Interim Controller

Hoxton Circle • Tempe, AZ

6d • Onsite

About The Position

We're hiring on a contract basis for an immediate, few-months engagement for a dynamic and hands on Controllership professional who can step in and own the accounting function from day one. This Interim Controller is hands-on end-to-end work: month-end close, payroll accounting, financial statement and reporting preparation, and the day-to-day discipline that keeps the numbers clean and on time. You'll work directly with the C-suite, so this suits someone who's comfortable operating close to leadership and can be trusted to run the function without hand-holding. It's a PE-backed business in a build phase, so the environment moves quickly and the reporting needs to be right the first time!

Requirements

• ERP implementation and automation experience
• Experience with SAP Business One is ideal
• ADP or similar sized platform experience for payroll accounting is ideal
• Track record of building and managing a finance and accounting team, not just being part of one
• Background in a labor-intensive, project-based industry
• CPA
• Able to be onsite 3 to 5 days a week

Nice To Haves

• Energy or mining experience, though open to other project-based industries given the labor-intensive nature of the business
• Public and private accounting, ideally including Big 4 or top 10 audit or advisory

Responsibilities

• Lead the accounting function and build out the finance and accounting team as the company scales
• Own ERP implementation and drive automation across finance processes
• Lead the accounting and finance side of global acquisition integrations
• Establish internal controls, financial policies, and reporting discipline ahead of first commercial operations
• Own GAAP-compliant financial statements and external audit relationships
• Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting, and planning
