Controller, Accounting, Financial Reporting

Aspen Mountain Partners acquires and operates successful small businesses with one guiding principle: find great companies with loyal, talented, driven team members, then help those teams grow. Through the hard work of our people, we have grown from a two-person operation into a complex, nationwide organization with hundreds of team members. Our next chapter includes additional acquisitions, cultural integration, operational improvements, and the launch of new business lines.

We are continuing to build an ideal team to make this happen.

We are seeking a hands‑on Controller to lead financial operations across a growing portfolio of small businesses. This is not a siloed corporate accounting role. The right person will be comfortable moving between strategic financial leadership and day‑to‑day execution. You will serve as the internal financial authority for multiple operating companies, with a particular focus on small business accounting, pass‑through entities, tax compliance, cash management, and process improvement.

We are looking for someone who can bring deep expertise in C‑Corp and LLC accounting structures, strengthen internal controls, improve financial visibility, and reduce our reliance on external CPAs by building strong internal accounting and tax compliance capabilities.

Aspen Mountain Partners is a challenging, entrepreneurial, and fulfilling place to work. Our culture is rooted in teamwork and continuous improvement. We care deeply about the businesses we operate, the people we work with, and the positive impact our companies can have on customers, employees, families, and communities. We look for team members who are humble, hungry, and smart. We believe high standards and healthy balance can coexist.

If you are ready to contribute to meaningful work, and build a lasting career in a growing family of businesses, we would love to hear from you.
