This role is about execution, accuracy, and autonomy.  You will not inherit a clean system.  You will build one. The CEO has a finance background and personally uncovered significant errors made by prior CPA credentialed, Controller-tenured hires.  We’re looking for someone who doesn’t need their work checked and who takes pride in getting it right the first time.  We need someone who can run a clean, institutional-grade process from GL and cash control through board-ready reporting with help from an experienced offshore team and strong internal support on operations and analytics. Key Responsibilities Close & Accounting Infrastructure Own and execute the full month-end close Manage GL integrity, reconciliations, accruals, and journal entries Document and enforce a 5 day close process with zero tolerance for sloppiness Supervise and direct our offshore accounting team Cash, AR, and Revenue Oversight Oversee cash movement and intercompany activity Maintain accrual-based revenue workflows and ensure clean categorization Build and manage a 13-week rolling cash forecast Prepare and review daily bank reconciliations; escalate and resolve exceptions Systems, Reporting & Audit Generate reporting from Sage Intacct Maintain the chart of accounts and GL mapping logic Produce internal and board-level financials with full supporting schedules Prepare for audit-level scrutiny across accounting policies and monthly processes Controls & Policy Own internal controls around payments, payroll, write-offs, capitalization, etc. Interface with external CPAs on tax prep and filings Formalize accounting policies and ensure consistent GAAP application Ensure accounting standards are applied consistently across all entities and acquisitions.

Experience implementing or optimizing ERP workflows. Comfort working in a high-growth environment. What We Don’t Want: We do not view “DSO experience” as a positive. We’ve seen the typical DSO controller profile and found it lacking in process rigor, ownership mentality, and technical capability. This is a role for a builder — someone who wants to run clean books, own outcomes, and operate at a higher standard.
