Position Overview


We are seeking a highly skilled Interim Controller to partner with operational leadership and drive financial performance within a complex, project-based environment.

  • Month-End Close & WIP Management (50%)
  • Lead month-end close processes with heavy focus on percentage-of-completion accounting
  • Manage WIP schedules across 200-300 concurrent projects
  • Coordinate with Project Managers and Project Accountants to validate cost, revenue recognition, and project status
  • Analyze margins, under/over billings, and budget variance
  • Facilitate preliminary and final WIP reviews with senior leadership
  • Financial Oversight & Reporting (20%)
  • Ensure accurate financial reporting, including revenue recognition and cost tracking
  • Perform variance analysis across direct costs, fleet, and project expenses
  • Support executive-level financial presentations and insights

  • Operational Leadership (20%)
  • Oversee AP, AR, Payroll, Procurement, Warehouse operations, and IT/Helpdesk functions
  • Drive process improvements and ensure adherence to closing timelines
  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure financial controls and data integrity

  • Special Projects & Asset Management (10%)
  • Lead CAPEX initiatives, fleet and fixed asset reviews
  • Execute ad hoc financial analyses and operational improvement projects

Month-End Close Process Snapshot


The Interim Controller will drive a structured close process including:
  • Shutting down receiving and ensuring all procurement activity is recorded
  • Ensuring AP is fully captured and recognized
  • Validating billing accuracy and AR flow
  • Conducting job reviews with project teams for cost/revenue alignment
  • Performing variance analysis and identifying discrepancies
  • Leading WIP review meetings, including executive-level presentations
Core Competencies & Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications:
  • Strong experience with percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting
  • Proven financial reporting and variance analysis expertise
  • Background in construction or manufacturing environments
  • Experience with large ERP systems (Spectrum Viewpoint preferred)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage both processes and teams
  • Advanced Excel proficiency
Preferred (Nice-to-Have):
  • Hands-on experience in smaller or mid-sized business environments
  • Background spanning AP, billing, and operational finance functions
  • Experience working with fleet and asset-heavy organizations

Ideal Candidate Profile


The successful Interim Controller is a proactive, business-minded leader who can translate financial data into operational insights. This individual thrives in fast-paced environments, communicates effectively with executives and project teams, and takes ownership of both financial accuracy and business outcomes.
