Fractional Controller

Overview

A growing home building company is spinning off its manufacturing division that produces prefabricated building panels for rapid on-site assembly. Operating across multiple states with a strong project pipeline in the coming months, the business needs immediate, hands-on financial operations support to stabilize cash flow, enable the spin-off, and create a scalable financial system during a critical growth phase. The role will operate in a transitional accounting software environment (desktop → online migration and a one-way sync with a construction project management platform) and focus on bringing discipline to billing and day-to-day accounting.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day accounts receivable and accounts payable; ensure invoices are accurate and issued on time
• Work with project managers to capture billable items, change orders, and project milestones
• Reconcile and manage data flow between the construction project management platform and the accounting system
• Implement structure and controls in the billing process to resolve cash flow gaps
• Support the financial separation of the building and manufacturing entities during the spin-off
• Operate effectively in a transitional tech environment and support an accounting desktop-to-online migration
• Establish processes and documentation to create a scalable financial system ahead of upcoming projects

Qualifications

• Proven hands-on experience as a Controller with day-to-day execution of AR/AP and reconciliations
• Construction and/or manufacturing industry experience strongly preferred
• Proficiency with desktop and online accounting software
• Experience with construction/project management platforms or similar tools is a plus
• Comfortable working in a transitional or imperfect environment and able to bring order to chaos
• Enjoys hands-on operational work (this is not primarily a strategic/CFO-level role initially)
• Remote-friendly and available about 15–25 hours per week
