Controller, Finance & Banking, Financial Reporting

The spreadsheets at American Express are large, the stakes are real, and the Controller chair has been empty too long. Net it out: freelance, $100,000 - $148,000, 7 years, ownership of the finance outcome, and an American Express team that has your back.

There's a reason finance leaders keep calling American Express: this quick-to-ship Maple Grove, MN team simply refuses to ship anything mediocre. New hires ship something real in week one, because we'd rather you learn by doing.

This senior role pays $100,000 - $148,000 and comes with structured mentorship designed to sharpen your ACA and Public Speaking over time.

We bumped this posting hours ago because the role is still very much open.
