Job Title: Assistant Controller
Position Overview:
The Assistant Controller will play a pivotal role in managing the financial operations of our construction projects. The ideal candidate is a CPA with a mixed background of both public and private accounting, with extensive experience in construction accounting and large ERP systems. While experience with Sage Intacct and QuickBooks is a huge plus, it is not required. Once we complete our software transition to Sage Intacct, a 3/2 hybrid schedule is possible, depending on the individual’s experience and how quickly they acclimate. However, through the end of 2024 until go-live, we will be constrained by physical proximity to the Lakeland office. This position is ideal for someone comfortable in a “startup”/hyper-growth environment, being visible to leadership, and taking an active role in our process improvements. We are perhaps a more challenging environment for a quiet-but-competent person looking to plug into a well-oiled process machine for a company in its maturation phase.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist in overseeing the financial operations and reporting for construction projects.
- Manage the monthly and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
- Prepare and review financial statements, ensuring compliance with GAAP and company policies.
- Coordinate with project managers to track project budgets, costs, and profitability.
- Prepare sales and use tax returns for relevant jurisdictions
- Assist in the preparation of annual budgets and forecasts.
- Conduct variance analysis and provide actionable insights to senior management.
- Support the Controller in maintaining and improving the company’s ERP system (QB to Sage Intacct).
- Mentor and develop junior and admin staff, especially with ERP data entry.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA preferred.
- Experience in the construction industry is required.
- Minimum of 5 years of accounting experience, with a mix of public and private accounting highly preferred but the mix is not required.
- Proficiency in large ERP systems (SAP, NetSuite, Sage 300, Yardi, etc if not QB/Intacct); experience with Sage Intacct and QuickBooks is a huge plus.
- Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- High attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
