About The Position

This is not your typical Controller role. If you think a Controller's job ends at closing the books and making sure everything ties out, this isn't that job. We're the combination of two mature, successful construction firms building an AI-forward organization. We're looking for a financial leader who wants to help us rethink what Accounting can be. You'll lead our Accounting team and partner with the CFO, Director of Business Intelligence, Operations, Project Management, and leaders across the company. You'll make sure the numbers are right-and help us understand what they mean, why they matter, and what to do about them.
