What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounting Controller position at ROBINSON ENTERPRISES INC?
Company Description
Robinson Enterprises, Inc is a family-owned and operated distribution company with deep roots and a growth mindset. As we continue to scale, we're building the internal infrastructure to match — and that starts with bringing on our first dedicated Controller. This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone who thrives on building systems, not just maintaining them.
Role Description
We are seeking an experienced hands-on Accounting Controller, not a supervisory-only seat. You'll own the full accounting cycle end-to-end and play a critical role in standardizing processes, strengthening financial controls, and ensuring our team uses our ERP system correctly and consistently.
- Full-cycle accounting: AR, AP, purchasing (PO), sales orders (SO), inventory management, GL, cash management, and financial reporting.
- Design and implementation of scalable accounting processes and procedures.
- Month-end and year-end close, financial statement preparation, and management reporting.
- Direct supervision and development of accounting and administrative staff.
- ERP system integrity — ensuring proper use across departments and training personnel where needed.
Qualifications
- Strong working knowledge of GAAP and its practical application in a distribution or product-based environment.
- Proven experience as a hands-on Controller or Senior Accountant ready to step into the role.
- Background in operational accounting — you understand how transactions flow from purchase order to financial statement.
- Experience with Sage Intacct preferred; comparable ERP experience considered
- A builder's mentality — you're energized by creating structures where little exists, not frustrated by it.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate accounting requirements to non-accounting staff.
