Controller

We are building the financial backbone of a new kind of energy company in emerging nuclear technologies. Backed by a recent nine-figure funding round, we are moving from pilot to commercial scale, and we need a Controller to own accounting end to end and build the systems, controls, and reporting that carry us through that growth. This is a build role, not a maintain role. You will run the close and, at the same time, put in place the processes a capital-intensive, highly regulated business needs to finance projects, pass rigorous audits, and prepare for what comes next. If you want ownership of an accounting function from the ground up — and you want your work to help power real infrastructure — this is that seat. What You Will Own The full close: journal entries, reconciliations, and month-end reporting, start to finish The chart of accounts, cost-coding structure, and accounting policies A growing accounting team — staff accountants, project accountants, and others you'll hire and develop Audit-ready documentation and internal controls, maintained continuously to the standard a heavily regulated industry demands NetSuite as our ERP — administering, optimizing, and scaling it as project activity grows Corporate expenses, card-spend controls, and the related reconciliations, keeping spend on-policy and accurately allocated to each project Relationships with external auditors, tax preparers, and regulatory bodies Procurement accounting controls, which you'll enforce and strengthen Clean, well-organized financial documentation to support project financing, bonding, and insurance requests Ongoing improvement of accounting policies and procedures, plus other work the role calls for as we scale What You Bring Progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years as a Controller or Assistant Controller at a publicly traded company An active CPA license in any state Experience with review and filing of 10-K and 10-Q for SEC filings. A background in a regulated, capital-project environment — construction, energy, defense, or nuclear among them — is a strong plus Hands-on NetSuite depth: you've configured, optimized, and scaled it yourself in a previous role A solid command of construction or project accounting, including job costing, committed costs, budget management, and procurement accounting Working experience with SOX control frameworks Technical accounting skills that hold up to PCAOB-level audits A track record of standing up accounting processes and controls in a lean or early-stage setting Experience leading and growing accounting teams Experience with IPO Readiness or early stage companies. Why This Role Direct ownership of the accounting function, reporting into senior leadership A company with real runway and a clear commercial path The chance to build — systems, team, and controls — rather than inherit someone else's Work that ties directly to bringing new energy infrastructure online Compensation includes, base salary, bonus and equity #J-18808-Ljbffr Praxt Talent
