Controller

Position Overview
Our client, a private equity-backed engineering consulting firm, is seeking a hands-on Controller to lead and transform the accounting function as the business scales. The company is undergoing a significant evolution—from cash-basis accounting to full GAAP compliance—in preparation for its first audit and continued growth from ~$20M to $40–50M in revenue over the next 3–5 years.
This role is critical in building a scalable financial infrastructure, implementing proper revenue recognition (percentage-of-completion), and establishing strong internal controls. The Controller will operate with a high degree of autonomy and serve as the functional owner of all accounting operations.
Key Responsibilities
Accounting Transformation & Compliance

Lead the transition from cash-basis to GAAP-compliant accounting, including revenue recognition for project-based work
Prepare the organization for its first external audit (target: 2026)
Establish and document internal controls, policies, and procedures

Financial Operations

Own the month-end close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
Oversee general ledger, payroll, AP/AR, and financial reporting
Implement and manage percentage-of-completion/project accounting

Systems & Process Improvement

Play a key role in ERP transition from Sage 50 to Deltek VantagePoint
Build scalable processes to support a growing, project-based consulting business
Drive improvements in financial visibility, reporting, and operational efficiency

Leadership & Partnership

Act as the day-to-day accounting leader, operating independently with minimal oversight
Partner with the CFO and executive team to support growth, margin improvement, and expansion initiatives
Support private equity stakeholders with reporting and financial insights

Required Qualifications

CPA required (or equivalent technical accounting expertise)
8–12+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership roles
Strong experience with GAAP, revenue recognition, and audit readiness
Proven ability to build processes, controls, and scalable accounting infrastructure
Hands-on mindset—comfortable operating both strategically and tactically
Experience managing month-end close and full accounting cycle independently

Preferred Experience

Background in engineering, consulting, construction, or other project-based businesses
Experience with percentage-of-completion accounting
Exposure to PE-backed or high-growth middle-market companies
ERP implementation or migration experience (Deltek VantagePoint a plus)

What Success Looks Like

Clean, audit-ready financials within 6–12 months
Successful transition to GAAP and project-based accounting
ERP implementation completed with minimal disruption
Scalable accounting infrastructure supporting rapid growth
Strong financial discipline and visibility across the organization

Additional Context

This is a high-impact, build-and-scale role—ideal for someone who enjoys creating structure in a fast-moving environment
The Controller will have full ownership of accounting operations and must be comfortable operating independently
The company is expanding into new markets (hospitality, healthcare, government), creating meaningful growth opportunity
