Full Job Description

About Us
Warfield & Sanford, Inc. is an established elevator service, repair, and modernization contractor founded in 1915. We are a multi-generational family-owned business operating across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with approximately 70 employees supporting union field operations and a centralized administrative team.

We maintain and repair hundreds of elevators and perform ongoing modernization work in an operationally complex, fast-moving environment. Our business depends on accurate job costing, strong execution, and responsiveness to customers.

The Role
We are hiring a Controller to take full ownership of accounting operations and financial reporting.

This is a hands-on role. You will be directly responsible for ensuring our financials are accurate, our processes are controlled, and issues are identified, investigated, and resolved--not just reported. You will also provide accurate financial reporting and analysis to support leadership in making informed business decisions.

This is not a “maintain the status quo” position. The role requires identifying inconsistencies in financial and operational data and working across departments to resolve them. We are looking for someone who can step into a real-world environment, identify problems, and improve systems over time.

What You Will Own

Financial Reporting & Close

Own the monthly close process
Produce accurate P&L and Balance Sheet
Ensure all financials are fully supported and explainable
Identify and explain variances and inconsistencies

Job Costing & Operational Finance

Maintain accurate job costing across service and construction work
Ensure alignment between labor, materials, and billing
Identify margin issues and work with operations to resolve them
Own and maintain Work-in-Progress (WIP) reporting for the modernization department, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment with financial reporting

Experience in job costing environments is strongly preferred and critical for success in this role

Accounts Receivable & Collections

Monitor AR aging and enforce collection processes
Identify high-risk accounts early
Support enforcement of service holds and escalation procedures

Accounts Payable & Cash Controls

Oversee vendor bill entry and payment process
Ensure proper coding and documentation
Maintain strong cash controls
Step into AP when needed to ensure continuity

Payroll & Compliance

Oversee payroll accuracy and labor coding
Support CBA compliance requirements

Benefits Administration

Oversee benefits administration, including enrollments, payroll deductions, and invoice reconciliation
Coordinate with providers to ensure accuracy

Process Improvement & Controls

Identify discrepancies and resolve issues
Improve accounting workflows and processes
Ensure procedures are followed and documented

Team Oversight

Oversee accounting/admin staff (billing, AR, AP)
Ensure work is accurate, timely, and consistent

What This Role Requires

Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
5+ years in accounting/finance roles
Experience as Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accountant
Strong experience with monthly close and financial reporting
Strong proficiency in Excel required
Experience working with accounting or ERP systems in a job costing environment

Highly Preferred

Experience in field service, construction, or trade-based environments is highly preferred (HVAC, elevator, construction, field service, etc.)
Comfort using technology and improving processes is important; experience with automation tools is a plus.

You Will Be a Good Fit If You

Are hands-on and detail-oriented
Take ownership of your numbers
Can identify issues without being told
Are comfortable working in an environment where systems are improving and not everything is perfectly structured
Are willing to work across departments to fix problems

What This Role Is NOT

Not a bookkeeping-only position
Not a passive reporting role
Not a fully built-out corporate environment
Not a position where everything is already clean and structured

Compensation

Salary: $100,000 – $140,000 (based on experience and capability)
Bonus potential based on performance
Health, dental, and vision benefits
401(k) with employer matching and contribution
Paid time off and holidays

Why This Role

High visibility with ownership and leadership
Opportunity to own and improve the accounting function
Ability to make a real impact on how the business operates
Not just maintaining reports—building a stronger system

Application Questions (Please Include in Your Application)

Describe your monthly close process step-by-step
What experience do you have with job costing in a service or construction environment?
Describe a time you identified an issue in financials and how you resolved it

Pay: $48.08 - $67.31 per hour

Benefits:

401(k)
401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
