Position Summary

We are hiring a Regional Business Controller focused on our RoadGuard entity that span the Western US. This is not just a steward of financial accuracy, but a strategic thinker capable of scaling systems, developing people, and driving insight through operational data. This is a high-impact leadership role at the heart of our finance operations-responsible for guiding the accounting team, owning technical accounting, and partnering cross-functionally with leaders across the business. This hire is crucial to supporting GSI’s ongoing growth, including post-acquisition integrations, internal control maturation, multi-entity and joint-venture consolidation, and continuous margin-focused decision making. This role is based in our Westminster, Colorado office, with weekly on-site attendance at review meetings in Erie, Colorado, as well as weekly engagement with additional teams across the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Take a hands-on role in project controls, project reviews, and related processes in partnership with operations leaders.
• Serve as a key advisor to operations leadership on leading and trending indicators that drive company performance.
• Lead and continuously improve core accounting functions: month-end close, GL management, audits, reconciliations, and internal controls.
• Own percentage-of-completion revenue recognition across multi-month, multi-entity projects-ensuring cost-to-cost calculations correctly reflect labor versus materials/equipment cost mix, and applying adjustments (e.g., excluding significant uninstalled materials) so reported margin isn’t distorted by procurement timing.
• Investigate and clearly explain cost and margin variances, including project under/overruns, distinguishing genuine performance shifts from timing, reclassification, or reporting artifacts before results reach leadership or the board.
• Conduct and guide technical accounting research, documentation, and policy updates.
• Oversee accounting execution for complex transaction cycles and key accounts.
• Serve as a lead partner in integrating acquired entities into GSI’s financial systems and chart of accounts, including post-close consolidation and intercompany elimination logic across multi-entity and joint-venture structures.
• Ensure trend, margin, and YTD reporting use consistent, comparable time periods and definitions across entities-catching and correcting misalignments before they reach executive reporting.
• Collaborate with FP&A and operational leaders on cash flow, budgeting, forecasting, margin tracking, and per-project financial accuracy.
• Build and maintain reliable, well-documented reporting workbooks and data-refresh processes, reducing manual, error-prone steps in WIP and month-end reporting.
• Support tax planning and compliance in coordination with internal and external stakeholders.
• Drive automation, systems improvements, and applied AI use to streamline the month-end close and reporting cycle.
• Prepare key reporting for executive decision-making and board visibility.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on percentage-of-completion / cost-to-cost revenue recognition for long-term or multi-period contracts, and a working understanding of how cost mix (labor versus materials/equipment) affects reported margin.
• Track record of designing and improving accounting processes and systems.
• Advanced Excel proficiency.
• Ability to travel occasionally across the Western US to regional offices and/or job sites.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to distinguish real performance shifts from timing or reporting artifacts in variance analysis.
• Proven ability to unite cross-functional, diverse teams around shared performance goals.
• Experience developing accounting talent and building team capability.

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA certification.
• Experience with Vista by Viewpoint or a similar construction/contractor ERP, including multi-entity company-code structures and month-end consolidation.
• Experience with TAD or similar WIP-tracking/data-refresh tools feeding into an ERP.
• Joint venture accounting / proportionate consolidation experience.
• Self-starter in developing and applying AI tools for augmented business understanding and reporting support.
• Experience running a complete month-end close cycle end-to-end.
• Prior use of Smartsheet Server.
• Background in public accounting or fast-scaling private companies.
• Hands-on experience with M&A integration.
