Controller, Finance & Banking, Corporate Finance

Headfarmer is partnering with a growing multi-location consumer business that has reached an inflection point. The company has experienced significant growth, and leadership is looking for an accounting leader who can bring structure, accountability, and visibility to the financial operation.

The right person won't just maintain the books—they'll improve how the business operates.

You'll work directly with a highly engaged CEO who values finance and accounting as a competitive advantage.

The company is investing in systems, process improvements, and growth initiatives, but first needs someone who can create a strong accounting foundation.

• Creating reporting that leaders actually use
• Bringing order to messy environments
• Building trust through accurate financial information
• Being the person who "owns the numbers"

...you'll likely find this role rewarding.

During your first year, you'll focus on:

• Establishing a disciplined monthly close process
• Improving financial visibility for leadership
• Strengthening controls and accounting procedures
• Streamlining manual workflows through automation and technology
• Creating consistency across multiple operating locations
• Partnering with operational leaders to improve financial accountability
• Supporting budgeting, cash management, and business planning efforts

This is a highly visible position where your work will have a direct impact on company performance.

We're looking for a Controller who enjoys being hands‑on.

Someone who:

• Can roll up their sleeves when necessary
• Doesn’t wait to be told what needs fixing
• Asks thoughtful questions
• Takes ownership of outcomes
• Balances attention to detail with practical business judgment
• Enjoys partnering with leaders outside of finance

You don’t need experience in the exact industry.

You do need experience leading accounting in a multi‑location, operationally complex environment.

Candidates may come from:

• Retail
• Hospitality
• Franchise organizations
• Consumer products
• Multi‑unit service businesses

CPA is a plus, but practical leadership experience matters more.

• Direct exposure to executive leadership
• Opportunity to shape processes rather than inherit them
• Visibility across the entire organization
• Career growth as the business continues to expand
• Competitive compensation, bonus opportunity, and long‑term upside

If you’re the type of Controller who sees inefficiency and immediately starts thinking about how to improve it, we’d like to talk.
