The newly created In-House CPA / Accounting Controller role at Campione Law exists to centralize, strengthen, and professionalize the firm’s accounting function. This is not a traditional accountant or Senior Accountant position. The person hired will serve as the long‑term owner of accounting operations, bringing accountability, structure, and strategic insight to a function currently supported by an internal bookkeeper, outside CPA firms, and CFO oversight.
