Controller

Direct Hire | Full Time


Build the Financial Backbone. Shape the Next Stage of Growth.

This role is perfect for a hands-on financial leader who knows how to bring clarity, discipline, and structure to a growing organization. If you enjoy fixing what’s unclear, formalizing what’s informal, and building the financial engine that enables scale, this is your role.


The Opportunity

As Controller, you’ll own the core financial operations and administrative infrastructure of the business. You’ll serve as a critical partner to senior leadership, ensuring the company has the systems, controls, and governance needed for smart decision-making and sustainable expansion.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead financial operations, including accounting, reporting, controls, and audit readiness.
  • Oversee contracts, insurance programs, risk management, and compliance frameworks.
  • Upgrade and standardize processes, policies, and financial systems to support scalability.
  • Develop, coach, and support the Director of Accounting and the broader finance/admin team.
  • Build strong cross-functional alignment between Finance, Operations, and Leadership.
  • Drive initiatives in vendor management, budget discipline, governance, and process optimization.


Qualifications

  • 5 years of progressive financial operations or accounting leadership experience.
  • Strong experience with contracts, insurance, compliance, and risk management.
  • Demonstrated success building or modernizing systems, controls, and processes in a growing company.
  • Leadership style that is hands-on, accountable, collaborative, and strong in mentorship.
  • CPA preferred but not required


Why This Role

This isn’t a corporate “back office” function. This is a highly visible, high-impact opportunity to:

  • Professionalize and modernize the financial foundation.
  • Influence strategic decision-making and long-term planning.
  • Create lasting processes as the company scales.


If you’re a builder who thrives in environments where you can create clarity, upgrade processes, and enable growth, you’ll excel here.
