Controller in Franklin Park, Illinois

Camino Controller Opportunity

Camino is partnering with a fast-growing software holding company that owns and operates a decentralized portfolio of software businesses. The business consolidates accounting, reporting, and finance centrally while its portfolio companies run day-to-day operations independently, giving it the pace and flexibility of a group of small companies with the reporting rigor of one unified organization. The company is in an active growth phase, having recently completed a series of acquisitions, and is now investing in building a best in class accounting function.

We're looking for a hands-on Controller to own day-to-day accounting operations and be a close partner to the CFO. This is a builder's role: you'll set up and organize the books, lead a transition to a modern accounting platform, and manage the accounting implications of a growing, multi-entity, multi-currency structure across the portfolio. Great fit for someone who wants to build and organize a function, not maintain one that's already built.

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process across the consolidated group, ensuring GAAP compliance
• Set up, organize, and standardize the books across portfolio companies where consistency doesn't yet exist
• Manage the general ledger, AP, AR, and revenue recognition at the HQ level
• Lead the finance side of a transition to a modern accounting platform, including chart of accounts design and data migration, followed by an AP automation rollout
• Own consolidation for multiple entities, including multi-currency reporting across the portfolio
• Serve as the connective tissue between portfolio-company bookkeepers and HQ finance, without requiring a fully centralized back office
• Partner with the CFO on banking consolidation and broader finance infrastructure as the company scales
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy in an early stage, fast-moving environment

• Progressive accounting experience with Controller or Assistant Controller-level scope
• Multi-entity, multi-currency accounting and consolidation experience
• CPA
• Comfortable building and organizing books and processes from scratch, rather than maintaining an already-mature environment
• Prior experience in a decentralized, multi-entity, or acquisitive company structure (holding company, roll-up, or PE-backed portfolio company) is a plus
• Software/SaaS industry experience preferred
• Motivated and comfortable in a raw, fast-paced environment
