Job Description

Controller Opportunity – Leading NYC Construction Firm

A well-established and highly respected construction firm specializing in mixed-income, affordable, supportive, and institutional housing is seeking an experienced Controller to join our team. With a strong presence in the New York metropolitan area, we have been instrumental in delivering high-quality, sustainable developments that positively impact communities.

Position Overview:

As Controller, you will play a key role in overseeing the financial health of the company. You will be responsible for managing all accounting operations, financial reporting, budgeting, and compliance while ensuring the integrity of financial data. This is a great opportunity for a detail-oriented and strategic finance professional to make an impact in a mission-driven organization. Someone that has experience working with a G.C. and understands corporate accounting, job costs, WIPS, backlogs, etc.  Not looking for someone that has worked in the industry, but with a developer, subcontractor, etc., these individuals lack the job cost experience which is very important. A major plus is if they have experience with Procore and Sage integration.  Salary will be based on experience.

• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Ensure compliance with GAAP and other regulatory requirements
