Interim Controller

CFS
Trumbull, CT Full Time
POSTED ON 10/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/25/2026
Interim CONTROLLER

We’re working with an established, growing organization that is looking for a hands-on Controller to take ownership of its accounting function.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being in the weeds while also having responsibility for the bigger picture.

Why This One Stands Out

  • Growing organization with a need for a strong accounting leader
  • High-visibility role partnering directly with leadership
  • Opportunity to take ownership of the accounting function and improve processes
  • $45-50/hour
  • Fully on-site in Trumbull, CT

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own the month-end close process, including journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Manage the GL and maintain accurate accounting records
  • Stay hands-on with AP and oversee payroll processing
  • Prepare financial reports and support leadership with accounting needs
  • Manage audit support, pension reporting, workers’ compensation, and other compliance requirements
  • Identify process improvements and ensure deadlines and accounting responsibilities stay on track

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong hands-on accounting background with AP, GL, payroll, and month-end close experience
  • QuickBooks Online required
  • Strong Excel skills, including Pivot Tables
  • Someone who can independently manage the accounting function and take ownership
  • Paycor, pension, and audit experience are pluses

We’re moving quickly and looking to connect with Controller-level candidates ASAP!
