Job Summary

Heritage MEP is looking for a hands-on Controller to help build the finance infrastructure for a growing multi-entity mechanical services platform.

This is not just a traditional close-and-report role. Youll work closely with the CFO to improve processes, standardize reporting, strengthen controls, and help scale the accounting function across multiple operating companies. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, building better systems, and creating a finance organization that can grow with the business.

Our platform currently includes 10 operating companies , with additional companies expected to join. The environment is dynamic, acquisition-driven, and operationally complex. We are also in the middle of a Sage Intacct implementation , so this role will play a major part in helping shape how accounting runs across the platform going forward.

What Youll Do

Own the close and reporting process

• Lead the monthly close across multiple operating companies
• Ensure timely, accurate, and GAAP-compliant financial reporting
• Maintain strong balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and reporting discipline
• Improve the consistency and repeatability of month-end processes

Build scalable accounting processes

• Standardize accounting workflows, policies, and SOPs across the platform
• Improve visibility and consistency across different entities, systems, and charts of accounts
• Support accounting for job costing, WIP, percentage-of-completion, accruals, fixed assets, and lease accounting
• Help create a finance function that can support continued growth and acquisitions

Help optimize Sage Intacct

• Support the design and optimization of the Sage Intacct platform
• Help standardize charts of accounts, dimensions, reporting structures, and workflows
• Partner on system configuration, process alignment, and accounting best practices
• Assist with onboarding operating companies into a more standardized financial environment

Partner across the platform

• Work closely with the CFO and operating company leaders
• Provide actionable reporting and financial clarity to leadership
• Help coach and support accounting staff, bookkeepers, and local finance resources across the organization
• Contribute to integration efforts as new companies are brought into the platform

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• Month-end close becomes more reliable, timely, and repeatable across entities
• Sage Intacct is operational and positioned to scale across the platform
• Core accounting processes are better documented and standardized
• Reporting quality and visibility improve for both leadership and operating companies
• The accounting team structure becomes stronger and more scalable

What Were Looking For

Experience

• Strong accounting background, ideally in a multi-entity or public accounting environment
• Experience leading or supporting monthly close and financial reporting
• Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct
• Experience with QuickBooks Desktop
• Strong Excel and data skills
• Solid command of GAAP, including:
• Accrual accounting
• WIP / percentage-of-completion
• Fixed assets and depreciation
• ASC 842 lease accounting
• Acquisition-related accounting concepts

Nice to Have

• Exposure to construction, mechanical services, field services, or multi-location operating environments
• Familiarity with tools such as BuildOps, ServiceTitan, or Sage Construction Management
• Experience helping standardize or improve systems during periods of growth or change

Who You Are

• Hands-on and willing to dive into the details
• Comfortable operating in an evolving environment
• Process-minded, but practical
• Naturally organized and solutions-oriented
• Curious, proactive, and persistent
• Able to work well across teams and personalities
• Calm under pressure and focused on getting things done the right way
