Collaborative Strategies is partnering with Roeslein & Associates on the search for an Enterprise Controller
.

Roeslein is a St. Louis–based, employee‑owned global engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction company delivering complex industrial and energy infrastructure projects worldwide. Known for its modular engineering and execution model, Roeslein partners with customers to design and deliver large‑scale systems focused on efficiency, innovation, and operational excellence.

This is a high‑impact accounting leadership role within a growing, multi‑entity global organization. As Roeslein continues to expand across geographies, business lines, and operating models, the company is strengthening its finance and accounting structure to support greater scale, consistency, accountability, and institutional readiness.

Reporting to the CFO, the Enterprise Controller will serve as the primary leader responsible for Roeslein’s accounting function across multiple entities. The role will also partner closely with financial reporting, FP&A, operations, treasury, tax, IT, and business leadership to improve financial visibility, reporting discipline, controls, and decision support across the enterprise.

This is not a narrow corporate accounting role. Successful candidates will bring structure without bureaucracy, elevate accounting discipline without slowing the business, and partner with leaders across the organization to create an accounting function built for Roeslein’s future.

Lead the accounting operating model across Roeslein’s corporate and subsidiary entities, ensuring consistent accounting practices, clear ownership, and reliable execution across the organization. Oversee core accounting functions including general ledger, AP, AR, payroll accounting oversight, project accounting, cost‑to‑complete accounting, intercompany reconciliations, and accounting operations supporting multiple business units and P&Ls.

Own and improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes across Roeslein’s operating entities. Establish close calendars, accountability standards, reconciliation discipline, documentation expectations, and reporting timelines that improve accuracy, consistency, and speed. Strengthen consolidation processes, internal controls, and reporting discipline to reduce variability in financial results and improve enterprise‑wide visibility.

Provide leadership across a multi‑entity environment that includes domestic and international operations. Improve coordination among accounting leaders, local finance teams, and external accounting resources to create a more unified enterprise accounting structure. Support consistency in accounting practices across geographies while recognizing the practical realities of local statutory, tax, and operating requirements.

Strengthen project accounting discipline and improve the connection between accounting outcomes and operating performance. Partner with operations and project management to improve cost‑to‑complete processes, project reporting, margin visibility, and financial accountability across project‑based work.

Bring a strong systems orientation to the accounting function. Partner with IT and operations to improve financial systems, ERP workflows, reporting tools, data consistency, and process automation. Support Oracle implementation efforts and help ensure accounting processes are designed to scale with the business. Identify legacy workflow challenges, standardize processes where appropriate, and build reliable accounting infrastructure that supports faster, cleaner, and more useful reporting.

Serve as a key accounting partner to tax, treasury, and executive leadership. Ensure accounting processes support tax compliance, intercompany discipline, statutory reporting needs, cash visibility, audit readiness, and broader enterprise reporting requirements.…
