Controller + Lead with Impact + Council Bluffs

Ready to take the reins of a dynamic accounting operation that spans multiple locations and business units? Our client is looking for a seasoned Controller who thrives in fast-paced, multi-entity environments—someone who can lead with confidence, dig into the details, and guide a team toward excellence.

This is more than a month-end close role. It's about owning the accounting function from top to bottom, building strong internal controls, and serving as a financial partner to operations.

What You’ll Tackle:

• Deliver timely, accurate financial statements and operational insights
• Own the general ledger and lead the monthly close process
• Manage all core accounting functions: A/P, A/R, Payroll, Billing, Purchasing, and Inventory
• Navigate complex job cost accounting and oversee cash flow strategies
• Lead and develop an accounting team focused on accuracy, efficiency, and internal support
• Ensure multistate payroll, sales, and use tax compliance across the Midwest
• Act as a key point of contact for audits and external tax partners
• Collaborate closely with HR on employee benefits and self-insured health plans
• Identify and implement process improvements to increase departmental efficiency
• Guide and coach the team with a hands-on leadership style

What Sets You Apart:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting (required—Finance degrees will not be considered)
• Significant experience in accounting leadership, preferably within the construction industry
• Working knowledge of payroll and tax regulations in multiple Midwest states
• Proven success managing accounting across multiple locations or profit centers
• Comfortable with accounting systems, Excel, and reporting tools
• Strong communicator who can support operations while upholding financial accuracy
• Positive, team-focused mindset and a natural drive to lead and improve
