Fractional Controller (Contract, Remote) – Finance as a Service (FaaS)
About The Position
Rose Financial Solutions (ROSE) is building a collective of experienced controllers who want to develop into broader advisory and CFO-level work. This contractor role serves as the financial backbone for a portfolio of growing organizations, typically ranging from $2 million to more than $50 million. Controllers gain experience across multiple client environments, work within ROSE’s Finance as a Service (FaaS) model and Easby platform, and receive mentorship from senior CFO-level leaders. The role combines monthly close ownership, financial reporting, internal controls, compliance support, client collaboration, and process improvement. Client work may include government contractors, nonprofits, and growth companies. The position is designed to develop financial infrastructure that scales with clients and to provide a pathway toward fractional CFO engagements for those ready to take on that responsibility.

- Use Easby to manage transactions, approvals, reconciliations, and reporting workflows.
- Collaborate with ROSE CFO Members and Controllers to deliver integrated financial management.
- Support nonprofit clients with grant tracking, membership revenue, and donation accounting, ensuring funds are properly restricted, recognized, and reported.
