Position Overview

The Controller is responsible for building and running a disciplined, scalable accounting function that supports a fast‑growing, emerging franchisor. As JETSET continues to expand, financial complexity increases across franchise fee billing, recurring royalty and brand fund collections, vendor payments, revenue recognition, cash flow management, month‑end close, and audit readiness. The Controller brings structure, accuracy, and accountability to that environment.

This role owns the integrity of the general ledger and the monthly close process, while overseeing core accounting operations, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank reconciliations, accruals, balance sheet reconciliations, and financial controls. The Controller ensures that financial reporting is timely, reliable, and decision‑useful for leadership, while helping build the processes, controls, and operating discipline required for scale.

Acting as the bridge between day‑to‑day accounting execution and broader finance leadership, the Controller helps transform accounting from a transactional function into a dependable operating backbone for the business.
