About the Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
This is a hands-on Controller position within a growing company. While you'll provide financial leadership and strategic insight, you'll also be actively involved in the day-to-day accounting functions. If you enjoy building systems, improving processes, solving problems, and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves, you'll thrive in this role.
You will work directly with ownership to oversee the financial operations of multiple companies, improve financial reporting, strengthen internal controls, develop scalable accounting systems, and provide meaningful financial insight to support business decisions.
Our accounting department currently consists of a part-time Accounts Payable Administrator and an Office Manager who is transitioning accounting responsibilities into this role. You will have the opportunity to build the finance function from the ground up, implement best practices, and help shape what the accounting department looks like as the company continues to grow.
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving efficiencies, and becoming a trusted business partner rather than simply managing the books.
