Job Description

Corporate Controller | Lead the Engine Behind Rapid Growth

Rare opportunity. High visibility. Real impact.

What happens when a successful company refuses to stand still?

You get a business scaling aggressively through acquisitions, evolving its infrastructure, and creating a best-in-class finance organization built to support the next stage of growth.

We're partnering with a highly entrepreneurial, Des Moines-based organization seeking a Corporate Controller to help lead that transformation.

This is not a traditional Controller role focused solely on closing the books. This is a leadership position at the center of a growing finance organization where you'll drive process excellence, lead integration efforts, influence executive decision-making, and build a scalable accounting function designed for continued expansion.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead a team of multiple Assistant Controllers and accounting professionals
• Play a critical role in acquisition integration and post-close execution
• Partner directly with executive leadership on growth initiatives
• Build and enhance processes that support a rapidly expanding organization
• Drive change management across a complex, multi-entity environment
• Join a true Center of Excellence focused on continuous improvement
• Influence the future structure of the accounting and finance function

What You'll Own

• Corporate accounting operations, reporting, and month-end close
• Oversight and development of Assistant Controllers and accounting teams
• Acquisition integrations, including process alignment and financial consolidation
• Process improvement initiatives that increase efficiency, scalability, and controls
• Financial analysis and leadership reporting
• Internal controls, policies, and accounting governance
• Cross-functional collaboration with finance, operations, technology, and executive leadership

The Opportunity

If you've ever wanted to help build something instead of simply maintain it, this is your chance.

You'll join a company with a proven track record, significant acquisition activity, and leadership that views accounting as a strategic business partner, not a back-office function.

Opportunities of this size, scope, and visibility are exceptionally rare in the Des Moines market.

What We're Looking For

• Progressive accounting leadership experience, including Controller or Assistant Controller responsibilities
• Experience leading teams through growth, transformation, or organizational change
• Strong understanding of multi-entity accounting environments
• M& A integration experience highly desirable
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
