What are the responsibilities and job description for the Financial Controller position at Landing Point Capital Partners?
FINANCIAL CONTROLLER, RESIDENTIAL ROOFING PLATFORM
ABOUT LANDING POINT CAPITAL PARTNERS
Landing Point Capital Partners is a permanent capital vehicle focused on acquiring and operating leading essential service and product businesses. We partner with founders and owners to accelerate growth and compound capital over the long term. Our team brings deep experience as both operators and investors.
ABOUT THE PLATFORM
We are building a multi-region residential roofing platform through the acquisition of founder-led, market-leading operators. Each acquired business retains its brand, leadership, and customer relationships while benefiting from a shared TopCo finance, technology, and operating infrastructure. The platform is in its early innings. The Financial Controller will be a foundational hire and a primary architect of how the platform reports, audits, and integrates.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Financial Controller is the senior-most finance leader at the TopCo, reporting directly to the LPCP Managing Partners. The Controller will build the accounting and reporting infrastructure for the platform, integrate the financials of acquired companies, and stand up audit-grade reporting from day one. As the platform scales, the Controller will partner with a future CFO and lead a growing platform finance team.
This is an operator role, not a back-office one. We are looking for someone who has built finance functions inside multi-entity, PE-backed home services businesses, who has lived through the transition from cash basis to accrual, and who can sit comfortably across the table from auditors, lenders, and add-on sellers.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Accounting and Consolidation
- Own the consolidated monthly close across all platform entities, including intercompany eliminations, purchase accounting entries, and TopCo-level adjustments.
- Standardize the chart of accounts, accounting policies, and close calendar across all portfolio companies.
- Convert acquired company financials from cash basis to GAAP accrual, including revenue recognition, work-in-process, accrued payroll and bonuses, and prepaid balances.
- Implement and own a multi-entity consolidation tool layered on top of QuickBooks-based operating companies, with a defined path to a single ERP over time.
M&A Integration and Add-On Onboarding
- Lead the financial integration of every add-on acquisition, including opening balance sheet, ASC 805 purchase accounting, working capital true-up, and post-close conversion to platform standards.
- Work with diligence advisors on QoE workpapers, reconcile reported financials to QoE-adjusted EBITDA, and resolve recurring diligence findings.
- Build and maintain a repeatable 100-day finance integration playbook covering systems, controls, payroll, banking, sales tax, and reporting.
Audit and Technical Accounting
- Manage the platform's annual external audit across multiple legal entities, including scoping, PBC list, technical memos, opening balance sheets, and final delivery.
- Apply ASC 606 to residential roofing revenue, including percentage-of-completion methodology, insurance versus retail jobs, supplements, ACV/RCV mechanics, deferred revenue, and customer deposits, with documentation that satisfies external audit standards.
- Apply ASC 842 to fleet, warehouse, and equipment leases.
- Author technical accounting memos for non-routine transactions including acquisitions, debt, equity, contingencies, and warranty obligations.
Reporting, Lender, and Investor Relations
- Produce a monthly consolidated reporting package for the board, LPCP, and lenders, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, KPIs, and variance commentary.
- Own lender covenant compliance, borrowing base calculations, and quarterly compliance certificates.
- Partner with PortCo operators on annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, 13-week cash flow, and operational KPI reporting (revenue per crew, job-level gross margin, AR aging, backlog, sales productivity).
Treasury, Tax, and Controls
- Manage cash across operating, lockbox, and intercompany accounts, including sweeps, intercompany funding, and capital calls.
- Own multi-state sales and use tax compliance, contractor licensing-related filings, 1099 reporting, and federal and state income tax filings, in coordination with external tax advisors.
- Establish, document, and enforce the internal control environment appropriate for a private, audited, PE-owned platform.
Systems
- Lead the selection and rollout of a long-term ERP and integrate it with field operations software (JobNimbus, Roofr or comparable) and AP automation tooling.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
- 8 years of progressive accounting and finance experience, with at least 3 years as a Controller or Assistant Controller in a multi-entity environment.
- CPA required. Public accounting background preferred, with hands-on external audit exposure.
- Direct experience as a finance leader in a PE-backed business, including the rhythm of board reporting, lender reporting, and add-on integration.
- Demonstrated ownership of a multi-entity external audit, including first-year audits of newly acquired entities.
- Hands-on experience integrating M&A add-on targets, including converting financials from cash basis to accrual and producing audit-ready opening balance sheets.
- Practical, audit-tested experience applying percentage-of-completion (or comparable long-term contract) revenue recognition under ASC 606.
- Home services industry experience required (residential roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration, exteriors, or comparable trades). Residential roofing or storm-restoration experience strongly preferred.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- Roll-up or platform-build experience: integrating five or more acquisitions onto a single financial reporting backbone.
- Hands-on rollout of a multi-entity ERP (Sage Intacct or NetSuite) and a consolidation tool, ideally migrating off QuickBooks.
- Experience supporting QoE processes from the target side and resolving recurring diligence findings.
- Familiarity with the data flow from job-level operations into the GL through industry software (JobNimbus, Roofr).
- Experience administering committed debt facilities (revolver, term loan, delayed draw term loan) and the associated lender reporting in a roll-up context.
- Familiarity with multi-state contractor licensing, surety bonding, and insurance-claim-driven revenue economics.
PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES
- Operator mindset. Comfortable being the most senior finance person in the room and equally comfortable rolling up sleeves on a reconciliation.
- Low ego, high ownership. We are building something. Title and turf are less important than outcomes.
- Direct communicator. You can explain a technical accounting position to a Managing Partner and to a regional General Manager with equal clarity.
- High integrity. You will be the steward of the platform books and the trust placed in them by investors, lenders, and auditors.
- Pace and pragmatism. You can hold an audit-grade standard while making practical decisions inside an integration where data is imperfect.
LOCATION AND TRAVEL
Remote, US-based. Material travel during integration phases, estimated 25 to 40 percent, to portfolio company sites and future add-on targets. Quarterly travel for board meetings and LPCP off-sites.
COMPENSATION
Competitive base salary, performance-based annual bonus, and meaningful equity participation in the platform. Benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
