Sr. Controller - General Ledger Shared Services

Teamshares • Central Point, OR

40d • Remote

About The Position

My Financial Partner delivers high quality, fast-paced fractional Controller, AP, and GL services to 70+ network companies across the Teamshares portfolio. We're a wholly owned subsidiary of Teamshares, Inc. — a publicly traded company built to keep great small businesses thriving, one acquisition at a time.

The Senior Controller, GL Shared Services owns the record-to-report (R2R) process for the approximately 100 Network Companies supported by MFP, a number that grows with each acquisition. This is a hands-on operational execution and leadership role: working collaboratively with MFP’s Industry Controllers, you will run the monthly, quarterly and year-end close, for the GL task responsibilities, own the training and standards used to perform the functions, and build a scalable, SOX-ready shared services team for GL as MFP grows through acquisition.
You will lead a blended onshore and Colombia-based offshore team, growing to 10-15 people by 2027, integrate newly acquired companies onto standard processes and systems, and partner with Network Company Controllers, FP&A, Tax and the Chief Accounting Officer. Success means a faster, more accurate, well-controlled close that can absorb new companies without a matching increase in headcount.

• Experience building a high performing team and in-depth knowledge of staffing models and scaling teams in a shared services environment to include hiring, restructuring roles and developing GL team leaders.

• Strong U.S. GAAP knowledge across accruals, fixed assets, leases (ASC 842), revenue (ASC 606) and business combinations (ASC 805).
