About the Role

We are working with a fast-growing, private equity-backed company with four U.S. regions and a national presence in a project-based services environment. Due to steady growth and internal restructuring, they are hiring onepossibly twoControllers to help oversee a busy regional structure. We've already placed four professionals on their accounting team this year, all of whom were hired due to expansion.

This is a high-impact, visible role with strong collaboration across operations, sales, HR, and shared services. Reporting directly to the VP of Accounting, this individual will step into an evolving environment where structure is still being built. The ideal candidate enjoys bringing order to chaos, has strong technical skills, and thrives in less-than-perfect systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the monthly close process, reconciliations, and financial reporting
  • Support annual audit processes and prepare relevant tax and audit schedules
  • Implement and enforce accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
  • Support revenue recognition using Percentage of Completion (POC) 606
  • Perform project cost analysis, including standard costing and variance tracking
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to improve accounting workflows and reporting
  • Help integrate financial processes across multiple entities (6+ companies involved)
  • Work within a multidimensional structure (multi-location, department, and project-based)
  • Help scale accounting systemsSage Intacct highly desired; SAP experience also welcomed

Ideal Background

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting; CPA preferred but not required
  • 57+ years in senior accounting or controller roles within distribution, manufacturing, or construction
  • Strong technical accounting skills in general ledger, balance sheets, and standard costing
  • Expertise in project accounting and revenue recognition (POC 606)
  • Experience managing or contributing to accounting for $150M+ in revenue preferred
  • Background with larger, structured organizations is ideal, but must be adaptable to ambiguity
  • Public accounting experience is a plus
  • Prior exposure to private equity-backed environments a bonus

Personal Traits

  • Confident and hands-onready to roll up sleeves
  • Not afraid to operate in an imperfect system and drive improvements
  • Excellent communicator who can bridge finance and operations
  • Can handle high expectations from senior stakeholders while bringing a collaborative approach
  • Positive, proactive mindset with a passion for building structure and accountability

Team & Structure

  • Each region has 34 accounting professionals, totaling 1215 nationally
  • This role will oversee a Southwest-focused region and directly manage 24 team members
  • Reports to the VP of Accounting

Work Environment

  • Hybrid setup: in-office required Wednesdays and Thursdays (more if desired)
  • Immediate needseeking candidates ready to start right away
  • Culture: growing but still developing; not yet a "well-oiled machine," so flexibility is key

Next Step

If you're excited by dynamic, growing environments and have the right mix of technical accounting expertise and leadership maturity, we'd love to speak with you. Be prepared to share your company's annual revenue and ownership structure to ensure alignment.
