Financial Comptroller - Remote

We are a founder-owned luxury transportation company, operating an asset-light model across multiple entities and states. We’re ready to add a Controller who brings deep technical accounting expertise, proven process optimization, and the drive to build infrastructure that supports the next stage of the company’s growth.
You will report directly to the CFO and work closely with an established accounting team that knows the business well. We are looking for a technical accounting partner who can own the close, lead the audit relationship, and bring structured process where it’s needed. You’ll earn autonomy quickly here: the expectation is a structured ramp-up, then the freedom to run.
Financial Reporting & Close Management

Prepare and present financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, with particular attention to revenue recognition across service types, multi-entity consolidation, and contractor/vendor accounting
Build and maintain the company’s accounting policy documentation, working with the team to codify the institutional knowledge and practices
General Ledger & Internal Control
Maintain and improve the general ledger in Workday Financials; own the chart of accounts, intercompany entries, and elimination processes across multiple entities
Identify and implement process improvements that reduce manual work
Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for external auditors; manage the audit timeline, prepare schedules, and resolve questions efficiently
Coordinate with outside tax advisors on federal and multi-state filings, ensuring the accounting team provides clean, timely data; flag tax-relevant transactions proactively
Lead a team of 1–3 accounting professionals; Serve as the functional owner of Workday Financials from an accounting perspective; partner with IT and operations to optimize configuration, reporting, and integrations

CPA license (active)

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with a meaningful portion in external audit and subsequent experience in a corporate/industry Controller or senior accounting role
• Deep working knowledge of US GAAP, particularly revenue recognition (ASC 606), multi-entity consolidations, and intercompany accounting
• Hands-on experience managing a monthly close process end to end and serving as the primary audit liaison
• Experience in a services, transportation, or other asset-light business model. The revenue recognition and cost structure patterns in these industries translate well

Working knowledge of Workday Financials, including module configuration, report building, and integration management
Exposure to founder-owned or closely held private companies, where you understand the dynamics of working with ownership directly and navigating related-entity considerations with appropriate discretion
Experience with ERP systems at an administrative or power-user level. We run Workday Financials, but we are more interested in your ability to learn and optimize a system than in whether you’ve used this specific one. If you’ve been a strong user of NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Sage Intacct, or a comparable platform, you’ll adapt.
Multi-entity and multi-state accounting experience. We operate across state lines and support related legal entities — you need to be comfortable with consolidation complexity and varied compliance requirement
Familiarity with AI-powered accounting tools or a clear point of view on where automation should replace manual effort in the close, reconciliation, and reporting cycle. The CFO will invest time in onboarding you and building the relationship, then expects to step back. We want your perspective, especially when you see risk or disagree with a direction. Your value-add is connecting business knowledge to the accounting and reporting implications — explaining complex treatments and risks in clear, accessible terms
When something needs fixing — a process, a reconciliation, a deadline — you don’t just flag it. We do expect you to Immerse yourself in the business — understand how we generate revenue, where cash moves, who our key partners and vendors are, and how the operational model connects to the financials
Conduct a thorough assessment of the current state of the books, the close process, internal controls, and the Workday configuration. Build relationships with the external audit partner, outside tax advisor, banking contacts, and key internal stakeholders.
We believe that proximity matters — especially during your first several months when relationship-building and hands-on assessment of our processes require being in the room. That said, we are adults. Periodic remote work to accommodate life is expected and supported; we simply don’t operate on a permanent hybrid or remote schedule. This role may involve occasional travel to other company locations.

Salary: On-Target Earnings: $150,000 based on experience and competency.
