3h•$78,000 - $82,000•Onsite

About The Position

Group One is a privately held family of businesses providing manpower, facility, security, parking and vending services to airports, airlines and commercial customers. We run a dozen entities from Union, New Jersey, on a modern cloud ERP. We are rebuilding our finance team around Claude and AI-assisted workflows as the normal way of working, not an experiment on the side. This is a career path, and we're saying so up front. Our CFO is currently acting as Controller and is hiring this role to develop a successor for that function. You'll be introduced to the company deliberately and take on backup responsibility for Controller functions one at a time. Our goal is for the right person to step into the Controller role within about four years, based on performance and the needs of the business.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in accounting
At least two years of multi-entity monthly close experience, public accounting experience, or both

Working knowledge of a cloud general ledger (Intuit Enterprise Suite, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite or similar) and strong Excel skills
Willingness to make AI tools part of your everyday work

Nice To Haves

CPA or on the CPA track
Experience with Claude or similar AI tools
Multi-state sales tax exposure

Responsibilities

Own the multi-state sales tax calendar: prepare returns and payments, maintain rate tables, and review calculations prepared by an outside partner

Prepare the monthly lender borrowing base and covenant package and all audit workpapers ahead of fieldwork, becoming the day-to-day contact for auditors and the bank over time

Back up daily bank posting and reconciliation, and be backed up in turn
