Controller

$70 per hour
Temporary

Kforce has a client that is seeking a Controller. This position could be located in Manhattan, NY or Boston, MA. This could be a contract or hire role or straight perm hire. Summary: Are you a hands-on accounting leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and wants the opportunity to build, scale, and influence a finance organization from the ground up? Our client is seeking a seasoned Controller to serve as the company's most senior dedicated accounting leader, reporting directly to the VP of Finance & Commercial Strategy. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of the entire accounting function, design scalable processes, and partner closely with executive leadership while supporting a rapidly growing, technology-driven business. In this highly visible role, you will lead all aspects of accounting operations, including month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close, financial reporting, general ledger management, and US GAAP compliance. You will be the subject matter expert for complex revenue recognition across subscription, transaction-based, partnership, and affiliate revenue streams, ensuring compliance with ASC 606 and advising leadership on the accounting implications of strategic business decisions. This role is ideal for a self-starter who enjoys both strategic leadership and hands-on execution. As the organization grows, you will have the opportunity to build and mentor an accounting team while serving as a trusted advisor to Finance, FP&A, Revenue Operations, Engineering, HR, and executive leadership. You'll play a critical role in shaping accounting policies, evaluating new business initiatives, supporting international expansion, and presenting key financial insights to senior stakeholders.

  • Active CPA strongly preferred
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or equivalent)
  • Deep expertise in US GAAP and ASC 606 revenue recognition
  • Experience supporting SaaS, subscription, marketplace, fintech, e-commerce, or technology-enabled business models
  • Proven success independently leading close processes, consolidations, technical accounting, and financial reporting in a high-growth environment
  • Strong knowledge of payroll accounting, stock-based compensation (ASC 718), intercompany accounting, tax compliance, and multi-entity operations
  • Ability to build processes from scratch, operate autonomously, and translate accounting complexity into meaningful business insights
Candidates currently serving as Controllers or high-performing Assistant Controllers ready to take the next step in their careers are encouraged to apply.
