Corpus Christi, TX 78409

Posted: 07/01/2025 Employment Type: Direct Hire Industry: Executive Job Number: 132045

Job Description


Job Title: Assistant Controller (with Path to Controller)

Location: Corpus Christi, TX
Work Schedule: Full-time, on-site | Casual environment | Generally 40 hours/week

 

About the Opportunity:

A stable and growing construction services company in Corpus Christi is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Assistant Controller to join their close-knit accounting team. This is a hands-on leadership role with a clear path to becoming the Controller within approximately one year.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact, enjoys operational accounting, and is looking for long-term career growth in a supportive, flexible, and people-first environment.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations: AP, AR, payroll, bank reconciliations, and general ledger entries

  • Prepare and support monthly financial reporting and job costing analysis

  • Assist with the preparation of annual audits and the Texas Department of Transportation questionnaire

  • Support Work-in-Progress (WIP) reporting and related journal entries

  • Oversee and develop accounting staff

  • Ensure accuracy of financial data and compliance with internal controls

  • Maintain and work within Foundation construction accounting software

  • Collaborate closely with ownership on financial strategy and planning

 

What You'll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or equivalent experience

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in construction or project-based industries

  • Familiarity with WIP reports, certified payroll, and accrual accounting

  • Working knowledge of accounting software; Foundation experience a plus

  • Intermediate Excel skills (must understand formulas and formatting)

  • Strong leadership potential with the ability to build trust and balance compassion with accountability

  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills

 

Team & Culture:

  • You’ll be joining a tight-knit accounting team

  • The environment is collaborative, casual, and low-turnover

  • Compassionate leadership and mutual respect are highly valued

  • The role requires a professional who can navigate a team with diverse personalities and strong tenure

  • While the workplace is casual, professionalism in demeanor is key—especially when dealing with auditors and bankers

 

Compensation & Perks:

  • Starting salary: $70,000 plus depending on experience (with potential for accelerated increase based on performance)

  • Annual bonus program

  • Benefits: Health and dental insurance, paid time off

  • Work-life balance: Normally 40 hours/week, but must be willing to work overtime if needed

  • Leadership support: Strong mentorship from the current Controller during the transition

 

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Transition into a Controller role in a realistic, supported timeframe

  • Strong financial stability and employee loyalty

  • Highly supportive ownership with a people-first mindset

  • A company that rewards loyalty and recognizes hard work with tangible bonuses
