Job Description

 

CONTROLLER

 

CONTROLLER –Awesome Corporate Culture! High growth, yet maintain a great work/life balance!

 

Great opportunity to join a fast-growing company that moves quickly, thinks creatively, and values its people. We are looking for an individual who brings strong management skills, but is not afraid to get their hands dirty and pitch in wherever needed! The people work well together, have fun, and believe that strong financial leadership is crucial to scaling the business effectively.

 

This would be an ideal role for a CPA who is looking to transition out of public accounting and into a great industry role, or someone who has a combination of public accounting and industry experience.

 

Responsibilities of the Controller:

  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare and review financial statements in accordance with GAAP
  • Manage, develop, and mentor an accounting team, setting clear expectations and fostering growth
  • Maintain and improve accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
  • Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and general ledger activities
  • Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
  • Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and other third parties
  • Support special projects and ad hoc analyses as the business evolves
  • Jump in hands-on when needed—this is a leadership role, but not a “hands-off” one

Job Requirements

Qualifications of the Controller:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Accounting
  • CPA
  • 5 + years of public accounting experience or a combination of public accounting and industry experience
  • Strong people management skills with the ability to lead, coach, and motivate a team
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, changing environment
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-driven
  • A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a “no task is too big or too small” attitude
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally

 

Target salary range: $140,000 – $160,000 DOE. Benefits include generous time off, medical, dental, vision, and much more!
