Controller

We’re partnering with a stable, mission-driven multi-entity organization to help them find their next Controller. The Controller will step into a highly visible leadership role supporting multiple business units. This is an opportunity for a hands‑on accounting leader who wants to own the function, influence strategy, mentor a small team, but be involved in driving meaningful process improvements in a complex / rewarding environment that is diverse and values teamwork! Why This Role Stands Out Opportunity to step into a leadership role with real autonomy Exposure to multi‑entity accounting structures Direct partnership with executive leadership Ability to modernize and improve existing processes A highly collaborative, supportive, and team‑oriented environment This is not a plug‑and‑play role – I’d describe it as more an improve and lead change opportunity. Compensation $130,000 – $150,000 base salary (DOE) Medical, dental, and vision insurance Employer‑sponsored retirement plan Employer‑funded pension component with a company match Personal Time Off (PTO) 120 hours (4.62 hrs. accrued on an ongoing basis Paid holidays Company‑paid life insurance, AD&D, and long‑term disability Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Additional voluntary benefits including supplemental insurance options What You’ll Be Doing Lead accounting and financial reporting across multiple entities Oversee month‑end close, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation Manage budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow reporting Drive audit preparation and execution Oversee AP, AR, and cash management processes Partner with leadership to provide financial insights and reporting Mentor and lead a small accounting team Evaluate current workflows and implement process improvements and efficiencies The 'True' Opportunity This environment has historically relied on manual processes and individual ownership, creating a huge opportunity for transformation. You will have the ability to: Build structure and documentation Streamline workflows Improve efficiency across the accounting function Act as a true change agent If you enjoy fixing, designing / building, and improving, this is where you’ll thrive!
