Controller

Description & Requirements

Controller
Full-Time - In-Office

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who wants to do more than oversee accounting from a distance. The Controller will take ownership of the monthly close, reconciliations, forecasting, financial reporting, and analysis while strengthening systems, controls, and processes to support a growing business. Reporting directly to the Owner/CEO, this individual will have a meaningful voice in business decisions and will be expected to turn financial data into clear insights, identify risks, and help guide the company toward smarter, sustainable growth.
