Controller

Controller

Salary: $140-$170K base + incentives

We are seeking a hands-on Controller to join a high-growth, mission-driven advanced materials recovery and environmental technology organization that is entering a significant growth phase.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a foundational leadership role where you will directly shape the accounting infrastructure and help build a finance function designed for long-term growth and public-company readiness. You will work closely with senior finance leadership in an environment that is actively evolving, with significant visibility across the business and a high degree of ownership.

Controller - Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct exposure to public-company readiness initiatives, including audit preparation and compliance frameworks
• Significant involvement in systems transformation, including a transition to NetSuite and ongoing process optimization
• Broad operational exposure across complex financial areas, including manufacturing-style accounting, R&D-related activity, project accounting, and capital asset tracking
• Opportunity to partner closely with executive leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and strategic financial planning
• Strong foundational accounting team already in place, providing a platform to build and scale
• High-impact leadership role with input into team structure and future hires
• Hybrid flexibility with a Denver-based organization and openness to remote arrangements

Controller - Key Responsibilities:

• Own and manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Oversee general ledger accounting and maintain strong internal controls to ensure audit-ready financials at all times
• Lead accounting operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable support, payroll accounting oversight, and fixed asset accounting
• Drive systems implementation and optimization efforts, including migration to NetSuite and improved financial reporting processes
• Partner with senior finance leadership on budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and broader strategic initiatives

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with prior Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior accounting leadership experience
• Strong public-company accounting background with deep understanding of U.S. GAAP and audit requirements
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite (or comparable ERP), strong Excel skills, and proven ownership of month-end close processes
