We are a privately owned, high‑transaction service business generating ~$5M in annual revenue. With weekly payroll, significant vendor volume, and recurring debt obligations, we urgently need a hands‑on financial leader to stabilize operations and build a finance department from the ground up.

We are seeking a Controller / Financial Operations Manager who thrives in a “Bob the Builder” environment—someone energized by creating order where there is chaos. You’ll take full ownership of daily accounting operations, enforce financial discipline, and inject financial intelligence into every department.

• Own Quick Books Elite & Online: daily transactions, reconciliations, chart of accounts clean‑up
• Manage AR/AP: enforce invoice‑based payments, collections, and vendor credibility
• Oversee payroll (ADP): reconcile, validate, and correct payroll variances
• Deliver weekly executive dashboards: P&L, cash flow, AR/AP aging, payroll vs revenue, debt exposure
• Build budgets for every department and lead the 2026 company‑wide budget process
• Identify cost savings, renegotiate vendor contracts, and enforce purchasing controls
• Teach department heads how to read budgets, control spend, and understand financial impact
• Ensure audit readiness and regulatory compliance

• 7–10+ years hands‑on accounting experience
• Expert in Quick Books Elite & Online
• Mastery of AR/AP, payroll reconciliation, and bank reconciliations
• Experience in $3M–$10M service‑based businesses
  
  Proven success in debt & cash‑flow constrained environments
• Strong leadership and department‑building skills

• Builder, not a decorator
• Thrives in high‑accountability, fast‑moving service businesses
• Comfortable creating systems from scratch
• Zero tolerance for sloppy invoicing, payroll errors, or vendor mistakes
• Not a fit if you’re payroll‑only, entry‑level, corporate “cushion” seeking, or require heavy oversight

• Stabilize AR/AP and bank reconciliations
• Restore vendor credibility
• Launch weekly dashboards and cash forecasts
• Implement expense governance
  
  Build framework for 2026 budget
