  • Franklin, Tennessee, Franklin, TN | Contract / Fractional | Initial 3–6 Month Engagement The Situation We are 3 related, founder-owned construction and specialty-trade companies in Middle Tennessee covering general construction, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. Combined annual revenue is currently approximately $8M–$9M . The businesses have more than 20 years of operating history, were built without outside capital, and actively perform both project and service work. The operating companies grew faster than the financial infrastructure behind them. We recently hired our first full-time internal accountant. We are now looking for an experienced construction Controller to work directly with her, the founder, and the EVP/COO to stabilize the accounting, finish building the financial function, and transfer the knowledge internally. This is not a conventional monthly bookkeeping engagement. There is real cleanup and reconstruction involved. Current Condition Before 2026, the companies did not operate through QuickBooks or another complete accounting platform. Historical accounting and job-cost information exists across Excel files, bank activity, payroll records, contracts, invoices, emails, paper records, and other disconnected sources. Some historical job-cost files combine activity from multiple entities. Some records may be incomplete or incorrectly classified. Historical budgets may need to be reconstructed from available project information. We implemented Premier Construction Software by Jonas in 2026, but the implementation remains incomplete. Current issues include: Bank and credit-card reconciliations behind Historical data not fully loaded or validated Incomplete GL and journal-entry processes Intercompany accounting not properly established No dependable monthly close Incomplete job-cost and budget structure No reliable WIP / percentage-of-completion process Limited cash forecasting and management reporting Payroll and labor allocation requiring review No established accounting policies or documented procedures Related-party, equipment, and entity-allocation questions requiring proper treatment Historical information that must be separated between 3 legal entities Our surety has already supported $7M+ of bonded work and has requested stronger construction financial reporting and coordination with a construction-experienced CPA. What We Need You To Do The initial objective is to diagnose, stabilize, build, and transfer . 1. Assess and Triage Review all 3 entities and determine: What is accurate What is incomplete What is incorrectly structured What can reasonably be reconstructed What should be corrected historically What should instead be handled through verified beginning balances What needs immediate attention versus what can wait Whether the existing Premier implementation should be completed, partially rebuilt, or restarted We want an evidence-based plan, not cleanup for the sake of cleanup. 2. Stabilize Current Accounting Establish a reliable accounting cycle including: General ledger structure Journal entries Bank and credit-card reconciliations AP / AR and billing Cash receipts Intercompany accounting and eliminations Payroll integration and labor allocation Balance-sheet reconciliations Month-end close Stand-alone financials by entity Combined management reporting 3. Build the Construction Accounting Establish the construction-specific financial discipline we currently lack: Job costing Cost-code structure Budget-to-actual reporting WIP schedules Percentage-of-completion accounting Over / under billing Retainage Pay applications Change-order tracking Job-level margin reporting Margin fade / gain visibility Labor burden and equipment-cost allocation Backlog and project financial reporting 4. Stabilize Premier Assess and drive Premier Construction Software by Jonas toward becoming the actual accounting and job-cost system of record. This includes working with our internal accountant and Premier support where appropriate to determine what should be repaired, rebuilt, uploaded, or redesigned. Direct Premier experience is highly desirable but strong construction accounting and ERP implementation experience is more important than knowing one software package . 5. Build Financial Visibility Help establish: Reliable monthly financial statements 13-week cash forecasting AP / AR aging visibility Job profitability reporting WIP reporting Budget versus actual Cash requirements Basic accounting and financial KPIs Reporting useful to ownership, banks, bonding companies, and outside CPAs 6. Develop Our Internal Accountant This is critical. We have already hired a full-time internal accountant. We want the fractional Controller to: Work directly with her Assign and review accounting work Teach construction accounting using our actual projects Review and correct her work Turn recurring corrections into documented procedures Help her develop judgment, not merely follow checklists Gradually transfer the recurring accounting function internally Help determine what she should own as her capabilities grow The objective is not permanent dependency on a fractional Controller . We want heavier involvement initially, followed by decreasing involvement as the accounting function becomes reliable and our internal accountant becomes capable of maintaining it. Expected Engagement Structure We are open to the right structure, but envision something generally like: First 30 Days: Heavy assessment, triage, cleanup, accounting design, and training. Months 2–3: Implementation, reconstruction, Premier work, construction accounting, close development, reporting, and significant supervision of the internal accountant. Months 4–6: Reduced involvement focused increasingly on review, technical accounting, WIP, close oversight, training, forecasting, and exceptions. Thereafter: Potential narrow monthly Controller oversight if warranted. We are open to fixed-fee, hourly, or phased pricing, but proposals should clearly identify expected hours, onsite commitment, deliverables, exclusions, and any not-to-exceed amount. On-Site Expectations This is not intended to be completely remote , particularly during the initial phases. Our records, people, projects, and operating knowledge are in Franklin. We believe meaningful onsite time will be necessary early in the engagement to understand the companies properly. Once the foundation is established, we are open to a larger portion of the work being performed remotely. Required experience: • Significant hands-on construction accounting experience at Controller level • US GAAP and accrual accounting • Multi-entity accounting and intercompany transactions/eliminations • Month-end close and balance-sheet reconciliations • Job costing and cost-code structure • WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion accounting • Over/under billing, retainage, pay applications, and change orders • Budget-to-actual and job-margin reporting • Cash forecasting and management reporting • Construction ERP implementation, cleanup, or conversion experience • Ability to assess incomplete historical records and determine a practical reconstruction strategy • Ability to supervise, review, and train an internal Staff Accountant • Ability to communicate directly with ownership and identify issues requiring a CPA, attorney, payroll provider, insurance professional, or other specialist Strong preference for experience with self-performing GC, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or specialty-trade contractors. Premier Construction Software by Jonas experience is highly preferred, but strong construction Controller and ERP experience is more important than familiarity with one software package. CCIFP, CPA, CMA, or similar credentials are preferred but not required. Applicants should be prepared to provide examples of comparable engagements, 1-2 professional references, proposed availability, onsite capacity, and pricing structure. Hourly, fixed-fee, phased, and not-to-exceed proposals will be considered. Please include expected weekly hours, onsite commitment, initial project duration, total estimated cost, and ongoing monthly cost if continued oversight is recommended.
