About the Opportunity

My client, one of the most established and well-respected technology companies in Southern California, is looking to hire a Global Controller. This is the kind of role that defines a career: full enterprise ownership, a direct line to the executive team, and the authority to lead a finance function the right way. If you have spent years earning your seat at the table, this is the table.

This is a hands‑on executive leadership role, not a strategic overlay position. You will own the accounting function end-to-end: the people, the processes, the reporting, and the controls infrastructure. The company is mature, well‑capitalized, and serious about doing accounting right, which means you will have the resources and the support to actually execute.

Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.

Responsibilities

Set the strategic direction for the accounting team, including how the function is structured, how performance is measured, and how people grow inside it
Own the integrity of the company's financial reporting from first close entry to final consolidated statement, with accountability for accuracy, timing, and executive presentation
Design and maintain the controls environment across multiple accounting frameworks, making sure every policy is current, tested, and built to hold up under scrutiny
Lead the company's external audit process across all required entities, managing auditor relationships, coordinating deliverables, and keeping the timeline on track from planning through sign‑off
Partner directly with the CFO and executive leadership to translate financial results into business intelligence, flagging risks early and surfacing opportunities before they become obvious
Work across the organization with legal, operations, HR, and finance peers to make sure accounting reflects what is actually happening in the business, not just what is on paper
Evaluate and modernize the tools and systems the team relies on, with a focus on building a function that scales without adding unnecessary complexity
Bring technical accounting depth to the table when the business evolves, ensuring the company stays ahead of standard changes rather than scrambling to catch up

Must‑Have Skills

A career track that includes 15 or more years of progressive accounting leadership inside medium to large organizations, with a background that has included publicly traded company experience or the equivalent level of reporting discipline and board‑level accountability

The technical range to navigate complex multi‑standard environments with confidence, including consolidations across multiple legal entities, and the communication skills to make that complexity clear to people who are not accountants

A CPA credential (active or inactive) paired with a track record of owning audit outcomes, not just supporting them, across multiple entities and jurisdictions

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

Fluency with enterprise ERP systems at scale, particularly in environments where system limitations have required creative solutions rather than out‑of‑the‑box answers

Experience in industries where revenue recognition is genuinely complex, where the accounting team has to stay close to product and legal to get it right

A history of leading the finance function through a systems transition or a significant process overhaul, and coming out the other side with something that actually works better
