Controller

Job Description

Controller | Construction | High-Growth

140-165K plus Bonus

Ready to build something bigger than just the books?

Legacy Search Advisors is partnering with a fast-growing construction firm on a Controller search—a role designed for someone who wants a seat at the table as the company scales through strategic expansion.

This is not a “keep the lights on” Controller role. This is a builder’s role .

The Opportunity

You’ll own and elevate the entire accounting function while acting as a financial leader to the executive team—bringing clarity, control, and insight as the business grows.

\n
• Lead day-to-day accounting operations (GL, close, reporting, controls)
\n
• Drive process improvement & scalability
\n
• Partner with leadership on forecasting, cash flow, and strategic decisions
\n
• Play a key role in M&A activity—due diligence, integration, and financial alignment
\n
• Build and mentor a high-performing accounting team
\n

Why This Role Stands Out

\n
• Growth trajectory: Company is actively pursuing acquisitions and expansion
\n
• Visibility: Direct exposure to executive leadership and ownership
\n
• Impact: Help shape financial infrastructure during a critical scale phase
\n
• Industry: Construction—where strong Controllers are critical to managing complex project financials
\n

The Ideal Profile

\n
• Controller (or strong Accounting Manager ready to step up)
\n
• Construction / project-based accounting experience (WIP, revenue recognition, job costing)
\n
• Proven ability to build processes in a growing environment
\n
• CPA strongly preferred
\n

This is a high-priority, strategic hire tied to upcoming growth initiatives. More details will be shared directly with qualified candidates.
