Interim Controller

Value Driven Solutions

Contract | 3-9 months | Day rate + expenses | Travel M-F, CONUS
The mandate

Something broke in the accounting function - a sudden departure, a balance sheet that will not reconcile, a system conversion no one has the bandwidth to run. You step in fast, stabilize the close, clean up what is wrong, and hand back a function that produces reliable numbers.

Speed of deployment matters here. These placements often move within days.
What you'll own

Month-end and year-end close, including reconciliation and cleanup of legacy issues
Balance sheet integrity - inventory, accruals, reserves, intercompany, and anything else that has drifted
Accounting system transition or ERP financial module implementation and data migration
Internal controls and process documentation
Audit preparation and management of the external audit relationship
Day-to-day management of the accounting team
Support to the CFO or sponsor on reporting, diligence requests, and quality of earnings work

What you bring

10+ years in accounting, with at least 3 in a controller or assistant controller role
Manufacturing environment experience, including inventory and cost accounting
A record of cleaning up genuinely messy books, not just maintaining clean ones
Hands-on ERP experience - you can work in the system, not just review its output
CPA strongly preferred
Ability to start on short notice and be on site five days a week

Strong plus: ERP conversion or migration lead experience; PE portfolio company reporting; audit background; multi-entity or multi-site consolidation.
