Full job description

POSITION SUMMARY

Allegheny Millwork & Lumberyard is seeking an experienced Controller to lead the accounting function for our lumberyard operation. Reporting to the EVP / General Manager, the Controller owns the integrity of the division's financial reporting and serves as the EVP / General Manager's primary financial partner - translating operating results into insight that drives pricing, inventory, credit, and growth decisions.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a growing, privately held organization. The Controller directs a team of three, owns the monthly close, and manages the areas where a building products business wins or loses margin: product-line profitability, vendor terms, and customer credit. The role also works directly with the company's VP of Finance on consolidated reporting, forecasting, and the annual audit, offering meaningful visibility across a multi-entity group.

FINANCIAL REPORTING & ANALYSIS

  • Own the monthly close and deliver accurate, timely financial statements within the established reporting calendar.
  • Prepare and present financial reporting packages, variance analysis, and operating metrics to the General Manager and leadership.
  • Analyze gross margin by product line, department, and customer segment; identify pricing, cost, and mix issues and recommend corrective action.
  • Lead the annual budget and participate in the reforecast process, partnering with operations on volume, margin, and expense assumptions.
  • Interpret market and industry trends and their expected impact on demand, cost, and inventory positioning.

ACCOUNTING OPERATIONS & INTERNAL CONTROL

  • Direct all day-to-day accounting functions, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, general ledger, and inventory accounting.
  • Maintain and continuously improve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.
  • Own reconciliations of all significant balance sheet accounts, including bank, inventory, accrual, and intercompany balances.
  • Own payroll as well as all commissions for sales / employee packages
  • Maintain the fixed asset ledger and support capital expenditure requests, including delivery fleet and yard equipment.
  • Oversee purchase order controls and the maintenance of vendor cost and pricing files within the ERP system.

INVENTORY, COST & MARGIN MANAGEMENT

  • Oversee inventory accounting and valuation.
  • Track and collect vendor rebates, volume incentives, and freight recovery to ensure the business captures all earned margin.
  • Partner with purchasing and operations on inventory turns, aged and obsolete material, and working capital efficiency.

CREDIT, COLLECTIONS & CASH MANAGEMENT

  • Manage cash flow, including working capital planning, cash forecasting, and vendor payment timing to protect terms and discounts.
  • Evaluate and approve customer credit, including credit applications, references, guarantees, and ongoing limit review.
  • Direct collections activity and protect the company's security interests, including lien notices and filings, joint check agreements, and escalation of past-due accounts.
  • Manage vendor relationships to ensure accurate, timely payment and favorable terms.

TAX, AUDIT & COMPLIANCE

  • Manage sales and use tax compliance, including taxable versus exempt sales determinations and resale/exemption certificate administration.
  • Coordinate business, property, and other filings, including tangible personal property tax returns and unclaimed property reporting.
  • Prepare audit and review schedules and respond to requests from external auditors and tax preparers.
  • Support annual insurance renewals and audits, including workers' compensation and general liability, and manage certificates of insurance.

TEAM LEADERSHIP & BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of three, setting clear expectations and providing coaching, review, and performance feedback.
  • Build cross-functional working relationships with sales, purchasing, and yard operations, serving as a trusted resource rather than a scorekeeper.
  • Contribute to the development and execution of strategies to grow the business, including new product lines, locations, and customer segments.
  • Champion a positive, accountable company culture consistent with our values.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Five or more years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including responsibility for a full monthly close.
  • Demonstrated experience owning inventory accounting and customer credit in a distribution, building products, manufacturing, or similar environment.
  • Working knowledge of an ERP system and advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
  • Experience supervising or mentoring accounting staff.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain financial results to non-financial audiences.
  • High degree of accuracy, sound judgment, and the discretion required to handle confidential information.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • CPA or MBA.
  • Experience in a retail lumberyard, building materials dealer, or millwork operation.
  • Experience with Spruce or a comparable building supply ERP platform.
  • Familiarity with mechanic's lien and notice requirements applicable to material suppliers.
  • Experience with reporting and business intelligence tools and a demonstrated interest in process automation and data quality.

WORK ENVIRONMENT & PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Primarily office-based, with regular presence in the yard.
  • Ability to move about the facility and yard, including uneven surfaces, with periodic exposure to outdoor weather conditions, dust, and noise.
  • Extended periods of computer and desk work, including frequent use of a keyboard, monitor, and telephone.
  • Ability to occasionally lift and move items weighing up to 25 pounds.
  • Occasional travel between company locations.
