Position Summary:
We’re looking for a Controller who can do more than close the books—you’ll build, scale, and optimize a finance function that supports a high-growth, operationally complex business. This role sits at the intersection of accounting rigor and strategic partnership, bringing clarity to ambiguity and structure to scale.
You will oversee a team of 10 and support a $200M+ multi-entity business operating across 36 states.
If you enjoy cleaning things up and building what comes next, you’ll thrive here.

Requirements

• 8–12+ years of progressive accounting experience (mix of public accounting + industry strongly preferred)
• CPA required (non-negotiable—sorry, we checked)
• Experience in high-growth, multi-entity, or operationally complex environments
• Strong knowledge of GAAP, revenue recognition, and internal controls
• Proven track record of building or scaling accounting functions
• Systems-savvy (NetSuite or similar ERP experience preferred)
• Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on—this is not a “sit back and review” role

Responsibilities

• Lead all accounting operations including GL, AP/AR, payroll, and revenue recognition
• Oversee month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close with a focus on speed, accuracy, and scalability
• Ensure GAAP compliance and maintain strong internal controls
• Partner cross-functionally (Ops, FP&A, Product & Technology) to translate financial data into actionable insights
• Manage audits, tax filings, and external relationships (auditors, advisors, etc.)
• Build and mentor a high-performing accounting team as the company grows
• Continuously improve systems, processes, and reporting infrastructure (ERP optimization, automation, etc.)
• Support strategic initiatives including pricing models, unit economics, and potential M&A activity
