Help Us Turn Good Financial Information Into Better Business Decisions

America’s Kids In Motion is looking for an experienced Fractional Controller to provide financial oversight, reporting, forecasting, controls, and analysis for our established, multi-program organization.

AKIM is a growing Clovis-based company, serving thousands of children and families through Aquatics, Gymnastics, Dance, NinjaZone, Music, Preschool, CampKids, GymUTots, and other youth programs.

We already have established accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll support.

We are not looking for another bookkeeper.

We are looking for an experienced financial professional who can make sure our numbers are accurate, help us understand what those numbers are telling us, and give ownership and our Leadership Team accurate financial visibility as we plan for the future.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Financial Accuracy & Monthly Close

You'll oversee our monthly close process and ensure our financial statements are timely, accurate, organized, and reliable.

When something doesn't look right, we want someone who notices it, investigates it, and gets it corrected.

Financial Reporting & Analysis

You'll help us understand more than what we spent and what we earned.

We want meaningful insight into:

• Revenue and expense trends
• Labor and payroll performance
• Budget variances
• Program and business-area performance
• Margins and profitability
• Financial KPIs
• Areas of financial concern and opportunity

We want financial information that helps leadership understand what happened, why it happened, and what we should pay attention to next.

Budgeting, Forecasting & Cash Flow

You'll lead our annual budgeting process, maintain useful forecasts, provide cash-flow visibility, and help us look forward rather than only backward.

You'll also help evaluate the financial impact of significant staffing decisions, investments, new programs, and growth opportunities.

Financial Controls & Processes

You'll evaluate and strengthen our accounting processes and internal controls.

We want financial systems that protect the company, reduce errors, create accountability, and support growth—without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Financial Leadership

You'll work directly with the Owner/Visionary, Integrator, Leadership Team, and our existing financial support team.

You'll help our leaders understand their numbers and provide an objective financial perspective when important decisions are being made.

We value someone who is willing to say:

“Here's what the numbers are telling us.”

Even when the answer isn't necessarily what we hoped to hear.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This could be an excellent fit for an experienced Controller who wants meaningful, senior-level financial work without a traditional full-time schedule.

You may be:

• An experienced Controller looking for a fractional role.
• A former Controller or Finance Director who no longer wants a full-time executive schedule.
• A financial professional who works with several fractional clients.
• A semi-retired Controller who still enjoys helping businesses make smart financial decisions.

You should have strong experience with:

• Monthly close and financial statement review
• Accounting and financial controls
• Budgeting and forecasting
• Cash-flow management
• Financial reporting and analysis
• Payroll and labor-cost analysis
• Identifying financial risks and irregularities
• Working with bookkeepers, payroll professionals, and outside CPAs
• Communicating financial information to non-financial leaders

Experience with a multi-location, multi-department, service, education, recreation, or similarly complex organization would be especially valuable.

A CPA or accounting degree is valuable, but we place significant importance on Controller-level experience, sound financial judgment, and the ability to turn numbers into useful information.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

This is not a full-time accounting position.

It is not primarily a bookkeeping position.

Our existing team handles established transactional bookkeeping and payroll responsibilities.

We need someone who can operate above the transactions—reviewing, analyzing, forecasting, questioning, improving, and helping leadership see the bigger financial picture.
