Our client is seeking a non-traditional Finance Controller to join a small, fast-scaling company with a hands-on, growth-oriented environment. This is not a classic controller role — it’s ideal for someone who enjoys building, improving, and owning processes rather than maintaining rigid structures.

The Controller will play a critical role in monitoring transactions, managing cash flow, overseeing intercompany activity, and strengthening foundational finance processes as the business continues to scale. The primary focus will be the U.S. entity, with additional responsibility across two European operating companies.

This role is perfect for a do-er, problem solver, and team player who thrives in a startup or early-growth setting.
