Title: Corporate Controller

Reports to: Chief Financial Officer

Job Type: Full Time, Exempt

Location: See Locations Below

At IOS™, we're not just another supplier. We're a Commercial Openings System Integrator. We own it all: estimating, budgeting, project management, fabrication, installation, integration, and service, with solving customer problems as our guiding light. That "one team, zero finger-pointing" mindset shapes how we work, and how we hire. Our people move across four modes: Build, Fix, Upgrade, Maintain, so no two days look the same. From doors and frames to millwork, building specialties (Division 10), gate access, and access control: built to code, built to last, no shortcuts. And we're growing our national footprint, with real opportunity for people who want to grow with us.

Purpose

The Corporate Controller is a senior finance leader for a private equity–backed, multi-entity, high-growth company in the commercial openings sector. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role has overall ownership of the accuracy and integrity of the Company’s financial accounting and reporting, and leads the financial controls, cash management and Treasury, external audit, and Shared Services (including Accounts Payable and Payroll) functions.

This position will play a critical role in building a scalable, well-controlled accounting foundation – standardizing accounting processes, policies, charts of accounts, and financial discipline across newly acquired businesses, and ensuring the Company consistently meets the expectations of its PE sponsor, lenders, and auditors. The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting expertise in a construction environment, a controls mindset, and experience thriving in a fast-paced, sponsor-backed setting.

The Corporate Controller leads and develops the accounting team, driving consistency, integrity, and continuous improvement in financial practices across the organization.
