Controller

The ideal candidate thinks beyond debits and credits. You are someone who has seen the inside of entrepreneurial companies, worked closely with small business owners or family businesses, and understands the difference between running a financially sound business and simply keeping the books.

• Progressive accounting and finance experience, with a track record of advancing into Controller or comparable leadership roles.

• Experience managing people, departments, or teams, with the ability to coach, mentor, and hold others accountable.

• A strong command of financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and financial controls.

• Experience building dashboards, KPIs, scorecards, and management reporting tools (not just standard accounting reports).

• The ability to clearly articulate how your work has moved the needle, whether by increasing profits, reducing costs, improving cash flow, or strengthening financial performance.

• Experience facilitating meetings, workshops, presentations, or training sessions.

• The communication skills to explain financial concepts in plain English and adapt your approach based on each client's level of financial sophistication.

• Comfort operating outside a traditional accounting lane, including contributing to HR matters, legal liaison situations, special projects, or advisory initiatives.

• Worked in entrepreneurial, rapid-growth, or startup environments.

• Supported professional service firms or family-owned businesses.
