About the Opportunity:

We are partnering with a premier, high-volume specialty construction subcontractor in Nevada to recruit an experienced Controller to serve as the financial backbone of their regional operations.

This is a high-visibility, hands-on individual contributor role ideal for a sharp accounting leader who thrives in fast-paced construction environments. Working directly alongside operational project leaders across five distinct field divisions, you will own the numbers, safeguard financial accuracy, and drive profitability through disciplined job-cost and Work-in-Progress (WIP) accounting.

What You’ll Do:

• Own WIP & Job Cost Accounting: Manage, analyze, and reconcile Work-in-Progress (WIP) schedules across five active operational teams, ensuring accurate over/under billings and timely month-end closes.
• Drive Full-Cycle Accounting & Reporting: Oversee day-to-day general ledger integrity, cash management, fixed assets, A/R, A/P, and payroll functions, delivering clear monthly financial packages to executive leadership.
• Protect Cash Flow & Margins: Monitor working capital needs, enforce strong billing and collections practices, and partner with operational managers to control project costs.
• Budgeting & Financial Controls: Build and track monthly and annual operating budgets while strengthening internal controls and accounting policies.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure timely, accurate filing of all required state and federal regulatory, tax, and compliance reports.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven Controller Experience: 3+ years of direct experience serving as a Financial Controller (or a seasoned Assistant Controller ready to take full divisional ownership).
• Construction WIP Mastery: Non-negotiable hands-on expertise managing construction Work-in-Progress schedules and percentage-of-completion accounting.
• Education & Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related business field (CPA or Master’s degree is a strong plus).
• Technical & Analytical Edge: Advanced Excel/Microsoft Office proficiency and sharp analytical skills.
• Communication & Adaptability: Able to juggle multiple competing priorities under tight deadlines without sacrificing accuracy; bilingual proficiency (English/Spanish) is a plus.
• Compliance: Must be able to pass a mandatory pre-employment drug screening.

Compensation & Perks:

• Base Salary: $110,000 – $135,000 per year (commensurate with experience)
• Bonus: 10% annual bonus potential (tied to company profitability; prorated in Year 1)
• Paid Time Off: 3 weeks of PTO annually (prorated in Year 1) + 7 paid company holidays
• Health & Wellness: Choice of 3 Medical PPO plans, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, Supplemental Coverage, and EAP (eligible after 90 days)
