Job Description

We're bringing our controller function fully in-house as our long-time external controller retires. This role owns the complete accounting cycle, payroll, treasury, budgeting, tax compliance, and financial reporting across multiple entities, serving as the company's primary financial partner to ownership and leadership. You'll work closely with our external CPA firm, banks, insurance providers, and vendors to maintain strong financial controls as we grow. This is a true Controller seat - full ownership of the financial function - without needing a CPA license.

What You'll Do

As a Controller, you will:

Accounting, Billing & Collections

• Manage the full accounting cycle for multiple entities in QuickBooks - AP, AR, journal entries, payroll entries, and credit card activity
• Prepare and distribute customer invoices per contract terms; review billing for accuracy and ensure jobs are invoiced timely
• Monitor receivables and lead collections while maintaining strong client relationships
• Maintain vendor files, W-9s, and organized accounting records

Payroll & HR Support

• Process payroll accurately and in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, including multi-state requirements
• Record and reconcile payroll journal entries and benefit deductions each pay period
• Coordinate onboarding, background checks, workers' comp classifications, and year-end W-2 preparation

Financial Close, Reporting & Budgeting

• Perform monthly bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations; finalize transactions and commission calculations by the 6th of each month
• Prepare accurate monthly financial statements for ownership and leadership by the 10th
• Review revenue recognition, cash postings, and commission/royalty calculations
• Lead the annual operating budget - gathering data, building models, and monitoring performance against budget

Treasury, Tax & Risk Management

• Monitor cash flow, manage forecasting/liquidity, and maintain banking relationships and credit facilities
• Prepare and file sales and property tax returns, 1099s, and multi-state registrations
• Coordinate with our external CPA firm on tax returns, audits, and year-end reporting
• Manage insurance renewals, workers' comp/GL audits, and certificates of insurance

Leadership & Collaboration

• Serve as the primary financial resource for ownership and department leaders
• Develop and improve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and support strategic decisions through financial analysis

What You'll Need

• Non-Negotiable:
  
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership responsibilities
  • QuickBooks required; multi-entity experience strongly preferred
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP, payroll, AP/AR, budgeting, and financial reporting, including multi-state payroll/tax compliance
  • Proficient in Excel and Microsoft Office
  • Excellent communication skills - you'll represent FloodGate with banks, insurers, CPAs, and vendors
  • High integrity, confidentiality, and attention to detail
  • No CPA required - this is not a credentialed accounting role
  Preferred:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Multi-entity accounting experience
  • Recruiting, staffing, or professional services industry experience

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means:

• Has run a full accounting cycle before: owned the close, reconciliations, and reporting, not just entered transactions
• Comfortable holding hard monthly deadlines (close by the 6th, statements by the 10th) without letting things slip
• Confident representing FloodGate externally with banks, insurers, CPAs, and vendors
• High integrity and discretion, given regular exposure to payroll and financial data

What This Role Is Not

• Not a CPA-credentialed tax or audit role: you'll own day-to-day compliance and coordinate with our external CPA firm for returns and audits, but no CPA license is required
• Not a narrow, single-lane accounting job: this role owns the full financial function, not one piece of it
• Not a purely transactional role: ownership and leadership rely on you for judgment, not just data entry

Perks of the Job

• Healthcare Benefits
• Cell phone reimbursement
• 401(k) with a 4% match
• Weekly company rewards based on performance
• Charitable giving through volunteer efforts, financial gifts, and support of missions
• Circle of Excellence program
• Flexible, hybrid-based work
