Financial Controller

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. The company is looking for someone who can get into the weeds when needed, create scalable financial infrastructure, and partner closely with leadership to drive better business decisions across a growing portfolio of operating entities.

Controller Responsibilities:

• Lead all day-to-day accounting and financial operations across multiple entities.
• Own month-end and year-end close processes, consolidated financial reporting, account reconciliations, and general ledger integrity.
• Develop and improve accounting processes, internal controls, approval workflows, and financial reporting structure.
• 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.
  

Controller Background Profile:

• At least 5 years of accounting and/or finance experience with progressive responsibility.
• Prior experience as a Senior Accountant, Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or Controller preferred.
• Multi-entity accounting experience required, including intercompany reconciliations and consolidated reporting.
• 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.
• Experience with job costing or project accounting in construction, home services, trades, or related industries is a plus.
• CPA, CMA, or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred.
