Controller ​/ Leader of Finance

(In-office Monday--Thursday, remote Fridays)

Rhode Sense is a growing 3PL and freight brokerage operating across commercial freight and military household goods relocation, with a presence in Rochester, Denver, and Charlotte. We're scaling toward $20M plus in revenue and looking for a finance leader to help us get there.

We're hiring a Controller / Leader of Finance to own our accounting function end-to-end while also driving the financial strategy behind our growth - budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to build, not just maintain.

• Manage and grow our accounting team; own month-end and year-end close
• Maintain accurate financials across HQ and branch locations
• Own our annual budget model and lead quarterly reforecasts
• Build and manage rolling cash flow forecasts for a freight-brokerage payment cycle
• Manage banking relationships and working capital needs
• Support financial recordkeeping tied to our work as a DOW subcontractor

• 7+ years in accounting/finance, with 2+ years leading a team
• Logistics, freight, or transportation industry experience strongly preferred
• Strong Excel modeling chops
• QBO and  expert
• Bachelor's in Accounting or Finance; CPA a plus
• Comfortable in a multi-location, mixed W-2/1099 environment
• Government contracting or compliance (CMMC/DFARS) exposure is a plus, not required

Base salary range: $110,000-$125,000, commensurate with experience, plus performance bonus.

You'll have real ownership over the finance function at a company that’s growing fast, with direct access to leadership and the chance to shape financial strategy - not just report on it.
