Ready to make your mark in a fast-growing restaurant franchise? Port of Subs is searching for a strategic, hands-on Controller who thrives on challenge, collaboration, and being part of something bigger.

This isn't just another finance role - it's your chance to be a key player in an iconic brand's next chapter of growth. Backed by Area 15 Ventures and nearly 50 years of proven success, we're scaling fast and need a financial leader who can keep pace.

What You'll Do

As Controller, you'll be the financial backbone of our operations, driving strategy and execution across multiple units. Your impact will be felt daily as you:

• Lead all accounting operations - GL, AP/AR, payroll, and month-end close
• Deliver accurate, actionable financial statements that inform critical business decisions
• Partner with leadership to shape budgets, forecasts, and growth strategies
• Build and strengthen internal controls that scale with our expansion
• Guide financial planning for new store openings and strategic investments
• Manage cash flow, working capital, and key vendor relationships
• Implement systems and processes that support rapid growth
• Coordinate audits and ensure flawless tax compliance
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations and HR to optimize labor costs and business planning

Who You Are

You're a finance pro with restaurant DNA. You've seen the chaos of multi-unit operations and know how to bring order, insight, and strategic thinking to the table.

Must-haves:

• Exceptional communication skills - can translate numbers into narratives
• Track record of thriving in high-growth, fast-paced environments
• Positive energy and relationship-building skills with franchisees, vendors, and team members
• Collaborative spirit and willingness to dive into special projects

PLEASE NOTE: You must reside in Reno, NV (or close proximity) AND you must have experience within the restaurant, hospitality, or multi-unit retail to be considered.

What We Offer

This is more than a job - it's a career-defining opportunity. You'll report directly to the CFO and work alongside top-tier executive leadership in an environment where your voice matters and your contributions drive real results.

The perks:

• Competitive salary: $95K–$115K based on experience

• 401(k) with company match
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Long-term growth potential in a company backed for expansion

Why Port of Subs?

For nearly 50 years, we've been slicing fresh, serving quality, and building community connections. Our menu is legendary - from signature subs piled high with premium meats and cheeses to fresh salads, hot sandwiches, breakfast favorites, and more. But what really sets us apart is our commitment to the neighborhoods we serve. In 2023, we partnered with Area 15 Ventures, led by Dave Liniger (co-founder and former CEO of RE/MAX), to accelerate our growth trajectory. With strong financials, a proven franchise model, and ambitious expansion plans, we're poised for our biggest chapter yet.

This is where you come in! We need a Controller who can help us scale smartly, make data-driven decisions, and build financial infrastructure that supports sustainable growth.
