Job Summary
Heritage MEP is looking for a hands-on Controller to help build the finance infrastructure for a growing multi-entity mechanical services platform.
This is not just a traditional close-and-report role. You’ll work closely with the CFO to improve processes, standardize reporting, strengthen controls, and help scale the accounting function across multiple operating companies. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, building better systems, and creating a finance organization that can grow with the business.
Our platform currently includes 10 operating companies, with additional companies expected to join. The environment is dynamic, acquisition-driven, and operationally complex. We are also in the middle of a Sage Intacct implementation, so this role will play a major part in helping shape how accounting runs across the platform going forward.
What You’ll Do
Own the close and reporting process
- Lead the monthly close across multiple operating companies
- Ensure timely, accurate, and GAAP-compliant financial reporting
- Maintain strong balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and reporting discipline
- Improve the consistency and repeatability of month-end processes
Build scalable accounting processes
- Standardize accounting workflows, policies, and SOPs across the platform
- Improve visibility and consistency across different entities, systems, and charts of accounts
- Support accounting for job costing, WIP, percentage-of-completion, accruals, fixed assets, and lease accounting
- Help create a finance function that can support continued growth and acquisitions
Help optimize Sage Intacct
- Support the design and optimization of the Sage Intacct platform
- Help standardize charts of accounts, dimensions, reporting structures, and workflows
- Partner on system configuration, process alignment, and accounting best practices
- Assist with onboarding operating companies into a more standardized financial environment
Partner across the platform
- Work closely with the CFO and operating company leaders
- Provide actionable reporting and financial clarity to leadership
- Help coach and support accounting staff, bookkeepers, and local finance resources across the organization
- Contribute to integration efforts as new companies are brought into the platform
What Success Looks Like in Year One
- Month-end close becomes more reliable, timely, and repeatable across entities
- Sage Intacct is operational and positioned to scale across the platform
- Core accounting processes are better documented and standardized
- Reporting quality and visibility improve for both leadership and operating companies
- The accounting team structure becomes stronger and more scalable
What We’re Looking For
Experience
- Strong accounting background, ideally in a multi-entity or public accounting environment
- Experience leading or supporting monthly close and financial reporting
- Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct
- Experience with QuickBooks Desktop
- Strong Excel and data skills
- Solid command of GAAP, including:
- Accrual accounting
- WIP / percentage-of-completion
- Fixed assets and depreciation
- ASC 842 lease accounting
- Acquisition-related accounting concepts
Nice to Have
- Exposure to construction, mechanical services, field services, or multi-location operating environments
- Familiarity with tools such as BuildOps, ServiceTitan, or Sage Construction Management
- Experience helping standardize or improve systems during periods of growth or change
Who You Are
- Hands-on and willing to dive into the details
- Comfortable operating in an evolving environment
- Process-minded, but practical
- Naturally organized and solutions-oriented
- Curious, proactive, and persistent
- Able to work well across teams and personalities
- Calm under pressure and focused on getting things done the right way
