Job Description

Job Description

A privately held general contractor in the Kansas City area is seeking a Controller who will transition into the CFO role as the current financial leader approaches retirement. This is a unique succession opportunity offering direct mentorship, high visibility, and meaningful influence within a stable, values-driven organization.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Clear path to CFO with structured overlap and mentorship
  • Privately owned, well-respected general contractor with strong local relationships
  • Highly collaborative, low-ego culture grounded in integrity and accountability
  • Significant leadership access and influence without corporate layers
  • Diverse project portfolio and steady long-term outlook
  • Strong emphasis on character, teamwork, and long-term fit

Compensation and Structure

  • Competitive base salary
  • Bonus structure tied to company and individual performance
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, retirement, and supplemental options
  • Fully in-office to support collaboration with leadership and project teams

What You Will Do

Immediate Responsibilities (Controller)

  • Oversee month-end close, financial reporting, WIP, job cost accounting, AP/AR, and payroll
  • Manage cash flow forecasting and financial analysis
  • Support project managers with budgeting, cost control, and financial planning
  • Lead and mentor the accounting team
  • Coordinate year-end review with external accounting partners
  • Strengthen processes, controls, and financial accuracy

Long-Term Responsibilities (Transition to CFO)

  • Support long-range planning and financial strategy
  • Oversee insurance, bonding, risk management, and licensing
  • Manage banking relationships and capital planning
  • Participate in executive-level planning and operational decision-making
  • Guide the financial future of the organization as it continues to scale

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Construction accounting background strongly preferred
  • Hands-on approach with strong WIP and job cost understanding
  • Strong leadership experience with the ability to mentor and develop others
  • Comfortable working directly with ownership and cross-functional teams
  • Highly dependable, organized, and driven
  • Humble, collaborative, and aligned with strong core values
  • CPA not required

What Type of Person Thrives

  • Values stability, long-term growth, and meaningful work
  • Prefers a culture grounded in honesty, accountability, and respect
  • Appreciates visibility and genuine partnership with leadership
  • Likes wearing multiple hats and having broad responsibility
  • Enjoys contributing to a company’s long-term vision
