Controller Opportunity Santa Monica, CA

A growing small company managing its own portfolio of assets—including real estate, agriculture, and private investments—is hiring a Controller to join its executive leadership team. As a Controller of a small company, you must wear many different hats. In other words, as a Controller, you are 15% Accountant, 25% Accounting Manager, 40% Controller, 20% CFO.

Overview
  • Location: 100% onsite in Santa Monica, CA
  • Compensation: Base salary up to $170K + performance-based bonus
  • Team size: Fewer than 10 employees
Why This Role Stands Out

This newly created position offers direct exposure to the President and strategic input across asset classes. It’s ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, values stability, and enjoys wearing multiple hats—from accounting leadership to investment analysis.

Qualifications
  • Minimum 5–7 years of experience as a Controller in the U.S.
  • Strong tenure at previous companies
  • Background in small company environments
  • Proficient in QuickBooks
  • Experience overseeing financial operations, team management, and investment reporting
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business

Discretion and hands-on leadership are essential. The role blends operational finance with strategic oversight of diverse holdings, including farms and private equities.

If you excel in stable, high-impact roles and are ready to lead, we welcome your application.

Seniority level
  • Mid-Senior level
Employment type
