Construction Controller
Commercial Construction (Future Opportunities)
San Francisco Bay Area | Full-time | On-site or Hybrid (role dependent)
Building Talent partners with commercial construction firms across the San Francisco Bay Area on ongoing and upcoming Controller-level accounting leadership searches.
This posting reflects roles we regularly support as contractors grow, ownership structures evolve, or long-tenured Controllers plan for succession.
These are senior, hands-on leadership roles within mid-sized commercial general contractors and specialty contractors. The Controller serves as a key partner to ownership and operations — overseeing project accounting, financial reporting, cash flow, and internal controls while leading accounting teams through increasing complexity.
We are specifically seeking professionals with direct construction industry accounting leadership experience. Corporate or non-project-based Controller backgrounds are not a fit for these roles.

Let’s Chat.
Note: These roles are based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Candidates should currently reside locally or be able to reliably work on-site as required. U.S. work authorization is required.
