Job Description

Most Controllers I talk to in construction say the same thing:

“I want to be closer to the business — not just closing the books every month.”

If that sounds familiar, this may be worth a quick conversation.

A growing $35M+ industrial construction and services company near Lynchburg, VA, is hiring a Controller to partner closely with the President and leadership team.

This role sits in the middle of operations and finance, helping leadership understand project performance and make better decisions as the company continues to grow.

What you’d be responsible for:

• Leading accounting and financial operations
• Managing WIP / project accounting and reporting
• Budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning
• Cash management and banking relationships
• Providing financial visibility into project performance across multiple locations

The background that fits best:

✔ Construction or project-based accounting experience
✔ Strong WIP and accrual accounting knowledge
✔ Someone comfortable working closely with operations leadership

Why people tend to like opportunities like this:

• Direct partnership with ownership and leadership
• Growing industrial services business with strong demand
• Finance actually helps drive the business forward

If you're a Controller who enjoys seeing the operational side of the numbers, this is worth a conversation.
