Taking the Next Step: Hiring a Construction Controller? RMS has you covered.

Taking the Next Step: Hiring a Construction Controller? RMS has you covered.

When your construction company hits the point where it needs a Controller, you’ve reached a milestone. You're growing, juggling more projects, managing complex financials and the margin for error is shrinking. This hire isn’t optional. It’s critical to your profitability and scalability.

But hiring a full-time Controller in Alberta or BC is no small decision. Between recruitment delays, salary expectations, and the risk of a mis-hire, you could be looking at $35,000+ in recruiting costs alone and that’s before the salary, onboarding, and overhead.

Eliminating delays in hiring construction controllers.

Skip the Delay. Skip the Risk.

RMS steps in immediately with interim or long-term Controller support backed by a CPA and construction CFO, to stabilize your financial operations without skipping a beat.

Here’s how we help construction companies across Western Canada take control (literally and financially):

• Instant Expertise

We deploy seasoned financial professionals who know the construction industry — from Sage 300 and QBO to Procore and Viewpoint. No ramp-up period. No guesswork. We speak your language and get your books, budgets, and forecasts aligned fast.

• No Risk. No Recruiting Costs.

Why spend tens of thousands on recruiters and months in limbo? With RMS, there’s no risk of a bad hire. We hit the ground running, do the work, build your systems and you only pay for the time you need.

• Scalable Financial Support

Need 2 days a week now and full-time later? We adjust as you grow. Our model scales up or down depending on your needs and your stage.

• Better Than In-House

Hiring a Controller full-time means carrying a up to 30% burden on top of their salary (benefits, vacation, overhead). With RMS, you avoid that. And we come with a whole team behind the scenes to support when things get complex.

Our goal: Build you a lean, efficient finance function that’s ready for growth.

Not Just a Controller — A Business Transformation

We go beyond the books. Once we stabilize your financials, we review your systems, software, processes, and internal controls — then design improvements to automate admin, integrate platforms, and boost profitability.

When You’re Ready to Hire, We’ll Help You Get It Right

Once your systems and reporting are dialed in and your cash flow is predictable, we’ll help you hire and onboard the right long-term Controller — or keep supporting you if that’s working better. Either way, we don’t leave you until the right person is in the right seat with a roadmap to follow.

RMS Is Your Insurance Policy

For construction companies across Alberta and BC looking for financial control, RMS is your insurance policy against risk, delay, and bad hiring decisions. We get your Controller role up and running, processes locked down, and then hand back the keys with a skilled driver at the wheel.

You’ve got to get this hire right. It’s too important not to.
