About the role

Eclipsyum is a U.S. holding company with operating businesses in insulation and roofing, freight, and additional subsidiaries. We are engaging a Financial Controller to own the accounting function across every entity in the group.

This is a fully remote, long-term contractor engagement for a candidate based outside the United States. You will work directly with ownership and lead a accounting team. We are not looking for part-time or project help — this is a full-time seat with real authority over how the finance function is built.

What you'll own

• Full-cycle accounting for all entities: general ledger, AR, AP, payroll accounting, month-end and year-end close
• Consolidated financial statements across entities, including intercompany transactions and eliminations
• A committed close calendar — accurate financials delivered to ownership by the same date every month
• Cash flow reporting and forecasting: weekly cash position and funding needs by entity
• Annual budgets and rolling forecasts by entity and department, with variance analysis you can explain
• Job costing and WIP reporting for the construction and home services entities; margin by job, crew, and product line
• Payroll accounting and reconciliation, coordinating with the U.S.-based HR team on payroll runs, workers' comp, and insurance audits
• Preparing schedules and workpapers for our outside U.S. CPA firm, who handles tax filings and returns
• Internal controls, approval workflows, and written SOPs for every recurring accounting process
• Ownership of the accounting stack — chart of accounts, entity structure, integrations — including cleanup or migration where it's needed
• Weekly KPI and financial reporting for the leadership meeting
• Managing, training, and holding accountable a small remote accounting team (AR, AP, and support staff)

What this role does not include: bank signatory authority, releasing payments, or signing tax filings. Those stay with U.S.-based ownership. You prepare, reconcile, and recommend; ownership approves and executes.

What we're looking for

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Accounting Manager
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Demonstrated experience closing books for U.S.-based companies under U.S. GAAP — this is a hard requirement, not a preference
• Hands-on multi-entity experience: consolidations, intercompany activity, separate sets of books under one ownership group
• Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks (Online and/or Desktop), NetSuite, or a comparable ERP
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets
• A track record of building process — SOPs, controls, and reporting that did not exist before you arrived
• Fluent written and spoken English; able to present numbers clearly to operators who don't work in finance
• Reliable high-speed internet, a backup connection or power plan, and a private workspace suitable for handling confidential financial data
• Willingness to sign an NDA and work within our security requirements (company-managed accounts, MFA, no shared credentials, no storing company data on personal drives)

Preferred

• CPA, CA, CMA, or local equivalent
• Prior long-term engagement with a U.S. construction, roofing, home services, logistics, or field services company
• Job costing, WIP, and percentage-of-completion reporting
• U.S. multi-state payroll exposure (ADP, Gusto, Paylocity, or similar)
• ERP or accounting system implementation, migration, or cleanup
• Experience managing other remote accounting staff
• Bilingual English/Spanish

Your first 90 days

• Days 1–30: Learn the entity structure and the current state of the books. Take over the close for the operating entities.
• Days 31–60: Deliver a consolidated financial package to ownership on a fixed monthly date. Document the close process end to end.
• Days 61–90: Present a prioritized plan to fix what's broken — controls, chart of accounts, job costing, or reporting — and begin executing it.

Contract terms

• Independent contractor engagement. You are responsible for your own taxes, registrations, and any statutory contributions in your country of residence.
• Non-U.S. candidates will complete IRS Form W-8BEN (individuals) or W-8BEN-E (if contracting through your own company) before the first payment.
• We are looking for someone who stays for years, not months.
