Controller

Job Description

We need a high-level, sharp-as-all-get-out Controller to step in for one of our long-standing clients in Lakewood, WA! This candidate would be working 100% on site with the potential to convert to a permanent role.

As the Interim Controller, you would be responsible for:

Rolling up your sleeves to take full ownership of the accounting function

Leading and mentoring a team of 4 (AP, AR, HR/Payroll, Contract Admin)

Running the full close process: month-end, year-end, and everything in between

Managing all things GAAP with accuracy and integrity

Partnering directly with the President and their external audit team

Driving process improvements and internal controls

Overseeing budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting

Handling ad hoc financial analysis and strategic input

Acting as the point person for all things accounting-because no one else is doing it right now!

To be considered for this role, you would need to have:

5+ years of experience as a Controller (or similar small company leadership experience)

A BA/BS in Accounting

Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, etc.)

The ability to lead without hand-holding and create structure from scratch

Jonas Construction software experience is a bonus

CPA or CMA is a nice-to-have, but not required

You'll be joining a company that's been around since the early '80s and has deep roots in the Puget Sound community. The team is small and dedicated, but this is a pivotal time-you'll truly be the backbone of the organization moving forward.

Please tell us you're interested in this by applying and then taking our call! Not quite a Controller but bring solid Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller experience? Please apply anyway-we have more jobs than we can keep up with.
