Location: Remote - United States - Must work in Eastern Standard Time Zone.

About the Role

A growing accounting and advisory firm serving construction contractors is seeking a full-time, permanent Controller to lead its most complex client accounts. This is not your traditional construction controller role. The job is advisory and client-facing. You will lead client meetings, explain WIP and job cost results to owners, and tell them plainly what the numbers say about pricing, overhead, and profitability. You will also direct a bookkeeping team to carry out the work. This is a full-time direct-hire position with the firm, not a contract or fractional engagement.

Responsibilities

• Manage relationships with complex construction and contracting clients.
• Lead client meetings and present financial results clearly, including WIP reports, estimates versus actuals, and cost-to-completion analysis.
• Analyze job costing, overhead, pricing, and profitability, and recommend practical improvements to business owners.
• Direct bookkeeping and accounting team members on required actions and follow-up.
• Develop advisory reporting and dashboards beyond standard QuickBooks Online output.
• Serve as the primary point of coordination between clients and the internal team.

Qualifications

• 7+ years experience in construction accounting or construction finance, including WIP reporting, job costing, and cost-to-completion analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to hold direct, constructive conversations with business owners about financial results.
• Ability to lead and prioritize the work of accounting staff without performing all bookkeeping personally.
• Strong judgment, analytical ability, and communication skills.
• CPA licensure preferred, but is not required.
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
