Controller - Champion Commercial Roofing

About the role

Champion Commercial Roofing is hiring a Controller to own accounting, job costing and financial reporting for a nationwide commercial roofing and storm-restoration business. You will run a clean, timely close in Intuit Enterprise Suite and give leadership the numbers it needs to price work, manage cash and evaluate growth opportunities, including acquisitions.

This is a hands-on role. You will do the work yourself while building the processes, controls and lead the team that will let the finance function scale.

Key responsibilities

Accounting and close

• Own the general ledger, chart of accounts and month-end close in Intuit Enterprise Suite, closing within 10 business days.
• Prepare monthly financial statements: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and job-level profitability.
• Manage AP, AR, payroll accounting, bank and credit card reconciliations, and fixed assets (trucks, equipment).

Construction accounting and job costing

• Maintain accurate job costing by project, phase and cost code for labor, materials, subcontractors and equipment.
• Prepare the monthly WIP schedule and recognize revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis (ASC 606).
• Manage progress billing, pay applications, retainage, change orders and lien waivers.
• Track insurance-restoration receivables: carrier payments, supplements, depreciation holdback and deductibles.
• Reconcile job costs between IES and field or estimating systems.

Cash, reporting and planning

• Manage cash flow forecasting, collections and vendor payment timing across seasonal and storm-driven swings.
• Build the annual budget and monthly budget-to-actual reporting for the CEO and executive team.
• Produce KPI reporting: gross margin by job and crew, backlog, DSO, overhead rate and close rate.
• Support financial due diligence and post-close integration for potential acquisitions.

Compliance and controls

• Manage sales and use tax on a national basis, 1099s, insurance audits (general liability, workers' comp) and bonding reports.
• Coordinate with outside CPAs on year-end, tax returns and any reviewed or audited statements.
• Design and enforce internal controls: approvals, segregation of duties, purchasing and expense policies.
• Supervise and develop accounting staff (AP/AR, billing, payroll).

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance.
• 7+ years of accounting experience, including 3+ years as a Controller or Assistant Controller.
• 3+ years in construction, roofing or another project-based trade, with hands-on job costing and WIP experience.
• Advanced, hands-on proficiency in Intuit Enterprise Suite, including projects, classes or dimensions, and multi-entity reporting.
• Working knowledge of percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, retainage and AIA or similar construction related billing.
• Advanced Excel: lookups, pivot tables and building forecasts from scratch.

Preferred

• CPA license.
• Experience in Quickbooks Online or Intuit Enterprise Suite, and setting up a new entity in either.
• Insurance-restoration or storm-work accounting experience.
• Experience integrating QuickBooks with field and estimating tools (such as AccuLynx, JobNimbus, ServiceTitan or Procore) and payroll platforms.
• Experience supporting an acquisition, private-equity ownership or lender reporting.
• Experience with bonding, surety and contractor licensing requirements in Texas.

What success looks like in year one

• Monthly close delivered in 10 business days or fewer, with a WIP schedule the executive team trusts.
• Job-level margins visible within days of a project closing, not months.
• A rolling 13-week cash forecast in use for weekly decisions.
• Documented controls and a finance calendar that run without the Controller in every step.

Who thrives here

• You are comfortable in the details and in front of the executive team.
• You explain numbers plainly to people in sales and operations.
• You fix broken processes instead of working around them.
• You stay steady when storm season doubles the workload.

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary: $85,000-$120,000, based on experience, plus annual performance bonus.
• Health, dental and vision insurance; 401(k); paid time off.
