Job Description

Controller


Salary: $140,000-$155,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Our client is a respected Wisconsin builder known for quality, innovation, sustainable building practices, and thoughtfully designed communities. They are adding a Controller to lead accounting and financial operations while partnering with leadership to drive continued growth and profitability.

  • This is an opportunity to step into a visible leadership role where you can influence business decisions, strengthen financial processes, and make a meaningful impact on the organization.

  • Join a collaborative, team-oriented culture that values employee contributions, continuous improvement, communication, and giving back to the community.

  • Enjoy the opportunity to work in a hybrid capacity with a team that values work life balance.


Key Responsibilities:



  • Lead monthly and annual financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and financial analysis to support business performance.

  • Oversee core accounting operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, job costing, internal controls, and accounting procedures.

  • Manage annual audits, tax preparation, and compliance while ensuring accurate financial reporting in accordance with GAAP.

  • Develop, mentor, and lead the accounting team while identifying opportunities to improve processes, systems, and reporting efficiencies.


Qualifications:



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, along with a CPA or CMA designation.

  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership or supervisory responsibilities and strong knowledge of GAAP, budgeting, internal controls, and cost accounting.
