Controller

Emergency Restoration Experts•Charlotte, NC

About The Position

Since 2013, Emergency Restoration Xperts (ERX) has helped homeowners and businesses across the Carolinas recover from fire, water, storm, and mold damage — and rebuild stronger. We're a family-owned company that moves fast, cares deeply about the people we serve, and invests in the people who serve them. As we grow, we're looking for a Controller who wants to do more than close the books: someone who wants to help lead a company through its next chapter. The Controller leads ERX's accounting function and owns the accuracy and integrity of our financial data. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll direct financial reporting, budgeting, and internal controls; coach and develop a growing accounting team; and partner closely with executive leadership and operations to make sure our numbers tell the real story of the business — and help shape what comes next. You'll also work cross-functionally with Payroll/HR to ensure bonus, commission, and incentive compensation is calculated and paid accurately.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience leading or supervising a team.
Construction or restoration industry accounting experience is required; insurance restoration billing or TPA/Contractor Connection experience is a strong plus.
Strong command of job costing, WIP reporting, and progress billing.
Advanced Excel skills; experience with NetSuite, Paylocity, DASH, or Albi preferred.
A leader who communicates financial information clearly to both executives and non-financial partners, and who holds a team accountable with care.

Responsibilities

Direct all accounting operations, ensuring accurate, timely financial reporting and month-end close.
Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team, holding the group accountable to clear goals and standards.
Partner with executive leadership to build the annual budget, forecast cash flow, and deliver executive dashboards on revenue, gross profit, EBITDA, and more.
Own job costing and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting to ensure accurate revenue recognition and project profitability.
Oversee accounts receivable and collections, and support organization-wide cash flow initiatives.
Partner with Payroll to ensure bonus, commission, and incentive payments are accurate and on time.
Coordinate with outside CPA firms and auditors, and keep ERX ahead of changing financial and tax requirements.
