Controller

Dominion Siding Inc • Mount Juliet, TN

32d • $135 - $145

About The Position

This Controller will lead the Accounting team at a growing organization formed from two established construction firms serving the multi-family and single-family industries. The role goes beyond traditional accounting and reporting: it will help build an AI-forward organization and rethink how Accounting works. The Controller will partner with the CFO, Director of Business Intelligence, Operations, Project Management, and leaders across the company to ensure accurate financial information and turn it into insight and action.

The position is suited to an accounting-minded finance professional who is analytical, curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated to improve processes and systems. Construction accounting experience is preferred but not required. The successful candidate will lead an established six-person team and help create a faster, more efficient close; improve visibility into work in progress, margins, costs, and performance; strengthen controls without unnecessary bureaucracy; reduce manual work; and apply AI and automation practically throughout Accounting.

Responsibilities

• Own month-end close, consolidation, and financial reporting, meeting tight deadlines while maintaining accuracy.

• Coordinate the annual plan and provide the CFO and Director of Business Intelligence with timely, accurate information for cash management, forecasting, and decision-making.
• Maintain strong financial controls and oversee audit and tax requirements.
• Lead a six-person team across Accounting, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable, developing accountability and continuous improvement.
