opportunities for process improvements, automation, and operational efficiencies. 
• Collaborate with operations leadership to align financial reporting with business performance and bonus metrics. 
• Manage relationships with external CPA firms, advisors, lenders, and financial partners. 
• Supervise and mentor accounting support staff while helping build scalable finance infrastructure for future growth.

• Strong understanding of GAAP accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management. 
• Hands-on mentality with the ability to operate both strategically and tactically. 
• Experience building processes, systems, and operational structure in a growing business environment. 
• Strong business acumen with the ability to partner cross-functionally with leadership and operations teams. 
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. 
• Strong Excel skills and proficiency with accounting/ERP systems; QuickBooks Online experience preferred.
