Controller; Confidential

About The Company

Our client is an established, privately held and entrepreneurial organization entering an important stage of growth.

The Controller will be a trusted financial partner to ownership and the leadership team, providing visibility into profitability, margins, working capital, cash flow, operational performance and growth opportunities. Initially, the role will be hands‑on: validating financial information, improving processes and building the reporting tools, controls and capabilities required to support a more scalable organization. A central priority will be transforming financial and operational data into meaningful management information so leadership can better understand:
Which customers, services and revenue streams are most profitable, and where margins are being gained or lost;
How pricing, growth, cash flow, working capital and resource needs are affecting performance;
Where operational inefficiencies, billing delays, unrecorded costs or process gaps are reducing profitability; and How management can make better pricing, investment, hiring, expansion and improvement decisions.

• Lead timely, accurate monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting, including close, reconciliation and supporting schedules.
• Develop management reporting, dashboards and analysis that highlight performance, risks, opportunities and recommended actions.
• Translate variances, trends and operational results into clear financial insight for leadership.

• Lead budgeting and rolling forecasting in partnership with ownership and operational leaders.
• Convert operational activity, customer trends and growth plans into practical financial forecasts and recommendations.

• Strengthen accounts receivable, billing, collections and accounts payable processes.
• Support banking, financing and covenant reporting while improving cash conversion and working‑capital efficiency.

• Oversee the full accounting cycle, including AR, AP, billing, collections, payroll coordination, general ledger and reporting.
• Improve accounting processes, roles, approvals, performance standards and information flow across sales, operations, billing and accounting.
• Ensure transactions, estimates and significant accounting items are recorded accurately, consistently and in the correct period.

• Design and maintain practical internal controls appropriate for a growing entrepreneurial business.
• Establish approval authorities, segregation of duties, documentation standards and controls over payments, banking, vendor changes, system access and key transactions.
• Identify and mitigate financial, reporting, fraud and process risks.

• Coordinate year‑end reporting, working papers and external review requirements.
• Manage tax, payroll and statutory reporting obligations accurately and on time.
• Support banking, financing, insurance, legal, tax and due‑diligence requests with timely, organized information.

• Serve as a trusted financial advisor to ownership on strategy, growth, pricing, staffing, systems and capital allocation.
• Partner with sales and operations to assess profitability, pricing, contracts, efficiency, cost control and margin performance.
