Finance and Accounting Manager (Controller Track)
About The Position
Coalmarch is looking for a rising finance professional who’s ready to take the next step—someone who can combine accounting precision with strategic curiosity. You’ll own the numbers that keep the business grounded today while helping shape the insights that drive where we go next. If you’ve ever wanted to help build the financial engine of a company that’s stable and scrappy, this is your moment. You’ll own our accounting infrastructure, establish the processes and discipline that drive confidence, and evolve into a finance partner who influences decisions, strategy, and valuation. This is a hands-on role today, with a direct path toward VP Finance responsibilities as we grow.

- Hands-on familiarity with accounting systems and close processes—you know what “clean books” really means
