Controller

Company Overview

SuperTrees is a plant-based company based in Canby, Oregon, with operations in Utah and Colorado. Founded in 2005, we grow more than 300 varieties of trees using air-pruning container systems and serve landscapers, municipalities, garden centers, and retail customers throughout the Northwest and beyond.

In addition to our nursery operations, our teams in Oregon, Utah, and Colorado provide professional arborist and tree services to municipal and residential customers. We’re proud of the quality of our work, the people behind it, and the long-term relationships we build with our customers and communities.

Job Overview

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Controller to take ownership of the accounting function at SuperTrees. This is a role for someone who is comfortable working at both the Controller level and directly in the day-to-day accounting work. We need someone who can look at what we are doing today, identify where things can be improved, and help us build stronger processes and systems as we continue to grow.

There are two things that are especially important to us in this search and are required for this position:

• Deep, hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central , including at least 3 years working directly in the system at an advanced level
• A current CPA or CMA designation

Business Central is a particularly important part of this role. We have some unique inventory and costing needs, and we are looking for someone who already knows the system well enough to help us configure, improve, and get more out of it rather than someone who would need to learn it after joining us.

A cover letter is required with your application. Please tell us a little about your experience working directly in Business Central, including how long you have used it and the areas of the system you have personally worked with or managed.

Candidates must meet both the Business Central experience requirement and hold a CPA or CMA designation to be considered for this position.

Position Summary

This is a hands-on, player-coach role for an experienced, tech-fluent accounting professional who thrives on both operational execution and financial oversight. Because we do not have an intermediate accounting manager, the Controller will own both higher-level responsibilities, including cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, and tax compliance, and the daily execution of our accounting workflows, including closing the month, maintaining and cleaning up ledgers, reconciling accounts, and managing accounting systems.

A firm requirement for this role is deep proficiency with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The Controller will own, configure, and optimize Business Central to support the unique accounting needs of our business, including multi-year nursery inventory and fast-moving field service project costing.

This role requires someone who is comfortable moving between the big picture and the details: identifying accounting and system issues, developing solutions, supporting accounting staff, and personally stepping into the work when needed to ensure it is completed accurately and on time.

Key Responsibilities

• ERP Optimization: Own, configure, and maximize Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central across accounting, agricultural inventory management, and project/job tracking.
• General Ledger & Daily Accounting: Work directly in the day-to-day accounting function, including general ledger activity, journal entries, account reconciliations, payroll allocations, accounts receivable aging and collections, accounts payable, and other core accounting workflows.
• Month-End Close & Financial Reporting: Own and execute an accurate and timely monthly close process, including reconciliations, adjusting entries, account review, and preparation of GAAP-compliant financial statements for executive review.
• Cost Accounting & Asset Tracking: Develop and maintain system workflows to accurately track multi-year work-in-progress (WIP) valuation for growing nursery inventory alongside real-time project and job costing for field service operations.
• Tax & Regulatory Compliance: Manage applicable tax filings and accounting compliance requirements, including the Oregon Corporate Activity Tax (CAT), local payroll taxes, and other state, local, and agricultural requirements.
• Cash Flow & Forecasting: Develop and maintain rolling cash-flow forecasts to optimize working capital allocations and support operational needs and continued business growth.
• Accounting Processes & Controls: Evaluate existing accounting practices, identify gaps or inefficiencies, and implement practical processes and internal controls that improve accuracy, consistency, and accountability.
• Office Staff Leadership: Provide leadership, direction, and support to office staff while remaining actively involved in the accounting function. Establish clear expectations, support accountability and follow-through, help remove roadblocks, and ensure priorities and responsibilities are completed accurately and on time.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or CMA credential required.
• Software Fluency: Minimum 3+ years of direct, advanced administration or heavy operational experience inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• Experience Tiers: 7-10+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 2-4 years operating in a hands-on manager, assistant controller, or controller capacity.
• Industry Crossover : Proven exposure to inventory-heavy businesses (agriculture, nurseries, manufacturing) AND project-based operations (construction, field services, contracting).
• Mindset: Extreme ownership attitude. Excitement to run transactional clean-up while building institutional systems.

Compensation Structure

• Potential performance bonus of up to 10%
• 3 weeks paid vacation and 6 paid holidays a year
• Up to 4% match of annual salary on retirement plan
• Health Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• Health Spending Account
• Potential profit share for full time staff
• Educational expenses and certification reimbursement
