Accountant, Financial Reporting, Financial Controller

Complete Filtration Resources is a filtration equipment and wastewater treatment company operating across two entities (U.S. and Denmark). We are seeking an Accountant to serve as the direct report to the Controller — a hands‑on accounting leader who owns the mechanics of the monthly close, financial statement preparation, and compliance. This is a growth‑oriented role: as the company works through platform integration, ERP transition, and other post‑acquisition work streams, this person should expect to increasingly run day‑to‑day controllership — independently owning the close and combined financial statements.

Someone who performs well here should see a credible path toward a Controller‑level role as the platform scales.

• Own the recurring compliance calendar across both entities — audit, tax, and other statutory requirements — so nothing gets missed as reporting needs evolve.
• Maintain accurate, GAAP‑compliant revenue recognition on project‑based work, including the schedules and calculations that support it.
• Support external audit, tax preparation, and any PE sponsor diligence requests with organized, audit‑ready documentation.
• Maintain internal controls appropriate for a PE‑owned, sponsor‑reviewed company.
• Partner with the Controller on compliance items tied to project execution, such as financing instruments and guarantees required for certain contracts.
• Keep Denmark‑entity compliance current and coordinated with the Controller.
• Prepare monthly combined (U.S. + Denmark) financial statements — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow.
• Own the month‑end close process: journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and intercompany eliminations.
• Prepare variance analysis (budget vs. actual) with clear explanations behind material swings.
• Maintain the supporting schedules and analyses that feed the monthly financial package.
• Ensure consistent, accurate use of source data across entities and flag discrepancies before they reach final statements.
• Prepare first‑draft summaries of bookings, backlog, and pipeline to feed executive and PE reporting.

• Manage the recurring monthly cycle of data pulls and workbook updates across reporting and forecasting files for both entities.
• Assist in building executive and PE‑facing materials — monthly financial review decks, dashboards, and ad‑hoc analyses — with an eye toward clean, simple output.
• Partner with operational stakeholders to keep source data current and reliable.
• Take on ad hoc requests from the Controller and executive team as they arise — this role should expect variety and be comfortable prioritizing on the fly.
• Bring a working understanding of clear, fact‑anchored financial storytelling so materials this role touches are consistent with how the company communicates results.

Accountant will work under the Controller

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including time in public accounting and industry.
• Experience with multi‑entity or multi‑currency consolidations preferred; international experience a plus.
• Experience with project‑based or percentage‑of‑completion revenue recognition a plus.
• Prior experience in a PE‑owned or PE‑transitioning company a plus.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working across ERP systems.
• High attention to detail, sound judgment, and a bias toward asking questions rather than assuming when data is incomplete.
• Strong written communication skills; able to translate financial detail into a clear narrative.
• Comfortable operating with increasing autonomy over time and growing into greater ownership of the close.
