    A Robert Half Management Resources client is seeking a highly experienced Controller-level Consultant with deep expertise in Sage Intacct implementations for a construction industry client. Following their recent migration from Sage 300 to Sage Intacct, the client is experiencing significant challenges requiring immediate post-implementation clean-up. The consultant will address critical frustration points related to project setup, change orders, billing processes, costs, and compliance tracking to streamline operations and optimize system usage.

    Key Responsibilities:

    Project Setup and Change Order Improvements

     

    Analyze and resolve issues with project setup, including the proper use of Total Revised Price vs. Specified Price, ensuring accurate change order updates.

     

    Streamline the process of adding Markup Price to automatically flow into Change Orders from projects.

     

    Address the disconnect in creating Change Requests, Change Orders, and Contract Lines by designing workflows to reduce manual dependencies.

     

    Billing and Invoicing Optimization

     

    Evaluate the process for generating bills line-by-line to simplify workflows and eliminate inefficiencies.

     

    Collaborate on developing custom invoice templates to meet billing requirements, including T& M, Contract, and Gross Max Price billing scenarios.

     

    Identify and implement solutions for applying markups correctly and generating reports to track project financials, especially Gross Max Price compliance.

     

    Compliance Tracking and Lien Waivers

     

    Review and address compliance tracking gaps, particularly the creation and management of lien waivers.

     

    Develop a process to streamline lien waiver generation, minimizing manual intervention and selecting appropriate state-specific lien waiver forms automatically.

     

    Provide training or automation solutions to reduce manual steps for filtering or correcting unnecessary forms.

     

    Process Improvements and Reporting

     

    Partner with key stakeholders to identify root causes of frustrations and implement lasting solutions tailored for construction workflows.

     

    Collaborate with the internal team to create dashboards and reports, providing visibility into red flags like near-GMP limits or breached project budgets.

     

    Provide thought leadership on best practices for Sage Intacct specific to mid-to-large-scale construction firms.

     

    Change Management and Training

     

    Support change management by training staff on improved workflows and Sage Intacct functionality.

     

    Develop clear documentation and user guides for both immediate needs and long-term adaptability.

    Requirements

    Minimum of 7-10 years of Controller or Senior Finance/Accounting experience, ideally within the construction sector.

     

    Proven expertise with Sage Intacct implementation and optimization, with a strong understanding of its project management, billing, and compliance modules.

     

    Hands-on experience with Sage 300 and familiarity with the challenges of migrating between these systems is highly desirable.

     

    Deep understanding of construction-specific accounting practices, including T& M, Contract, and Gross Max Price structures.

     

    Exceptional problem-solving skills coupled with the ability to train and build capacity within operational teams.

     

    Experience creating and applying custom workflows, templates, and reporting tools in ERP systems.

     

    Excellent communication skills to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

    Preferred Skills:

    Knowledge of lien waiver regulations and compliance requirements across multiple states.
