Assistant Controller
The Assistant Controller is a senior-level accounting professional responsible for overseeing daily accounting operations and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting within a construction-focused environment. Reporting to the Director of Accounting, this role manages accounting staff, supports executive leadership with financial insights, and ensures compliance with GAAP, including percentage-of-completion revenue recognition and other construction-specific accounting functions. This position also plays a key role in strengthening internal controls, improving processes, and supporting strategic decision-making. The ideal candidate is collaborative, detail-oriented, and an effective communicator.
Responsibilities

· Help lead month-end and year-end close processes. Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, trial balances, and financial statements to ensure accuracy and GAAP compliance.
· Manage revenue recognition for construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Maintain work-in-progress schedules, review job cost reports, and ensure accurate costing of labor, materials, and overhead.
· Assist with annual budgeting and forecasting. Monitor actual results against budget, investigate major variances, and provide explanations and recommendations to leadership.
· Analyze financial results and key performance indicators to support decision-making. Prepare reports and dashboards covering project profitability, cash flow, and ad hoc business analyses.
· Maintain strong internal controls, accounting policies, and compliance with regulatory and corporate requirements. Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency and accuracy.
· Serve as a primary contact for auditors during external audits and internal reviews. Prepare audit schedules, provide documentation, and address audit findings through corrective improvements.
· Oversee ERP and accounting system usage to ensure effective reporting and analysis. Support system upgrades, implementations, staff training, and process streamlining initiatives.
· Support compliance with tax and legal requirements, including sales/use tax, property tax, licensing, insurance, lien waivers, and other contract-related obligations.
