Financial Management & Comptroller

Financial Controller Clearwater, Florida | Office-based | $125,000–$150,000 + performance upside

I’m partnering with a fast-growing, founder-led ecommerce investment and operating group approaching $100m in revenue. The business is expected to double over the next year, with a long-term ambition to build this division into a $1bn operation.

You’ll be the CFO’s right hand and take hands-on ownership of finance across six funds, one separately managed account, a parent entity and 20 consumer brands. The environment is fast, entrepreneurial and highly commercial, so you must be comfortable moving between detailed accounting work and broader business decisions.

Fund-level P&Ls and consolidated financial reporting

• Cash forecasting, cash management and purchase approvals
• Investor reporting and ad hoc investor requests
• Inventory accounting and weighted-average costing
• Audit readiness, controls and US GAAP compliance
• Financial analysis and due diligence for future acquisitions
• Developing the existing Accounting Manager and helping build the wider finance team

• A foundation in Big Four or another strong public accounting firm
• Experience owning complex reporting, close or audit work across multiple entities
• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large or imperfect datasets
• Experience within funds, investment management, private equity, ecommerce or an acquisitive business would be valuable, but is not essential

Intelligence, pace, ownership and the ability to solve difficult problems matter far more.

The role is office-based in Clearwater, so you must be within commuting distance or willing to relocate.

If you’re a high-calibre CPA who wants genuine access to the founders, exposure to acquisitions and the opportunity to help build the finance function behind a rapidly scaling business, I’d love to hear from you.
