Financial Controller

About the Company

Reyco Electrical Services, LLC (Reyco) is a leading electrical services contractor based in Hughesville, MD, serving the DMV metro area with 24/7 emergency services, maintenance programs, and construction capabilities. Reyco is part of a growth platform and will continue to add additional capabilities and acquisitions.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to build the financial infrastructure of a platform from day one.

The Role

We are hiring a hands-on Controller to own all finance and accounting functions across within Reyco. This is not a supervisory role sitting above a team — this person will do the monthly close, prepare the board reporting package, manage the lender compliance deliverables, and build the processes and systems that will scale as the platform grows through acquisitions.

The right candidate is someone who has been the sole or primary finance person at a small company and thrives in that environment — comfortable toggling between journal entries and cash flow forecasting, between AP runs and investor presentations. Prior experience in construction, field services, or trades-based businesses is strongly preferred. Experience with investor-backed organizations or acquisitions is a significant plus but not required if the candidate has the reporting discipline and commercial instincts to operate in that environment.

Responsibilities

Monthly Close & Financial Reporting

• Own the full monthly close process, targeting close within 10 business days of month-end (moving to 7 days within 6 months)

• Prepare complete monthly financial package: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and management commentary

• Produce flash reporting (preliminary revenue and EBITDA estimates) within 3 business days of month-end

• Build and maintain the board deck financial pages and support quarterly board materials

Budgeting, Forecasting & Analysis

• Lead the annual budget process in partnership with Reyco's President

• Maintain a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, updated weekly

• Produce monthly budget-to-actual variance analysis with actionable commentary (not just "favorable/unfavorable" — explain the driver and whether it's timing or permanent)

• Support ad hoc financial analysis for pricing decisions, capital expenditure requests, and hiring plans

• Model and track earnout performance against the defined EBITDA thresholds

Lender & Investor Compliance

• Prepare and deliver all lender compliance certificates (leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, max capex)

• Coordinate annual audit with external auditors; serve as primary point of contact

• Support tax preparation for quarterly and annual tax needs with Company's tax advisors

• Ensure timely filing of all state and local tax obligations

• Support Quality of Earnings (QoE) processes for add-on acquisitions

Work-in-Progress (WIP) & Job Costing

• Implement and maintain a standardized WIP reporting process across all active jobs

• Produce monthly WIP schedules with percentage-of-completion analysis, overbilling/underbilling tracking, and margin fade identification

• Partner with project managers to ensure job cost accuracy and timely cost capture

• Flag margin erosion or scope creep on active projects to the President and Board

Systems & Process Build-Out

• Lead the migration from QuickBooks Desktop to a platform-level accounting system (NetSuite or Sage Intacct) when approved by the Board

• Design the chart of accounts and reporting structure to support multi-entity consolidation as add-on acquisitions close

• Establish accounting policies and internal controls appropriate for a PE-backed platform (segregation of duties, approval workflows, expense policies)

• Implement BuildOps integration with the accounting system for dispatch-to-invoice workflow

Add-On Acquisition Support

• Serve as the finance lead during add-on acquisition diligence — review target company financials, normalize EBITDA, identify working capital risks

• Execute Day 1 financial integration for acquired entities: bank account setup, payroll migration, vendor transitions, chart of accounts mapping

• Consolidate acquired entities into the platform reporting package within 30 days of close

Cash Management & Treasury

• Manage day-to-day cash operations: AP, AR collections, payroll funding, and revolver draws

• Monitor DSO and implement process improvements to compress the billing cycle

• Manage relationships with banking partners

Qualifications

Required

• 5–8 years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2 years as the primary/sole finance person at a company under $25M in revenue

• Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP); CPA preferred but not required

• Hands-on experience with monthly close, financial statement preparation, and management reporting

• Proficiency with QuickBooks (for the transition period) and experience implementing or working in a mid-market ERP (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar)

• Advanced Excel skills — can build models, not just maintain them

• Experience with job costing, WIP accounting, or percentage-of-completion revenue recognition

• Comfortable working directly with investors and lenders; can present financials clearly and answer follow-up questions without hand-holding

Strongly Preferred

• Prior experience in construction, electrical contracting, field services, mechanical trades, or similar project-based businesses

• Experience at a PE- or sponsor-backed company, including familiarity with board reporting, lender compliance, and QoE processes

• Experience with financial integration of acquired businesses

• Familiarity with multi-entity or multi-location consolidation

The Right Fit

• You prefer doing the work yourself over delegating it, and you take pride in a clean, on-time close

• You can explain a variance to a PE partner as clearly as you can explain a job margin to a project manager in the field

• You are energized, not overwhelmed, by building processes from scratch

• You don't need to be told what to report — you see a gap and fill it

• You understand that in a small company, "not my job" is not a phrase that applies

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary ($120,000 – $150,000 depending on experience)

• Annual performance bonus tied to platform financial milestones

• Potential for equity participation

• Opportunity to grow into a VP Finance / CFO role

• Direct exposure to investors, lenders, and acquisition processes — this is a career-accelerating seat for the right person

• Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401(k))
