We’re partnering with a fast-growing, asset-based logistics organization operating a large national fleet to identify a Manager / Senior Accounting professional (Controller) to join their finance leadership team.


This is a high-impact, hands-on role reporting directly to the CFO, with broad ownership across accounting operations and strong exposure to fleet, fuel, and asset-heavy financial management in a rapidly scaling business.


Key responsibilities include:

  • Oversee core accounting functions (GL, AP, AR, payroll, financial reporting)
  • Manage full lifecycle fleet and fixed asset accounting (acquisition, depreciation, disposal)
  • Track and analyze operational costs, a key business driver
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis with leadership
  • Drive process improvements and build scalable SOPs and reporting structure
  • Partner with IT and operations on systems and process integrations
  • Support compliance across legal, HR, insurance, and external partners
  • Act as a key liaison with external accounting and advisory teams


What we’re looking for:

  • Strong accounting background with controllership or senior-level experience
  • Experience in trucking, logistics industries strongly preferred
  • Hands-on experience with fixed assets, fleet, or cost-heavy operations (fuel, equipment, etc.)
  • Ability to operate in both strategic and execution-focused environments
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort working in a fast-paced, growing company


This is a great opportunity to join a company in a strong expansion phase where you’ll have direct visibility to leadership and real ownership over key financial and operational drivers.
