Controller + Mechanical + Omaha

Are you an experienced accounting professional who enjoys being in the details but is ready to have a bigger impact? We are partnering with our client, a successful, family-owned construction company seeking a hands-on Controller to lead its accounting operations. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants the autonomy to run the financial side of a growing business, work directly with leadership, and be part of a down-to-earth, team-oriented environment.

Whether you're an established Controller or a strong accounting professional ready to take the next step, this opportunity offers the chance to make a meaningful contribution without the demands of an overly corporate environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Oversee daily accounting operations, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and timely financial reporting.
• Lead the month-end close process and prepare financial statements.
• Manage budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities.
• Analyze financial performance and provide meaningful insights to company leadership.
• Oversee payroll processing and assist with various HR-related functions.
• Lead, support, and develop a small accounting team.
• Maintain effective internal controls, accounting procedures, and reporting processes.
• Identify potential financial concerns and proactively communicate recommendations to leadership.
• Remain actively involved in day-to-day accounting responsibilities, stepping in wherever needed.

What They're Looking For

• Construction accounting experience is required.
• Strong knowledge of general accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and month-end close.
• Experience managing accounting operations with the ability to work independently.
• Previous supervisory or leadership experience preferred.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize responsibilities and meet deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills and confidence working directly with senior leadership.
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
• Someone who takes pride in their work, values accountability, and doesn't believe any accounting task is beneath them.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established, growing business: Join a well-positioned construction company with a strong pipeline of projects.
• Solid accounting foundation: Step into an organized accounting function with processes already in place and transition support available.
• Direct leadership access: Work closely with decision-makers and have a meaningful voice in financial operations.
• Autonomy and trust: Enjoy an environment where you're empowered to manage your responsibilities without micromanagement.
• Work-life balance: A position designed around a reasonable, approximately 40-hour workweek.
• Excellent health benefits: Employer-paid health insurance premiums for the employee.
• Long-term opportunity: Become an important part of a stable, family-owned organization that values teamwork, dependability, and accountability.

If you're a construction accounting professional who enjoys both the big picture and the day-to-day details, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. We're looking for someone who brings financial expertise, a strong work ethic, and a team-first attitude to an organization where their contributions will truly matter.
