Controller (Mon - Fri 8:30AM - 5:00PM)

RK Logistics Group, Inc•Hillsborough, NC

11h•$100,000 - $130,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Controller to take full ownership of the accounting function across GLOBALRx, Legere Pharmaceuticals, Brainchild, and affiliated brands. Reporting directly to the CCO and Chief of Staff, this is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the complete accounting cycle — from AP and AR through payroll, GL, reconciliations, month-end/year-end close, and financial reporting. This is not a siloed position; the right candidate has done it all and can manage the entire function independently. A significant portion of Legere's day-to-day accounting currently sits with senior leadership and must transition fully to this hire. The ideal Controller is highly organized, process-driven, and ready to build and own the accounting infrastructure for a growing pharmaceutical company family.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
8–10+ years of progressive accounting experience
Full cycle accounting experience — end-to-end ownership of AP, AR, payroll, general ledger, reconciliations, month-end/year-end close, and financial reporting; candidates with experience limited to a single function will not be considered
Multi-entity accounting experience — must have managed books across at least two legal entities simultaneously
2+ years of direct QuickBooks experience (required)
2+ years in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or equivalent senior leadership role
Prior experience in a standalone or owner-operator environment where you were the primary accountant is strongly valued
Demonstrated expertise in GAAP accounting and multi-entity financial reporting
Experience managing and developing at least one direct report
Proven track record building or improving accounting SOPs and internal controls
Experience integrating accounting software with an ERP system
Advanced Excel skills: pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, macros, and data slicing

Nice To Haves

Experience with Odoo or a comparable ERP platform
Background in pharmaceutical, healthcare, or regulated industry accounting
Familiarity with AI tools applied to accounting workflows (e.g., automated reconciliation, AI-assisted financial reporting, or data analytics tools)
