Controller

Controller

We're partnering with a growing, project-driven services organization looking for a hands-on Controller to take ownership of its day-to-day accounting operations and bring structure, accuracy, and discipline to the finance function.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who enjoys being close to the business. You'll own the core accounting function while partnering directly with executive leadership, Operations, Project Management, and a Fractional CFO.

This could be particularly attractive for an Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or experienced Senior Accountant who is already operating at a high level and ready to take the next step into full Controller ownership.

What You'll Do

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process
• Oversee general ledger, AP, AR, payroll, and account reconciliations
• Prepare accurate monthly financial statements, including P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow
• Manage AR aging, collections, credit holds, and overall working capital discipline
• Maintain daily visibility into cash and support a rolling 13-week cash forecast
• Prepare variance analysis and clearly explain financial performance drivers
• Develop margin reporting by customer and project
• Support commission reporting and labor-cost tracking
• Maintain revenue and cost forecasting models and support annual budgeting
• Establish and strengthen internal accounting controls and processes
• Document accounting workflows and improve reporting systems and automation
• Partner closely with the Fractional CFO on forecasting, budgeting, and financial analysis
• Work cross-functionally with Operations and Project Management to improve financial visibility and accountability

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 5-8+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong hands-on experience with full-cycle accounting and month-end close
• Solid knowledge of GAAP and financial statement preparation
• Strong understanding of AR, AP, cash flow, and working capital
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
• Ability to identify discrepancies, solve root-cause issues, and improve accounting processes
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable operating in a deadline-driven, entrepreneurial environment
• Experience with QuickBooks and expense-management systems preferred
• Experience within a project-based or service-based business is highly preferred

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Fully remote
• High-visibility role with direct access to executive leadership
• Opportunity to own and improve the accounting function
• Partner directly with an experienced Fractional CFO
• Ability to create better processes, controls, and financial visibility rather than simply maintaining the status quo
• Strong opportunity for an Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller ready to step into broader ownership

Compensation: $75,000–$90,000 annually, depending on experience.
