Ready to take the lead in shaping the financial future of a growing, innovative company? If you thrive in a hands-on, entrepreneurial setting and love blending big-picture strategy with day-to-day execution, this role is built for you. Our client is looking for a confident Controller who can own the accounting function, manage a small team, and provide trusted insight to the leadership group—all while enjoying flexibility, autonomy, and a supportive culture.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead daily accounting operations, including AP/AR, general ledger, reconciliations, and reporting.
  • Prepare financial statements, budgets, and forecasts to guide business decisions.
  • Develop and refine processes, policies, and internal controls to ensure compliance.
  • Manage payroll and basic HR functions in a small-company environment.
  • Supervise and mentor an Accounting Assistant, fostering accuracy and accountability.
  • Support project-based accounting, including contract billing and progress reporting.

 

What They’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership responsibilities.
  • Strong knowledge of accounting principles, financial reporting, and compliance.
  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats—able to balance accounting, HR, and operational support.
  • Polished, professional communication skills with the confidence to work closely with ownership.
  • Bonus points for experience in forecasting, HR, or QuickBooks Online.

 

Why You’ll Love It There

  • Unlimited PTO – because they value balance and trust.
  • 70% employer-paid benefits – health, dental, and vision.
  • 401(k) match to invest in your future.
  • Flexibility – core hours around 40 per week, with natural upticks during payroll and month-end.

 

This is more than just a leadership role—it’s a chance to directly impact a growing business while being part of a team that values collaboration, positivity, and excellence. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, lead with confidence, and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you!
