Controller

ServiceMaster by McCann • Defiance, OH

4d • Onsite

About The Position

We're on the hunt for a Controller who's equal parts numbers ninja and hands-on hustler. You'll steer our financial ship with precision, deliver insights that fuel smart decisions, and help us scale profitably—all while embracing our
Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) basics (think Scorecards, Rocks, and IDS meetings without the jargon overload). Bonus: a serious work ethic is non-negotiable. In our world, "peak season" can mean post-tornado chaos, and the right person rolls up sleeves without complaint. (We promise the coffee is strong and the team is stronger.)
This role reports directly to Brandon McCann, President/Owner—a hands-on leader who values integrity, growth, and getting stuff done. You'll partner closely with him and operations to turn financial data into actionable wins. Note: This is not a remote position. We thrive on in-person collaboration at our Defiance headquarters—from morning huddles to storm-season strategy sessions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s/Associates in accounting, Finance, or similar (CPA/CMA? You're basically a unicorn—welcome). We value experience and work ethic over formal degrees so if you think you’re a good fit, give it a try.
• 5+ years in progressive financial leadership, ideally in service/project-based businesses (restoration, construction, or cleaning experience = major bonus points).
• Basic working knowledge of EOS (you get the big ideas: traction tools, meeting rhythms, accountability without the eye rolls).
• Must love hard work—comfortable diving into details during crunch times, storm-season overtime, or whenever the business needs you (no clock-watchers need apply).
• Excel wizardry, solid accounting software chops (QuickBooks, Sage, etc.), and the ability to turn data into stories leadership actually wants to hear.
• Unwavering integrity, faith-aligned values, and a genuine passion for team growth and profitable client wins.
• Strong communicator who can explain complex finances without putting people to sleep.

Responsibilities

• Own the full accounting suite: GL, AP/AR, payroll, budgeting, forecasting, and month-end close faster than a restoration crew dries a basement.
• Drive cash flow mastery, banking smarts, tax compliance, audits, and insurance-claim financial tracking (because claims paperwork never sleeps).
• Produce crisp financial statements, variance reports, KPIs, and EOS-friendly dashboards that make all Level 10 Meetings productive (and occasionally entertaining).
• Manage our Centralized Ops Team—the internal support squad that keeps our production heroes humming by handling facilities maintenance, asset management, resource allocation, and all the behind-the-scenes needs so our field teams can focus on crushing it for clients (think: making sure trucks are fueled, tools are stocked, and warehouses are ready for action—no small feat in a multilocation operation!).
• Mentor and develop the finance team (and support Centralized Ops growth)—living our "help our team develop" value like it's your personal mission.
• Team up with ops on job costing, project profitability, cost controls, and growth plays that keep us expanding smartly.
• Champion GAAP compliance, strong controls, and ethical practices that align with honoring God in every decision.
• Bring proactive ideas to strategic planning, helping us grow profitably while building those rock-solid client relationships.
