Portfolio Controller

About Us

Broad Peak Investment Group (BIG) is a multi-company investment platform that acquires, builds, and scales businesses across a diverse set of industries: mobility/EV, sports and entertainment, food and beverage manufacturing, hospitality and recreation, indoor entertainment / technology licensing, and education. Our active portfolio spans early-stage joint ventures to mature, multi-hundred-location franchise operations.

We're hiring a hands‑on Portfolio Controller to own accounting across the full BIG platform — every owned and majority‑controlled company, every new startup and joint venture, and the family‑office entities behind them. This is not a single‑entity bookkeeping role. You will build, standardize, automate, and run the accounting function for a growing group of businesses that vary widely in industry, deal structure, and financial maturity: from newly‑formed entities with no accounting history to mature franchise systems with decades of financial infrastructure.

Atlanta, GA — on‑site.

• Multi‑entity accounting & close.
  
  Run monthly close, the general ledger, and financial reporting across all portfolio and family‑office entities on a fixed cadence; build a standardized chart of accounts and templates so every entity rolls up cleanly to a BIG‑level consolidated view; own AP/AR, payroll coordination, intercompany, and cash management for entities without dedicated finance staff.
• Portfolio & family‑office reporting.
  
  Produce consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow by entity and rolled up, plus investment‑level views for the Investment team; flag cash burn, working‑capital issues, and covenant / loan‑compliance risk early; support family‑office reporting across holding companies, real estate, trusts, and personal entities with discretion; support deal teams with financial due diligence.
• New entity & deal integration.
  
  Stand up accounting infrastructure for newly acquired or launched entities within 30–60 days of close — chart of accounts, banking, and initial controls; coordinate with legal on entity‑structure implications, including JV structures with domestic / international splits and multi‑currency needs; support franchise‑specific accounting (FDD financial disclosures, royalty tracking, unit‑level economics).
• Systems, automation & AI.Own the accounting tech stack across the group — Quick Books Online for early‑stage and smaller entities, scaling to Net Suite (or comparable ERP) as entities mature — and lead migrations cleanly; deploy AI and automation across the close, AP/AR, reconciliations, reporting, and anomaly detection to run a lean function at operator speed.
• Global team leadership.
  
  Build, manage, and develop a hybrid U.S. and offshore accounting team; set the standards, workflows, and review structure that let a distributed team deliver an accurate, on‑time close.
• Controls, tax & compliance.
  
  Implement practical financial controls across entities that currently have none, plus a documented controls checklist used for every future acquisition; manage external tax and audit relationships as needed, per entity.

• Systems — both ends of the spectrum.
  
  Hands‑on experience with corporate ERP (Net Suite or comparable) and small‑business accounting (Quick Books) is required; you’ve run both and migrated between them.
• AI & automation — a must.
  
  Demonstrated, hands‑on experience implementing and using AI‑driven automation in a finance or business context. You can point to specific tools you deployed and the time and cost they removed.
• Global team building.
  
  Track record building and managing offshore / distributed accounting teams for multi‑entity or global operations.
• 8+ years of accounting experience, with meaningful time in private equity portfolio accounting, family‑office accounting, or multi‑entity corporate accounting (public accounting with PE / family‑office clients also works), including standing up accounting functions from scratch.
• Comfort with ambiguity and variety— you’ll context‑switch across manufacturing, hospitality, sports, and consumer franchise businesses in the same week — plus strong Excel / financial‑modeling skills and…
