Controller

Job Description

Job Description

Job Title: Controller (head of accounting/ finance department)

Location: Tucson, AZ (Hybrid work-type)

Compensation: Up to $145K base (no bonuses, higher base!)

The Kostelic Agency is excited to partner with a prominent and well-established nonprofit organization to present an incredible opportunity for an experienced, hands-on Controller. This recession-resilient organization, with a strong legacy in certifying healthcare professionals, is seeking a Controller to oversee day-to-day accounting operations in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and make a tangible impact, this role is for you. The organization values mentorship, professional growth, and a hands-on approach to leadership. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team and support their continued development as professionals.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Hands-On Leadership: This is a highly involved position—get your hands dirty while also guiding your team.
• Solid Career Path: Opportunity for growth within the department, with potential to transition into a Finance Director role in the future.
• Team Development: Lead and mentor a team eager to learn and grow professionally.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee all accounting functions, including budgeting, generating financials, and team development.
• Provide financial analysis and insights to guide strategic decisions.
• Collaborate with the team to maintain strong internal controls and ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Lead the month-end close process, financial reporting, and reconciliations.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: 12+ years total experience, with a background in overseeing hands-on financial operations in smaller organizations (targeting revenue under $200M).
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in MS Excel. NetSuite experience is a plus.
• Leadership: Strong development and leadership skills to support the team’s growth.
• Industry Experience: Non-profit background is helpful, but not essential. Prior experience in organizations of similar or smaller size is preferred.
• Core Skills: Solid financial skills, including investment management, budget creation, and generating financial reports.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Base Salary: Up to $145,000 (higher base due to no bonus structure)
• Benefits: Comprehensive package including 100% employee health coverage, 85% family coverage for dental/vision, HSA, volunteer days, and 401(k) match (4% after 4 months, 6% after 12 months).
• PTO: Generous paid time off, 3 weeks for the first 5 years, sick leave, floating holidays, and fixed holidays.

This is more than just a job—it's an opportunity to lead, grow, and make an impact in a steady, mission-driven organization. If you're passionate about financial leadership and team development, we want to hear from you.
