Why This Controller Opportunity Stands Out

This Controller opportunity offers the chance to join a well-established and growing Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) organization in a highly visible leadership role.

  • Manage and develop a team of accounting professionals
  • Oversee budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and financial analysis
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP and internal control requirements
  • Partner with executive leadership to provide financial insights and recommendations
  • Drive process improvements and accounting efficiencies across the organization
  • Support audits, tax compliance, and external reporting requirements

Qualifications For The Controller

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 8 years of progressive accounting experience with leadership responsibilities
  • AEC industry experience required
  • Deltek Vantagepoint experience required
  • Strong understanding of project accounting, WIP reporting, and revenue recognition
  • Experience leading accounting teams and improving processes
  • CPA preferred but not required

Work Environment & Benefits

  • Hybrid schedule
  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture
