Are You the Controller We’re Looking For?

At Withers Worldwide, we’re looking for a Controller who sees details in the numbers that others miss.

You’re analytical, disciplined, and willing to make calculated decisions after carefully evaluating the factors that affect the business. You take ownership of your department’s success and pride yourself on ensuring financial operations run accurately, efficiently, and smoothly.

You bring a composed, conscientious, and rational approach to financial discussions. You enjoy creating structure, establishing reliable systems, and developing processes that make your team more effective.

Most importantly, you don’t just report the numbers. You understand what drives them, recognize opportunities others overlook, and help leadership make better business decisions.

If this sounds like you, we’d like to meet you.

Your Five Key Accountabilities

As Controller, you will take ownership of five critical areas of our financial operations:

1. Financial Reporting & Month-End Close

Manage the month-end close and deliver accurate, timely financial packages, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and budget-versus-actual reporting, to the leadership team.

2. Profitability & Margin Analysis

Report profitability by business line (transportation, warehousing, and installation) and by major customer. Identify opportunities to improve margins and recommend pricing adjustments where profitability falls short.

3. Accounting Operations & Oversight

Manage all accounting functions, including accounts payable, accounts receivable and billing, payroll, general ledger, fixed assets, job costing, and revenue recognition. Lead the accounting team and ensure accuracy, accountability, and efficiency across the department.

4. Banking & Lender Relationships

Serve as the primary liaison with banks and lenders, including management of the company’s line of credit and equipment financing. Monitor financial covenants and secure competitive rates for banking, merchant, and payment services.

5. Tax, Licensing & Regulatory Compliance

Manage tax, licensing, and regulatory compliance in coordination with our outside CPA. Ensure required filings, renewals, and financial reporting obligations are completed accurately and on time.
