What are the responsibilities and job description for the Controller position at Synergy Search?
Controller | Baltimore, MD | Onsite
Compensation target: $140,000-$180,000 bonus
The Company
Our client is a large, well-established professional services organization with a multi-entity, international footprint. The finance team recently went live on a new enterprise ERP and is now working to stabilize and strengthen its core accounting operations.
The Role
Controller reporting into the accounting leadership team, managing one Accounting Manager who leads a team of four. The team is relatively new, so this is not a pure oversight role. The right person will get into the details, fix the balance sheet, stabilize intercompany processes after the system transition, and bring structure to a team that is still forming.
What You'll Own
- Full month-end close, delivered on time and without surprises
- Balance sheet integrity and reconciliation review
- Intercompany accounting, settlements, and eliminations across domestic and international entities
- Consolidated financial reporting
- External audit coordination
- Post-implementation cleanup and process design in the new ERP
- Developing and stabilizing the accounting team
Profile
- 7 to 10 years of accounting experience with true close ownership
- Strong intercompany and consolidation experience (required)
- Hands-on leader willing to do the work alongside the team
- Comfortable building structure where processes are still settling
- Traditional controllers, and Assistant Controllers from mid-size organizations ready to step into more scale and complexity, are both a fit
- Public accounting foundation a plus
- Multi-currency and Tier 1 ERP experience helpful, not required
