Sr. Controller - General Ledger Shared Services

My Financial Partner delivers high quality, fast-paced fractional Controller, AP, and GL services to 70+ network companies across the Teamshares portfolio. We're a wholly owned subsidiary of Teamshares, Inc. — a publicly traded company built to keep great small businesses thriving, one acquisition at a time.

The Senior Controller, GL Shared Services owns the record-to-report (R2R) process for the approximately 100 Network Companies supported by MFP, a number that grows with each acquisition. This is a hands‑on operational execution and leadership role: working collaboratively with MFP’s Industry Controllers, you will run the monthly, quarterly and year‑end close, for the GL task responsibilities, own the training and standards used to perform the functions, and build a scalable, SOX‑ready shared services team for GL as MFP grows through acquisition.

You will lead a blended onshore and Colombia‑based offshore team, growing to 10‑15 people by 2027, integrate newly acquired companies onto standard processes and systems, and partner with Network Company Controllers, FP&A, Tax and the Chief Accounting Officer. Success means a faster, more accurate, well‑controlled close that can absorb new companies without a matching increase in headcount.
