Controller

Salary: $80,000 – $100,000
Location:
Indianapolis, IN
Schedule:
Full-time, on-site (hybrid — 2 days WFH once fully trained)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


• Our client is a fast-growing, modern landscaping organization that is redefining its industry

• High-impact leadership role with a true seat at the table — your ideas and voice matter

• Opportunity to help scale a growing business with smarter financial strategy and systems

• Hands-on environment ideal for a Controller who enjoys building, improving, and leading

• Supportive, people-first culture that values ownership, creativity, and accountability

• Strong growth runway with future leadership expansion opportunities

• Collaborative, energetic team that works hard and celebrates success



Key Responsibilities for the Controller:


• Own budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning across multiple business units

• Drive cash flow optimization and investment planning initiatives

• Deliver clear, actionable financial insights to support executive decision-making

• Oversee and refine payroll operations, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance

• Partner with HR on compensation, benefits, bonuses, and deductions

• Produce GAAP-compliant financial statements including P&L and balance sheets

• Lead audits, tax filings, and regulatory compliance efforts

• Build, implement, and enforce internal controls and financial SOPs

• Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing finance team

• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, sales, and procurement

• Own and evolve the financial tech stack and ERP/accounting systems

Qualifications for the Controller:


• 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience

• 3+ years in a Controller or Assistant Controller role

• Strong knowledge of GAAP and end-to-end financial operations

• Experience in fast-growing or evolving environments; service, construction, or project-based industries a plus

• ERP or accounting system implementation experience strongly preferred

• CPA preferred but not required

• People-first leadership mindset with a collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves approach
