• Coordinate with outside CPAs, tax professionals, banks, vendors, and other business partners as needed
• Assist ownership with financial analysis, reporting, and special projects
• Delegate responsibilities while remaining willing to work directly in the accounting details
• Maintain accurate documentation and ensure timely completion of financial deadlines
• Support additional operational or administrative functions as needed in a lean organization

Qualifications/Requirements:

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Controller, Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or similar experience
• Strong understanding of GAAP and full-cycle accounting
• Experience managing month-end close, reconciliations, financial statements, and general ledger functions
• Experience with multi-entity or multi-location accounting strongly preferred

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Ability to prioritize multiple deadlines and responsibilities
• Comfortable working directly with company ownership
• Hands-on leadership style with the ability to both manage and execute

The Right Fit

We're looking for someone who sees the bigger financial picture but isn't afraid to dig into the details. This position will be best suited for a Controller who is independent, resourceful, accountable, and comfortable taking ownership of the accounting function.
