Controller – Construction – 5583

Controller – Construction

Location: Cincinnati, OH

Salary: $110,000 – $140,000

A profitable and rapidly expanding specialty construction organization is seeking a Controller to help lead its next phase of growth.

This company has already achieved significant revenue expansion and is positioned for continued, intentional scale over the next five years. The leadership team is experienced, strategic, and deeply committed to building something enduring – not just bigger, but stronger.

If you are a construction finance professional who wants influence, visibility, and a real seat at the table, this is that opportunity.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a back-office reporting job.

This is a build-and-shape leadership position inside a company that is scaling aggressively and thoughtfully. Revenue has grown substantially and leadership has a clear roadmap toward exponential expansion.

The person stepping into this role will help architect the financial infrastructure that supports that growth.

As the company scales, there is a natural path toward a future CFO-level role for the right leader.

What You’ll Lead

• Full ownership of the accounting and finance function

• Supervision and development of the accounting team

• Cash flow forecasting and working capital management

• Job costing and percentage-of-completion accounting

• Project margin visibility and risk analysis

• Financial reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)

• Budgeting, rolling forecasts, and KPI development

• Banking relationships, bonding, and credit management

• Internal controls and GAAP compliance

• Strategic partnership with operations and executive leadership

You will work directly with strong, compassionate, knowledgeable leadership that values collaboration and long-term thinking.

Systems Environment

• Procore (construction management and job cost)

• Foundation (GL and accounting)

• Integrated systems environment

• Payroll outsourced

Procore experience is a strong plus.

What You Must Bring

• Direct construction accounting experience (required)

• Expertise in job costing and percentage-of-completion

• Experience leading or supervising an accounting team

• Strong cash flow management skills

• Ability to operate in a growth environment

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance

Experience from specialty trades such as electrical, concrete, HVAC, or related construction sectors is highly valued.

CPA or CMA preferred but not required.

Compensation & Benefits

• $110,000–$150,000 base

• 4 weeks PTO

• 100% employer-paid benefits

• High visibility and growth opportunity

• Long-term upside as the organization scales

Equity is not part of the initial offer but could become part of future discussions for the right long-term partner.
