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
