About the Companies

Liteworks Window & Door is a premier distributor and retailer of custom windows and doors for high-end residential and commercial projects throughout the Southeast, with locations in Atlanta, Charleston, and St. Simons. Atlanta Specialty Millwork (ASM), a Liteworks company, provides curated millwork, materials, hardware, and craftsmanship for the region's most distinctive homes. Together, Liteworks and ASM represent a combined enterprise of more than $20 million in annual revenue and a fast-growing platform serving builders, architects, designers, and homeowners across the Southeast.

Liteworks and ASM are portfolio companies of The Macallan Group, an Atlanta-based holding company that provides equity and operating expertise to a diversified portfolio of businesses across construction, real estate, investments, millwork, and specialty distribution.

About the Role

Liteworks and ASM are seeking an experienced, hands-on Controller to lead the combined finance and accounting function for both businesses. This is a high-visibility role with a dual reporting line to the Managing Partner of Liteworks/ASM and the Chief Financial Officer of The Macallan Group, offering broad exposure to operations, executive leadership, and the wider Macallan portfolio.

The Controller will own the day-to-day accounting close, financial reporting, internal controls, and inventory accountability for a multi-location distribution and millwork operation. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building a clean trial balance and walking the warehouse floor - pairing technical accounting discipline with a willingness to roll up sleeves, count product, and partner with operations to drive accuracy, margin, and cash flow.

The majority of the Controller's time will be spent on-site at the Atlanta Industrial warehouse alongside the Liteworks/ASM operations team, with regular time at The Macallan Group corporate office on Powers Ferry for reporting, planning, and collaboration with the Macallan finance team.
