Ready to build something bigger than just the books?
Legacy Search Advisors is partnering with a fast-growing construction firm on a Controller search—a role designed for someone who wants a seat at the table as the company scales through strategic expansion.
This is not a “keep the lights on” Controller role. This is a builder’s role.
The Opportunity
You’ll own and elevate the entire accounting function while acting as a financial leader to the executive team—bringing clarity, control, and insight as the business grows.
Lead day-to-day accounting operations (GL, close, reporting, controls)
Drive process improvement & scalability
Partner with leadership on forecasting, cash flow, and strategic decisions
Play a key role in M&A activity—due diligence, integration, and financial alignment
Build and mentor a high-performing accounting team
Why This Role Stands Out
Growth trajectory: Company is actively pursuing acquisitions and expansion
Visibility: Direct exposure to executive leadership and ownership
Impact: Help shape financial infrastructure during a critical scale phase
Industry: Construction—where strong Controllers are critical to managing complex project financials
The Ideal Profile
Controller (or strong Accounting Manager ready to step up)
Construction / project-based accounting experience (WIP, revenue recognition, job costing)
Proven ability to build processes in a growing environment
CPA strongly preferred
This is a high-priority, strategic hire tied to upcoming growth initiatives. More details will be shared directly with qualified candidates. xavwley
