CFS
Bakersfield, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/25/2026
Salary: $100,000 – $120,000 Recognition-Based Bonus

About The Company

This is an opportunity to join a well-established and financially sound construction services company with over 50 years of proven success. The organization is known for its strong leadership, operational excellence, and a genuinely supportive, family-oriented culture where employees build long-term careers.

You’ll step into a key leadership role overseeing accounting operations across multiple entities, with strong visibility to company leadership and the ability to influence financial strategy and decision-making.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Stable, reputable company with decades of success
  • Supportive, team-oriented culture with low turnover
  • Opportunity to lead, mentor, and shape the accounting function
  • High-impact role with direct exposure to leadership
  • Competitive compensation plus performance-based bonus

What You’ll Be Doing

As Controller, you will lead the accounting function and ensure the accuracy, integrity, and efficiency of financial operations across multiple entities.

Key Responsibilities Include

  • Overseeing general ledger, WIP reporting, and project accounting across three related companies
  • Managing and developing a team of 3 (including clerks and a staff accountant)
  • Leading month-end and year-end close processes with a focus on accuracy and timeliness
  • Supporting construction accounting and project-based financial reporting
  • Strengthening internal controls and improving accounting processes (Vista experience preferred)
  • Partnering with leadership to provide financial insights and support strategic decisions
  • Assisting with audits, compliance, and regulatory reporting

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Background in construction, project accounting, or WIP strongly preferred
  • Prior leadership experience managing or mentoring a team
  • Strong understanding of financial reporting, controls, and process improvement
  • Detail-oriented, proactive, and collaborative

If you’re looking for an opportunity to step into a Controller role where you can lead, influence, and grow within a stable organization, this could be a strong fit.
