Bevel Financial is a commercial financing marketplace that connects mid-market businesses — in construction, industrial, medical, commercial real estate, business acquisition, and aviation — to a network of institutional capital sources. Rather than lending directly from a single balance sheet, Bevel operates as a curated portal into a broad lender network, giving clients faster access to competitive rates and structures across financing products.

The team is small, high-trust, and hands-on, which places a premium on disciplined financial stewardship as the business scales.

Bevel Financial is hiring a Controller to be the company's senior finance point person: the individual who leads the external audit relationship, owns the accuracy and organization of financial reporting and data, and runs treasury and cash management. Bevel outsources its day-to-day bookkeeping and audit work to outside firms — this role does not perform hands-on accounting — but it requires enough command of GAAP and financial reporting mechanics to represent the company credibly to auditors, resolve technical questions, and know when something in the numbers doesn't look right.

Critically, this is not a role for someone who only reviews reports that others have built:
Bevel needs a Controller who can personally build, troubleshoot, and improve the reporting and data infrastructure itself, not just read its output. In practice, much of the job is project management — coordinating people, data, and deadlines across the audit, reporting, and treasury work streams so nothing falls through the cracks. The role also carries oversight of the company's technology systems — ensuring they are properly administered, secured, and supported — though not their build-out or development, which sits elsewhere in the organization.

Audit Leadership

• Serve as the primary point of contact and project lead for Bevel's outsourced audit firm, managing the annual audit (and any interim reviews) from planning through completion, including the audit calendar and information requests across teams.
• Apply GAAP knowledge to represent the company credibly in audit discussions, work through technical accounting questions, and review proposed findings or adjustments before they're finalized.
• Manage relationships with the outsourced audit firm, outside accounting/bookkeeping providers, tax preparers, and other financial service vendors.

Financial Reporting, Data & Process Management

• Own the accuracy, organization, and timeliness of Bevel's financial reporting package — P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — sourced from outsourced or internal bookkeeping.
• Build and maintain the data infrastructure and reporting processes that keep financial records well-organized, reconciled, and audit-ready at all times, not just at year-end.
• Gather, validate, and assemble supporting documentation needed for audits, lender reporting, or leadership review, and present results and metrics to leadership clearly.
• Standardize financial processes and internal controls, and identify opportunities to improve, simplify, or automate them, while ensuring compliance with GAAP and other regulatory reporting requirements.

Treasury & Cash Management

• Own day-to-day treasury operations, including monitoring cash positions, disbursements, and liquidity across all company accounts.
• Build and maintain rolling cash flow forecasts and liquidity…
