Development Sequence has been exclusively retained and is currently
seeking a Controller with Construction and/or Development
background for a privately held development organization. The
privately owned firm is building and operating mid-sized high-end
multifamily and commercial projects throughout southern California.
These are primarily confidential private construction efforts for
clientele, ranging from large multifamily complexes and
developments to commercial buildouts. Specifically, we are seeking
a Controller that would work remotely and be charged with heading
up all accounting and finance activities. While the projects are
complex, the organization has a light administrative team, so this

company's financial records for multiple projects and entities.
Responsibility includes maintaining all procedures and controls
related to the company's financial accounts. General duties:
- Oversight of the finance, including billing, accounts payable,
payroll, and accounting functions.
- Use of project management and accounting software (
organization seeking to eventually migrate systems).
- Hands-on data/cost gathering and entry, ensuring that all
payables are coded to the proper job and cost codes.
- Contracts administration.
- Assist in handling, processing, and tracking: change orders,
submittals, transmittals, RFI's, etc.
- Work requests for ongoing projects, large and small, at dynamic
properties.
- Preparing financial statements and reports.
- Coordination of monthly and quarterly financial reporting.
- Cash flow management and forecasting.
- Manage payment requests by subcontractors, consultants, and
third-party vendors.
- Compliance tracking and enforcement for subcontractors and
vendors including NDAs, licensing, insurances, lien releases,
etc.
- Manage accounts receivable.
- Maintain the department's licenses and insurances.
Qualifications:
- Proven knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting principles,
practices, standards, laws, and regulations.
- Proficiency in accounting software.

management software. High attention to detail and accuracy.
- Ability to manage multiple projects at once with no decline in
quality control.
- Self-starter; comfortable with directing one's own work.

The organization has a corporate culture that seeks to empower
employees with challenging endeavors and works best with those
possessing an optimistic and positive mindset. Leadership cares
deeply about team culture and working within a collaborative,
flexible team environment. They also love technology and regularly
adopt/experiment with new forms of tech to streamline communication
and operations. The position requires prior construction accounting
experience ( ideally in homebuilding and commercial). So, the right
fit would be someone with a passion for real estate, construction,
and finance, coupled with a strong work ethic, who is highly
motivated, organized, tenacious, and results oriented. This could
be an excellent fit for a mid to senior-level Account or Bookkeeper
seeking to grow into a role that they could make their own. It
might also be an excellent fit for a proven Controller to find a
long-term home with the right organization. The position is slated
to be based on site here in San Diego, California, with occasional
regional travel to project sights throughout region. For immediate
