Since 2013, Emergency Restoration Xperts (ERX) has helped homeowners and businesses across the Carolinas recover from fire, water, storm, and mold damage — and rebuild stronger. We're a family-owned company that moves fast, cares deeply about the people we serve, and invests in the people who serve them. As we grow, we're looking for a Controller who wants to do more than close the books: someone who wants to help lead a company through its next chapter.

About the Role

The Controller leads ERX's accounting function and owns the accuracy and integrity of our financial data. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll direct financial reporting, budgeting, and internal controls; coach and develop a growing accounting team; and partner closely with executive leadership and operations to make sure our numbers tell the real story of the business — and help shape what comes next. You'll also work cross-functionally with Payroll/HR to ensure bonus, commission, and incentive compensation is calculated and paid accurately.

Why ERX

• A seat at the table; this role partners directly with executive leadership and shapes financial strategy, not just financial reporting.
• A growing, family-owned business with deep roots in the Carolinas and a reputation for doing right by customers and employees alike.
• A team-first culture that values accountability, continuous improvement, and treating people with integrity.
• Competitive compensation and a benefits package designed to support you and your family; PTO/Health/Dental/Vision/Life/Disability/401(k), etc. 

What You'll Do

• Direct all accounting operations, ensuring accurate, timely financial reporting and month-end close.
• Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team, holding the group accountable to clear goals and standards.
• Partner with executive leadership to build the annual budget, forecast cash flow, and deliver executive dashboards on revenue, gross profit, EBITDA, and more.
• Own job costing and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting to ensure accurate revenue recognition and project profitability.
• Oversee accounts receivable and collections, and support organization-wide cash flow initiatives.
• Partner with Payroll to ensure bonus, commission, and incentive payments are accurate and on time.
• Coordinate with outside CPA firms and auditors, and keep ERX ahead of changing financial and tax requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement across accounting systems and processes, including NetSuite, Paylocity, DASH, and Albi.

What you Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience leading or supervising a team.
• Construction or restoration industry accounting experience is required; insurance restoration billing or TPA/Contractor Connection experience is a strong plus.
• Strong command of job costing, WIP reporting, and progress billing.
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with NetSuite, Paylocity, DASH, or Albi preferred.
• A leader who communicates financial information clearly to both executives and non-financial partners, and who holds a team accountable with care.
