Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
At Summer Consultants, finance is not just about closing the books. It is about helping our 75-person professional services firm run better.
We are a project-based engineering consulting firm serving federal, institutional, and higher education clients. That means strong financial operations matter at every level of the business, from accurate project setup and billing to reliable reporting, clean data, and better decision-making.
We are looking for a Controller who can help strengthen how finance supports project operations by improving workflows, reporting discipline, system-supported processes, and use of Deltek Vantagepoint. The right candidate will bring sound accounting judgment, strong controllership fundamentals, and the ability to translate financial discipline into practical process improvements that support project managers, leadership, and long-term firm performance.
This role is well suited for someone who wants meaningful responsibility in a small-business environment where their work will be visible and consequential. The right person does not need to have already led a large finance department. They do need the accounting depth, systems mindset, and practical judgment to help move the function toward clearer workflows, stronger project-level financial visibility, better-supported processes, and a more scalable accounting operation.
This role also offers a meaningful growth path. The Controller will work closely with the firm's current finance leader and will have the opportunity to grow into broader responsibility over time as part of a planned transition.
If you are looking for a role where you can lead, improve, and build in a hands-on environment, we would like to hear from you.

What you can do for Summer Consultants
  • Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process with accuracy, consistency, and timeliness.
  • Produce timely, accurate financial statements and supporting reports.
  • Ensure financial reporting is timely, consistent, and GAAP-compliant.
  • Ensure project reporting, including WIP, revenue-related reporting, and job cost, reconciles to the general ledger.
  • Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, payroll support, general ledger activity, and reconciliations.
  • Review journal entries, reconciliations, and other close-related accounting outputs.
  • Ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in the proper accounting period.
  • Supervise and develop accounting staff while building accountability for deadlines, quality, and accuracy.
  • Strengthen project accounting practices, including billing workflows, labor cost allocation, expense coding, and project financial data integrity.
  • Lead improvements in how Deltek Vantagepoint is used across finance and project operations, including workflows that support project setup, billing, WIP visibility, revenue-related reporting, and project financial discipline.
  • Build and refine internal controls, standard processes, and financial workflows that reduce risk and improve consistency.
  • Apply appropriate accounting treatment to non-routine or complex transactions.
  • Oversee audit preparation and support tax, regulatory, and reporting compliance requirements.
  • Maintain the integrity of the accounting system and chart of accounts.
  • Help reduce dependence on individual institutional knowledge by building durable processes, documentation, and controls.
  • Support a finance function that delivers reliable data, strong controls, and better project-level visibility.

Requirements
What you should bring with you
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience, including meaningful ownership of close, financial reporting, and accounting operations.
  • Experience in a project-based professional services environment, ideally AEC, consulting, or similar.
  • Strong knowledge of financial reporting, general ledger accounting, reconciliations, close management, internal controls, and GAAP-based accounting practices.

  • Experience reviewing journal entries, reconciliations, and close-related accounting work.
  • Experience supervising and developing accounting staff.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong planning, organization, and follow-through.
  • Ability to work effectively with both finance staff and non-financial operational leaders.
  • High level of discretion, sound judgment, and attention to detail.

Company Benefits
  • 100% paid employee-only health insurance with 50% of family premiums paid.
  • $350 per month Opt-Out Credit for those with proof of other insurance.
  • Paid Parental Leave - 6 weeks Bonding Leave for all parents plus and additional 6 weeks of Childbirth Recovery Leave for birthing parents
