This individual will own the accounting infrastructure supporting accounts payable, accounts receivable and collections, payroll accounting, treasury and cash operations, inventory and cost accounting, general ledger integrity, and internal controls.

As the organization continues to scale organically and through acquisition, the Controller will be responsible for building efficient, well‑controlled, and increasingly automated accounting processes while leading the financial integration of acquired businesses. This role will partner closely with Finance leadership to ensure accurate, timely, and audit‑ready financial information while developing the people, systems, and processes required to support continued growth.

Candidates will be expected to be in the office 3-4 days in the office.

Responsibilities
  • Lead and oversee daily accounting operations across accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing and collections, payroll accounting, treasury and cash management, fixed assets, inventory, cost accounting, and intercompany transactions.
  • Ensure the accuracy and integrity of the general ledger by maintaining effective sub‑ledgers, reconciliations, and transactional accounting processes, with a strong focus on timeliness and accuracy.
  • Strengthen working capital performance through effective management of accounts receivable, collections, payables, cash application, and treasury functions.
  • Build and maintain a scalable internal control framework across accounting operations, ensuring appropriate documentation, compliance, consistency, and audit readiness.
  • Act as a primary liaison for external auditors and coordinate the preparation and delivery of supporting documentation related to transactional accounting and balance sheet activities.
  • Oversee transactional tax compliance, including sales and use, property, and payroll taxes, while collaborating with internal teams and external advisors on broader tax matters.
  • Lead the accounting integration of acquired businesses, including financial process onboarding, chart‑of‑accounts alignment, ERP and system conversions, intercompany accounting, and standardization of accounting policies and procedures.
  • Partner with Finance and leadership teams to support financial due diligence and establish efficient, repeatable processes for Day 1 readiness and post‑acquisition integration.
  • Identify and implement opportunities for process improvement, automation, and standardization across high‑volume accounting activities to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
  • Collaborate with IT and cross‑functional stakeholders on ERP enhancements, system implementations, data integrity, reporting capabilities, and other technology initiatives.
  • Build, lead, and develop a high‑performing accounting organization by establishing clear roles and accountability, promoting cross‑training, documenting key processes, and developing succession plans.
  • Partner closely with Finance leadership to ensure accounting operations support accurate and timely financial reporting, forecasting, cash management, and informed business decisions.
  • Provide accounting and finance leadership with insights and support on working capital, internal controls, acquisition integration, and other strategic initiatives.
Qualifications & Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline required; CPA, MBA, or advanced degree preferred.
  • 8-10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Controller‑level or comparable accounting leadership experience.
