Construction Assistant Controller

Overview for the Assistant Controller

We’re working with a growing construction company looking to bring on a Controller to work closely with ownership and help guide the business through its next phase.

This is a newly created role tied to growth, not backfill. The company has been steadily expanding and is at a point where they need a strong financial leader to help bring structure, support decision-making, and scale what’s already working.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out for the Assistant Controller

• Company revenue growth from $30M to $45M, with projections of $50M+ in the near term
• Significant expansion opportunities, including new markets and service lines
• Direct partnership with an owner/operator with 30+ years of success
• Opportunity to build and shape the finance function during a key transition period
• Stable organization with a long track record of consistent bonuses

Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller

• Partner directly with ownership on financial strategy and day-to-day decisions
• Oversee the full accounting and finance function across multiple entities
• Own cash flow, forecasting, and financial planning
• Review project performance and profitability across jobs
• Lead budgeting and forecasting, and build out more forward-looking financial models
• Put processes in place that can support continued growth and higher volume
• Work closely with operations around costing, pricing, and investment decisions
• Manage and develop the accounting team while keeping the culture collaborative and low-key

Preferred Qualifications for the Assistant Controller

• Proven experience in a CFO, VP Finance, or high-level Controller/Finance leadership role
• Strong background in construction or project-based industries
• Demonstrated ability to support and scale a company through rapid growth
• Strong financial acumen combined with business strategy mindset
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field
