Controller

About the Role

Our client is seeking a Controller who thrives in the details and takes pride in owning the work, not just overseeing it. This role is ideal for an accounting leader with a strong foundation in month-end close, balance sheet management, intercompany accounting, and consolidations who is ready to take on broader scope and complexity.

You'll lead a growing accounting function supporting multiple domestic and international entities, while remaining close enough to the process to understand the mechanics behind the numbers. Success in this role requires both technical depth and leadership capability, with the ability to strengthen processes, develop talent, and bring structure to a dynamic environment.

Why This Role?

The organization is growing, evolving, and investing in its finance infrastructure, creating an environment where your experience improving close processes, resolving accounting challenges, and building scalable operations will have an immediate impact.

In addition to a competitive compensation package, the role offers bonus incentives and a profit-sharing program, allowing you to directly participate in the company's success and long-term growth.

We're particularly interested in professionals whose careers demonstrate increasing ownership, responsibility, and complexity. Whether you're an established Controller, Assistant Controller, or a senior accounting leader ready for the next step, we welcome candidates who have built a track record of personally owning the close process, tackling complex accounting challenges, and developing teams.

Your Impact

• Take ownership of the monthly close process across a multi-entity organization, ensuring financial results are accurate, timely, and well-supported
• Lead domestic and international consolidations, including intercompany reconciliations, eliminations, and multi-currency considerations
• Identify, investigate, and resolve complex balance sheet issues while driving accountability across the close process
• Build scalable accounting processes and controls that support a growing and increasingly complex business
• Partner closely with operational and executive leaders to provide financial insight and improve decision-making
• Evaluate existing workflows and lead process improvement initiatives that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and visibility
• Develop and mentor accounting professionals, helping team members expand their skills, ownership, and career growth
• Lead the accounting team through periods of change, growth, and organizational evolution
• Ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and maintain a strong control environment across multiple entities
• Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership on accounting matters, financial risk, and organizational improvements

What Sets You Apart

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA preferred
• Demonstrated experience personally owning a complex month-end close process in a multi-entity environment
• Hands-on experience with international entities, intercompany accounting, and consolidations
• Strong balance sheet expertise, including reconciliations, account analysis, and resolving complex accounting issues
• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting in a multi-entity environment
• Experience working within multi-currency organizations, including foreign exchange translation and revaluation
• Advanced Excel skills and strong ERP systems experience
• Experience may have been gained in organizations of varying size and scale; candidates demonstrating increasing ownership, scope, and responsibility within complex environments are encouraged to apply
