Job Description

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Corporate Controller to join the firm.

CohnReznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week.

YOUR TEAM.

The Corporate Controller is responsible for directing the firm's internal accounting operations, ensuring the accuracy of financial reporting, and maintaining robust internal controls. This role requires a hands-on leader to optimize financial processes, oversee the close cycle across a regionalized operational structure, and provide strategic financial insights to the CAO and executive leadership.

YOUR ROLE.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Regional Oversight & Consolidation: Manage the corporate consolidation of various legal entities and offices while directing and collaborating with regional controllers. Ensure consistent application of accounting policies and standardized reporting across all regions.
• Financial & Stakeholder Reporting: Direct the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes. Ensure the accurate and timely delivery of complex, region-based management reporting packages to the Private Equity sponsor.
• Lender Compliance: Manage all lender reporting requirements, ensuring accurate calculation and timely submission of debt covenant compliance deliverables.
• Audit Execution & Support: Partner closely with the CAO in managing the external group audit. Act as a key operational liaison for auditors, coordinate schedules and deliverables across regions, and ensure all statutory and financial audits are completed strictly on schedule.
• Accounting Operations: Oversee daily centralized accounting activities, including general ledger management, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll.
• Internal Controls & Compliance: Design, implement, and maintain internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures to mitigate risk.
• System Optimization: Leverage SAP to automate workflows, improve data integrity, and accelerate the close and reporting cycles across all regions.
• Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and develop a high-performing corporate accounting team, establishing strong matrixed or direct reporting relationships with regional finance leaders.

YOUR EXPERIENCE.

The successful candidate will have:

• Education & Certification: Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required. Active CPA license is mandatory.
• Experience: 12+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 3-5 years in a Controller or senior accounting leadership role. Experience in a PE-backed environment with rigorous reporting deadlines is highly preferred. Public accounting experience is a big plus.
• Technical Expertise: Advanced knowledge of US GAAP (particularly ASC 606), internal control frameworks, and financial statement consolidation.
• Systems: Extensive hands-on experience with SAP or similar ERP is required.
• Skills: Exceptional time-management and project-management skills, with a proven track record of consistently meeting strict reporting and audit deadlines across decentralized teams.
