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 CPA qualification and strong command of US GAAP

• 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

This could suit an Audit Manager ready to make a high-impact move into industry, or an ambitious Accounting Manager, Finance Manager or Assistant Controller looking for a much broader seat.
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.
