Corporate Controller

Rally X • Jacksonville, FL

22d

About The Position

Rally is a growing management company that owns and operates a diverse portfolio of businesses spanning five verticals: healthcare, humanitarian initiatives, residential and commercial construction, impact-driven ventures, and fleet repair services. Our construction division is a cornerstone of that portfolio, and it requires disciplined financial leadership to scale with strength. Grounded in our faith-forward approach, we are committed to stewardship, operational excellence, and meaningful impact in the communities we serve. We are seeking a strategic, high-capacity Corporate Controller to lead the financial engine of our companies. This is not a back-office accounting role. It is a leadership seat at the table. The Controller will own financial clarity across a multi-entity portfolio, drive accountability into every business unit, strengthen the systems and controls those businesses run on, and give leadership the confident, data-informed footing it needs to grow. The right candidate understands construction accounting at a granular level, including job costing, WIP schedules, revenue recognition, and margin protection, and can also step back to see the full strategic picture across a diversified portfolio.

Requirements

• A steady, high-character leader who takes ownership and delivers results.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in corporate accounting, including managing financial operations for a company or portfolio of companies.
• Direct experience in construction accounting: job costing, WIP schedules, and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition.
• Fluency in P&L management, forecasting, budgeting, and project-level financial oversight.
• Strong systems thinking and a track record of building or improving financial processes and controls.
• High proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
• Ability to communicate financial insight clearly and confidently to both operators and executives.
• Motivated by purpose, accountability, and building something meaningful.

• Experience with Sage Intacct or a comparable mid-market ERP system.
• Experience consolidating financials across multiple legal entities or a holding-company structure.
• Prior experience in a multi-vertical, multi-entity, or private equity-backed portfolio environment.
• Experience managing or scaling an accounting team.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process and deliver timely, accurate consolidated financial statements across all portfolio entities.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis, and translate results into performance insight leadership can act on.
• Define and manage the KPIs that drive operational excellence across each vertical, and report on them consistently.
• Own construction accounting operations, including job costing, WIP schedules, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, and project profitability tracking.
• Partner with project managers and field leadership to protect margin, flag cost overruns early, and keep job-level financials current.
• Establish and refine accounting systems, internal controls, and scalable financial processes that can support continued growth and acquisition.
• Own the general ledger structure and chart of accounts across entities, and lead the accounting team’s use of Sage Intacct (or equivalent ERP) as the company scales.
• Identify opportunities to increase margin, reduce waste, and improve cash flow across the portfolio.
• Manage cash positioning, banking relationships, and short-term liquidity planning across multiple entities.
• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, including collections and vendor terms, to protect working capital.
• Ensure compliance, accuracy, and strong internal controls across all financial operations.
• Coordinate annual audits, tax preparation, and regulatory filings with external CPA firms, and serve as the primary internal point of contact for those engagements.
• Maintain insurance, bonding, and lender-reporting compliance for the construction division.
• Build, lead, and develop the accounting and bookkeeping team supporting the portfolio, including staff across individual entities.
• Partner directly with the CEO and executive leadership to guide financial strategy, capital planning, and major business decisions.
