Controller, Finance & Banking, Financial Reporting

Description

Our client, a leading Energy Industrial Service company with $80M in annual revenue, is seeking a hands-on Controller to join their finance team. The Controller will have full ownership of the general ledger and be responsible for all aspects of accounting operations, process improvements, and technical accounting with a primary focus on percentage-of-completion (POC) revenue recognition.

+ Own and execute POC accounting and revenue recognition for long-term contracts and projects in alignment with US GAAP.

+ Prepare and present timely and accurate financial statements, internal reporting, and ad hoc analyses-including WIP reporting-leveraging Sage Intacct.

+ Ensure the integrity and accuracy of all financial data; proactively identify, investigate, and resolve discrepancies.

+ Lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closes, including all required journal entries, account reconciliations, and variance analyses.

+ Support internal and external audits by providing necessary schedules, documentation, and responding to audit queries.

+ Partner cross-functionally with project management, operations, and senior leadership to improve financial processes and drive initiatives for automation and efficiency within Sage Intacct.

+ Evaluate, design, and implement controls, policies, and procedures to support best-in-class accounting practices and regulatory compliance.

+ Maintain documentation of internal controls over financial reporting.

+ Respond to ad hoc requests from management and contribute to system, process, and growth initiatives.

Requirements

- Strong understanding of industrial and service revenue cycles.
