Controller - Atlanta, GA
Shape the Financial Future of a Growing Organization





Are you an accounting/finance professional with a passion for leadership and strategic impact? A successful and established company with more than 20 years of operational excellence is seeking a Controller to take charge of its financial operations. This is a pivotal opportunity for a seasoned Controller to join a thriving team and contribute to ongoing success through forward-thinking financial management and leadership.


Located in the heart of Atlanta, this organization is known for its strong values, supportive culture, and commitment to professional development. As a Controller , you'll enjoy a role that blends hands-on financial oversight with strategic advisory responsibilities-making it the perfect opportunity for someone looking to elevate their career in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Why This Controller Role Stands Out:
  • Strategic Impact - The Controller will directly influence the financial direction and performance of the company.

  • Professional Growth - Be part of a growing team with real opportunities for advancement.

  • Work-Life Balance - Generous PTO and flexible work culture promote long-term employee satisfaction.

  • Exceptional Benefits - Including comprehensive health insurance, a 401(k) with company match, and more.

  • Vibrant Location - Work in bustling Atlanta, surrounded by top-tier restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.

Key Responsibilities of the Controller:
In this critical role, the Controller will oversee daily accounting operations and provide high-level financial insight to senior leadership. Responsibilities include:

  • Financial Oversight: Manage all accounting functions including Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), billing, and general ledger activity with accuracy and efficiency.

  • Cash Flow Management: Oversee bank accounts and cash flow, ensuring strong liquidity and operational continuity.

  • Month-End Close & Reporting: Lead month-end close processes, including journal entries, reconciliations, and timely financial reporting.

  • Audit & Compliance: Coordinate all external audits and ensure the company meets regulatory and internal compliance standards.

  • Tax Compliance: Oversee preparation and filing of sales, use, and other applicable taxes.

  • Strategic Financial Analysis: Prepare in-depth monthly and quarterly financial reports to support executive decision-making and long-term planning.

Qualifications for the Controller Role:
To succeed as a Controller in this organization, you should bring:

  • A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (MBA is a plus).

  • CPA certification is highly desirable.

  • A minimum of 3+ years in a similar Controller or senior accounting role.

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.

  • Proficiency in financial reporting, cash flow forecasting, and accounting software.

  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and collaborate across departments.

Why You Should Become This Organization's Next Controller:
This is more than just a job-it's a chance to become a key player in a company that's growing, evolving, and valuing its employees every step of the way. As the Controller , your expertise will help shape policies, drive success, and influence strategic outcomes.


If you're a driven financial professional looking to step into a leadership role that offers purpose, challenge, and opportunity, this Controller position is the next move for you.
