Controller

Job Title: Controller
Location: Greater Salem, NH (Onsite)
Pay Rate: $100,000 – $120,000 + Discretionary Bonus

Overview:

Step into a high-impact leadership role where you will fully own and elevate the financial engine of a growing, $19M revenue business. This is a rare opportunity to take the reins of accounting and financial operations for a well-established, family-run organization preparing for a generational leadership transition.

This role is designed for someone who wants more than a seat at the table. You’ll work directly with ownership to create structure, drive financial clarity, and position the company for long-term success.

What You’ll Do:

• Own all financial operations with full autonomy and accountability


• Manage general ledger, month-end and year-end close processes


• Produce accurate, timely financial reports and performance insights


• Monitor and analyze profit margins across projects and business lines


• Oversee AIA billing, cost tracking, and WIP reporting


• Maintain and optimize accounting systems (RFMS + Microsoft tools)


• Partner with external CPA/accountants for compliance and reporting


• Prepare financial documentation for leadership decision-making


• Establish and improve financial processes, controls, and reporting structure


• Collaborate directly with ownership on strategic financial planning

Compensation & Perks:

• Base Salary: $100,000 – $120,000


• Bonus: Discretionary performance bonuses ($5K–$10K, typically paid twice per year)


• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 40 hours/week (flexible start at 7:00 or 8:00 AM)


• Potential option for a 4-day / 10-hour schedule


• Work Environment: Fully onsite, highly collaborative small-team setting

Benefits:

• Health Insurance (BCBS – 60% employer covered, eligible after 3 months)


• Vision & Dental options available


• 401(k) with 3% company match


• PTO + sick days + additional company holidays

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Direct visibility and influence with ownership


• Opportunity to build and modernize financial infrastructure


• Long-term stability with a leadership transition already in motion


• Tight-knit, high-accountability team where your impact is immediate and visible


• Established company with strong industry presence across residential, commercial, and specialty projects

Requirements:

• 5+ years of accounting experience (Senior Accountant or Controller level)


• Strong financial reporting and oversight capabilities


• Experience managing general ledger and close processes independently


• Comfortable owning the full accounting function in a small business environment


• Experience with AIA billing, cost accounting, or WIP reporting preferred


• Experience working with external CPAs or accounting partners preferred


• Proficiency with accounting software (RFMS or similar) and Microsoft Office


• High ownership mentality with the ability to operate autonomously


• Adaptable, hands-on, and comfortable in a family-run business environment
