Job description

Since 1946, Brady West has been a leader in specialty subcontracting. Guided by respect, integrity, growth, honesty, and teamwork, we are deeply committed to delivering unmatched quality and expertise.

Controller, Construction Accounting

Reports To: Business Unit President
Salary Range: $130,000 - $170,000 depending on experience

About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Controller to lead accounting operations and financial reporting for our growing construction business. Reporting directly to the Business Unit President, this role is both strategic and operational. You will serve as a key business partner to leadership, oversee day-to-day accounting operations, and help drive financial performance across the organization.

This is a hands-on leadership role. While the position carries Controller-level responsibility, the successful candidate must enjoy being actively involved in the day-to-day accounting operation, partnering closely with the business, and leading and developing a team.

While this role supports a business operating unit, it is backed by the resources, support, and expertise of a larger Shared Services organization.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with the Business Unit President and leadership team to support business strategy and decision-making.
  • Lead monthly close, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, GAAP, and applicable regulations.
  • Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, collections, payroll accounting, and local banking activities.
  • Manage job costing, contract billings, change orders, revenue recognition, and project financial reporting.
  • Monitor cash flow, project profitability, and financial performance.
  • Maintain effective internal controls and identify opportunities for process improvement.
  • Lead, coach, and develop accounting team members.
  • Partner with organization Shared Services and operations teams to improve reporting, systems, and business processes.
  • Support organizational growth and change initiatives.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 5+ years of construction accounting experience with companies in excess of $50MM in annual revenue.
  • Prior leadership experience managing and developing a team.
  • Strong understanding of construction accounting, job costing, billing, payroll, and financial reporting.
  • Experience with budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience working within ERP systems (Penta preferred; Plexxis, ViewPoint and similar ERPs OK).
  • Strong verbal and written communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
  • CPA and bilingual Spanish skills are a plus.

Who Will Thrive Here

This role is ideal for someone who…

  • Enjoys both leadership and hands-on execution.
  • Can build strong relationships across accounting, operations, and field teams.
  • Is comfortable navigating change and helping teams adapt.
  • Is technology savvy and continuously seeks improvements.
  • Is great with Microsoft Excel and navigating an ERP.
  • Brings a practical, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to solving problems.
  • Wants to make a visible impact during an exciting period of growth.

Why Join Us

  • Direct partnership with the Business Unit President.
  • Opportunity to help shape the future of a growing specialty construction organization backed by 80+ years of experience and a solid reputation.
  • Collaborative leadership team and supportive culture.
  • Culture built on Respect, Integrity, Growth, Honesty, and Teamwork.
  • Competitive Medical plan offerings.
  • 50 work-from-home days per year plus a dedicated office in Irvine.
