Job Summary

Heritage MEP is looking for a hands-on Controller to help build the finance infrastructure for a growing multi-entity mechanical services platform.

This is not just a traditional close-and-report role. You’ll work closely with the CFO to improve processes, standardize reporting, strengthen controls, and help scale the accounting function across multiple operating companies. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, building better systems, and creating a finance organization that can grow with the business.

Our platform currently includes 10 operating companies, with additional companies expected to join. The environment is dynamic, acquisition-driven, and operationally complex. We are also in the middle of a Sage Intacct implementation, so this role will play a major part in helping shape how accounting runs across the platform going forward.

What You’ll Do

Own the close and reporting process

  • Lead the monthly close across multiple operating companies
  • Ensure timely, accurate, and GAAP-compliant financial reporting
  • Maintain strong balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and reporting discipline
  • Improve the consistency and repeatability of month-end processes
Build scalable accounting processes

  • Standardize accounting workflows, policies, and SOPs across the platform
  • Improve visibility and consistency across different entities, systems, and charts of accounts
  • Support accounting for job costing, WIP, percentage-of-completion, accruals, fixed assets, and lease accounting
  • Help create a finance function that can support continued growth and acquisitions
Help optimize Sage Intacct

  • Support the design and optimization of the Sage Intacct platform
  • Help standardize charts of accounts, dimensions, reporting structures, and workflows
  • Partner on system configuration, process alignment, and accounting best practices
  • Assist with onboarding operating companies into a more standardized financial environment
Partner across the platform

  • Work closely with the CFO and operating company leaders
  • Provide actionable reporting and financial clarity to leadership
  • Help coach and support accounting staff, bookkeepers, and local finance resources across the organization
  • Contribute to integration efforts as new companies are brought into the platform
What Success Looks Like in Year One

  • Month-end close becomes more reliable, timely, and repeatable across entities
  • Sage Intacct is operational and positioned to scale across the platform
  • Core accounting processes are better documented and standardized
  • Reporting quality and visibility improve for both leadership and operating companies
  • The accounting team structure becomes stronger and more scalable

What We’re Looking For

Experience

  • Strong accounting background, ideally in a multi-entity or public accounting environment
  • Experience leading or supporting monthly close and financial reporting
  • Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct
  • Experience with QuickBooks Desktop
  • Strong Excel and data skills
  • Solid command of GAAP, including:
  • Accrual accounting
  • WIP / percentage-of-completion
  • Fixed assets and depreciation
  • ASC 842 lease accounting
  • Acquisition-related accounting concepts

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to construction, mechanical services, field services, or multi-location operating environments
  • Familiarity with tools such as BuildOps, ServiceTitan, or Sage Construction Management
  • Experience helping standardize or improve systems during periods of growth or change

Who You Are

  • Hands-on and willing to dive into the details
  • Comfortable operating in an evolving environment
  • Process-minded, but practical
  • Naturally organized and solutions-oriented
  • Curious, proactive, and persistent
  • Able to work well across teams and personalities
  • Calm under pressure and focused on getting things done the right way
