Corporate Controller

The Corporate Controller is a senior finance leader for a private equity–backed, multi-entity, high-growth

company in the commercial openings sector. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role has overall

ownership of the accuracy and integrity of the Company’s financial accounting and reporting, and leads

the financial controls, cash management and Treasury, external audit, and Shared Services (including

Accounts Payable and Payroll) functions.

This position will play a critical role in building a scalable, well-controlled accounting foundation –

standardizing accounting processes, policies, charts of accounts, and financial discipline across newly

acquired businesses, and ensuring the Company consistently meets the expectations of its PE sponsor,

lenders, and auditors. The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting expertise in a construction

environment, a controls mindset, and experience thriving in a fast-paced, sponsor-backed setting.

The Corporate Controller leads and develops the accounting team, driving consistency, integrity, and

continuous improvement in financial practices across the organization.
