POSITION SUMMARY
The Controller leads All Pro Security's accounting operations and is accountable for the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of the monthly close process across a multi-entity, multi-state organization. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance & Accounting, this is a hands-on player-coach role: you will help manage and develop a team of two, own the monthly close end-to-end, oversee payroll and tax compliance, and serve as the company's authority on GAAP, internal controls, and accounting systems.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who knows how to build scalable close processes to compress the close, streamline AR/AP and payroll workflows, and free the team from repetitive manual work so they can focus on accuracy, analysis, and controls.
This role sits at the center of a growing, PE-backed platform, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys maintaining financial integrity and partnering with leadership to drive informed business decisions.
