About the role

A fast-growing, high-end construction company is looking for a Financial Controller who can wear multiple hats and thrive in a fast-paced environment. If you’re a construction accounting pro who’s as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are collaborating with project managers, this might be your perfect fit.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead all financial operations and provide strategic insight to ownership
  • Manage job costing, WIP schedules, holdbacks, and percentage-of-completion accounting
  • Develop and maintain accurate budgets, forecasts, and cash flow projections
  • Oversee A/P, A/R, and payroll, and coordinate with external accountants
  • Support project teams with real-time financial data and analysis
  • Lead the month-end and year-end close process
  • Implement and improve financial systems, policies, and internal controls

What We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years of accounting experience, with 3+ years in the construction industry
  • In-depth knowledge of construction-specific accounting practices
  • Strong grasp of job costing, lien holdbacks, and progress billing
  • Proficiency in accounting platforms (Quickbooks)
  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills
  • A proactive, team-oriented mindset—this is not a siloed role
  • CPA designation is an asset, but not required if experience speaks for itself

Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Be part of a company with big growth plans and a collaborative culture
  • Work closely with decision-makers—your insights will drive the business forward
  • Dynamic environment with a variety of projects (custom homes, commercial builds, and more)
  • Clear opportunity for impact, leadership, and growth

This is more than a financial role—it’s a seat at the table.
If you're ready to bring your construction finance expertise into a company that values initiative, transparency, and teamwork, we want to hear from you.

Apply now with your resume and a short note telling us why you’d be a great fit!
