Demonstrated experience managing a full monthly close cycle across multiple entities, including consolidation and intercompany eliminations

Hands-on treasury and cash management experience — daily cash positioning, payment prioritization, and liquidity reporting

Strong GAAP knowledge, including comfort with lease accounting (ASC 842), revenue recognition, and multi-entity consolidation standards

Proficiency with QuickBooks Online at an enterprise level or comparable accounting platforms (Intacct, NetSuite, Xero)

Experience managing and developing accounting staff

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

Strongly Preferred:

Active CPA license (candidates without CPA must demonstrate equivalent depth of GAAP expertise through work history)

Advanced Excel proficiency; familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) a plus

You’re a builder, not a caretaker. You’ve been the person who walked into a messy situation and made it work — not by complaining about what was broken, but by designing the fix and executing it. You’re comfortable being the most senior finance person in the room and making judgment calls without waiting for permission. You hold yourself to a high standard and you hold your team to the same.

You understand that in a high-growth company, the Controller doesn’t just close the books — they build the systems that make accurate financial reporting possible at scale. You’re willing to do the work yourself while simultaneously building the team and processes.

This role has a clear trajectory. As the finance organization matures, a VP of Finance will be hired above the Controller to own strategic financial leadership, treasury, and capital markets. The Controller who demonstrates the ability to build and lead a high-performing accounting operation will be a leading candidate for expanded scope, including consideration for the VP role itself. We invest in people who deliver results.

Base salary: $150,000 – $200,000

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

Paid vacation, sick leave (ESST), and holidays

Employee assistance program (EAP)

Direct executive access and meaningful impact on company trajectory
