We are seeking an experienced Portfolio Controller to help lead and strengthen the accounting and financial reporting functions across our portfolio. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, and wants broad exposure to multiple businesses rather than a single company.
This is a hands-on leadership role. We're looking for someone who can think strategically while remaining comfortable diving into the details when necessary. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable reviewing financial statements, improving processes, leading a team, and working through complex accounting issues.
What You'll Do

• Ensure timely and accurate financial reporting in accordance with GAAP.
• Review financial statements and account reconciliations for accuracy and completeness.
• Lead, mentor, and develop accounting team members across the portfolio.
• Improve accounting processes, workflows, and internal controls.
• Partner with business leaders to provide financial insights and operational support.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, cash flow monitoring, and financial analysis.
• Coordinate external audits, tax reporting, lender reporting, and compliance requirements.
• Support acquisition due diligence, purchase accounting, and post-acquisition integration activities.
• Standardize accounting policies and reporting practices across portfolio companies.
• Evaluate and implement process improvements and automation opportunities.
• Work closely with the CFO and Executive Team on special projects and strategic initiatives.
Qualifications
Required
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Experience managing accounting operations and month-end close processes.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Strong communication and leadership abilities.
Preferred
• CPA designation.
• Experience in a multi-entity or multi-location environment.
• Experience working with private equity, family office, or holding company structures.
• Experience supporting acquisitions and post-acquisition integrations.
• Experience with ERP implementations or accounting system optimization.
Who Thrives Here
You may be a great fit if you:
• Enjoy solving problems and improving processes.
• Take ownership and follow through.
• Prefer action over bureaucracy.
• Can operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Like variety and exposure to multiple businesses.
• Are willing to roll up your sleeves and work in the details when needed.
Why Join Us
• Work directly with executive leadership and company ownership.
• Broad exposure to multiple businesses and industries.
• Significant opportunity for professional growth and advancement.
• Involvement in acquisitions, integrations, and strategic projects.
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture focused on results.
If you're looking for a role where you can make a meaningful impact across a portfolio of growing businesses while continuing to develop as a finance leader, we'd love to hear from you.
