Director of Finance and Administration

Controller

Location: Wilmington, MA | Onsite

Salary: $110,000–$130,000 Base

KBW Financial Staffing & Recruiting has partnered with an established, growing organization in the field services industry in its search for a Controller.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on accounting leader who enjoys working in a smaller company environment and wants broad ownership of the accounting and finance function. Reporting directly to executive leadership, the Controller will oversee day-to-day accounting, financial reporting, cash flow, budgeting, and financial operations while managing a small team.

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable operating as both a leader and a doer — able to oversee the big picture while remaining close to the day-to-day accounting needs of the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full-cycle accounting function, including AP, AR, invoicing, general ledger, journal entries, reconciliations, month-end close, and financial statement preparation.
• Lead the monthly and year-end close process, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.
• Manage cash flow, banking activity, budgeting, forecasting, and expense management, providing leadership with clear visibility into company performance.
• Oversee high-volume customer invoicing and collections, ensuring billing accuracy and timely cash conversion.
• Manage and develop a small accounting/administrative team, providing coaching, oversight, and day-to-day support.
• Partner with external accounting and tax providers on annual filings, tax matters, and other reporting requirements.
• Maintain and improve accounting processes, internal controls, systems, and SOPs as the organization continues to grow.
• Oversee corporate insurance administration, including company policies and subcontractor/vendor certificates of insurance.
• Partner directly with ownership and executive leadership on financial and operational initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, communication, and financial processes across the organization.
• Remain hands-on with day-to-day accounting and be willing to step in wherever needed within a small-company environment.
  
  

Qualifications

• 5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including prior Controller, Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, or similar leadership experience.
• Strong preference for experience within a small or mid-sized company where accounting leaders maintain hands-on responsibility for the financials.
• Strong knowledge of general ledger accounting, AP, AR, month-end close, reconciliations, financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management.
• Prior experience managing and developing a small team.
• QuickBooks Online and Bill.com experience required.
• Experience within HVAC, construction, trades, field services, manufacturing, or another operations-heavy environment strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) and ServiceTrade is a plus.
