Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

C2NC is seeking a hands‑on Controller to lead the finance and accounting function at its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility in Warsaw, North Carolina. This is an opportunity to build the financial foundation of a growth‑stage energy company: the Warsaw facility is the first of several projects planned nationwide, and the Controller will help shape the finance function as the platform grows.

C2NC operates one of the largest utility‑scale anaerobic digestion facilities in North America, converting agricultural and other organic wastes into pipeline‑grade renewable natural gas. By partnering with many of the region's largest food producers, C2NC provides an environmentally responsible alternative to conventional waste disposal while producing utility scale clean natural gas. All RNG produced at the facility is sold to Duke Energy and BP under long‑term offtake contracts.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Controller is responsible for C2NC's accounting, financial reporting, cash management, tax compliance, internal controls, plant‑level reporting, and budgeting and forecasting. The Controller will lead the accounting/finance function while remaining actively involved in the day‑to‑day work. The role works closely with executive leadership and plant operations, interacts with C2NC's Board of Managers and outside advisors, and supports reporting to lenders and investors.

This is a full‑time position that requires routine on‑site presence at the Warsaw facility, with flexibility for remote work as needed.
