Description

About the Role

The Controller leads ERX's accounting function and owns the accuracy and integrity of our financial data. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll direct financial reporting, budgeting, and internal controls; coach and develop a growing accounting team; and partner closely with executive leadership and operations to make sure our numbers tell the real story of the business - and help shape what comes next. You'll also work cross-functionally with Payroll/HR to ensure bonus, commission, and incentive compensation is calculated and paid accurately.

What You'll Do

  • Direct all accounting operations, ensuring accurate, timely financial reporting and month-end close.
  • Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team, holding the group accountable to clear goals and standards.
  • Partner with executive leadership to build the annual budget, forecast cash flow, and deliver executive dashboards on revenue, gross profit, EBITDA, and more.
  • Own job costing and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting to ensure accurate revenue recognition and project profitability.
  • Oversee accounts receivable and collections, and support organization-wide cash flow initiatives.
  • Partner with Payroll to ensure bonus, commission, and incentive payments are accurate and on time.
  • Coordinate with outside CPA firms and auditors, and keep ERX ahead of changing financial and tax requirements.
  • Drive continuous improvement across accounting systems and processes, including NetSuite, Paylocity, DASH, and Albi.

What you Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience leading or supervising a team.
  • Construction or restoration industry accounting experience is required; insurance restoration billing or TPA/Contractor Connection experience is a strong plus.
  • Strong command of job costing, WIP reporting, and progress billing.
  • Advanced Excel skills; experience with NetSuite, Paylocity, DASH, or Albi preferred.
  • A leader who communicates financial information clearly to both executives and non-financial partners, and who holds a team accountable with care.

Ready to Lead Our Accounting Team
