Controller – Private Equity-Backed Growth Company

Location: Portland, OR

Are you ready to take ownership of the financial operations for a fast-growing, private equity-backed company? This is a rare opportunity to work directly with a dynamic CFO known for developing leaders and building high-performing finance teams. If you’re looking for the kind of role that challenges you while setting you up for long-term career growth, this could be it.

Why This Role Stands Out

● Mentorship: You’ll report directly to a CFO who invests in people and accelerates careers.
● Impact: Be at the center of a growing construction-focused business, driving financial performance and supporting M&A integration.
● Growth: Gain exposure to private equity reporting, acquisitions, and strategic decision-making at the executive level.

What You’ll Do

● Lead all aspects of financial operations, reporting, and month-end close.
● Prepare GAAP-compliant statements and deliver insights for leadership and investors.
● Partner with FP&A on budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning.
● Support M&A due diligence and post-acquisition integration.
● Mentor and develop accounting staff into future leaders.
● Drive process improvements, strengthen internal controls, and enhance reporting through ERP and analytics tools.

What You Bring

● Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA or CMA preferred).
● 7+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with at least 3 years in a Controller role.
● Experience in a private equity environment and/or construction-related business strongly preferred.
● Strong ERP expertise, advanced Excel skills, and comfort with tools like PowerBI.
● A leadership mindset with the ability to balance detail orientation with big-picture impact.

💡 This role is tailor-made for someone who wants to step beyond traditional accounting leadership and into a strategic partnership role with executive leadership and investors.
