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.
