Controller

Corporate Controller

A newly launched, investor-backed national platform is building its corporate finance function from the ground up. The company acquires and integrates well-run local operators in the residential services industry, keeping the brand, team, and reputation that made each business successful while centralizing the financial systems and support needed to scale. This is the platform's first corporate finance hire -- a ground-floor opportunity to build the function, not step into one that already exists. The right person will work directly with the founders, own how the finance organization is built, and have a defined path to grow into a VP of Finance or CFO role as the platform expands.
