A growth-focused home improvement company that has scaled from the ground up to $46M+ across multiple states — and is in active expansion mode with a vision to scale nationally — is seeking a strategic Controller ready to operate as a true business partner, not just a numbers-and-close function. This role reports directly to the President and is structured as a deliberate stepping stone to CFO for a candidate with strong financial instincts, a growth mindset, and the ambition to scale a business. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Strategic Finance and Analytics
• Serve as the financial thought partner to ownership, translating operational data into actionable business insights
• Build models and conduct trend analysis to identify risks, margin gaps, and growth opportunities
• Bring a forward-looking perspective to performance monitoring — surface issues before they materialize
• Accounting Operations and Controls
• Own the full month-end close process and maintain general ledger integrity
• Manage job costing and project-level P&L tracking across a field-based, multi-location operation
• Scale accounting controls and policies in line with rapid company growth
• Team and Systems Leadership
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of accounting and finance professionals
• Partner on ERP and systems improvements to modernize workflows and automate reporting
• Build the financial infrastructure that supports a CFO-level function over time

REQUIREMENTS

• 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, with 3+ years as a Controller or senior accounting leader
• CPA strongly preferred
• Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and trend analysis skills — not purely transactional
• Experience in a project-based, multi-location, or operationally complex environment
• Clear upward trajectory toward a CFO role — growth mindset is non-negotiable
• People management experience

Preferred

• ERP implementation or optimization experience
• Multi-state operations experience

BENEFITS

• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Performance bonus
