Job Purpose

Right hand to the CFO, the Controller owns the accuracy, timeliness and integrity of all accounting operations for a private-equity-backed, multi-club Crunch Fitness platform in a high-growth build-out.

The Controller reconciles franchisor-controlled billing to the general ledger, supports lender covenant and sponsor reporting, and stands up the scalable processes and controls a growing platform requires. Success in this role means an accounting function that can support both rapid new-club expansion and eventual transaction diligence.
