Controller, Accounting, Accounting Manager

Controller

All Pro Security was founded in 2006 by a Utah police captain with a simple conviction: security should be proactive, accountable, and visible. Twenty years later, that conviction still drives us. We protect people and property across the U.S. — through security officers, mobile patrol, remote video monitoring and other advanced technologies, event staffing, and constable and court services.

In 2024, we partnered with Northrim Horizon, a permanent-capital investment firm that acquires well-run, profitable businesses and holds them for the long haul, reinvesting earnings back into the company and its people. That backing has accelerated our growth into new markets and new service lines through strategic acquisitions.

The Controller leads All Pro Security's accounting operations and is accountable for the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of the monthly close process across a multi-entity, multi-state organization. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance & Accounting, this is a hands-on player-coach role: you will help manage and develop a team of two, own the monthly close end-to-end, oversee payroll and tax compliance, and serve as the company's authority on GAAP, internal controls, and accounting systems.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who knows how to build scalable close processes to compress the close, streamline AR/AP and payroll workflows, and free the team from repetitive manual work so they can focus on accuracy, analysis, and controls.

This role sits at the center of a growing, PE-backed platform, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys maintaining financial integrity and partnering with leadership to drive informed business decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the monthly close end-to-end — journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals — closing on schedule every period
• Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts, ensuring consistency and comparability as new entities, regions, and service lines are added
• Ensure financial statements comply with U.S. GAAP and are audit-ready
• Ensure compliance with federal and multi-state payroll and business tax requirements
• Train, mentor, and develop the accounting team
• Oversee accounts receivable, contract and post billing, collections, and revenue accuracy across recurring and event-based work
• Oversee accounts payable, vendor management, and expense workflows
• Coordinate with external auditors, tax preparers, lenders, and other outside financial partners
• Automate reconciliations, variance analysis, journal entry preparation, invoice capture and coding, and close checklists — measurably shortening the close while strengthening accuracy and audit trails
• Own accounting systems and ERP strategy, including system implementation and integrations with payroll, scheduling, and billing platforms
• Support accounting integration for acquisitions — onboarding new entities onto the chart of accounts, close calendar, and control environment
• Manage a variety of projects across accounting, reporting, and process improvements
