Controller, Accounting Operations & FP&A

Controller, Accounting Operations & FP&A Join a remote-first, sponsor-backed professional services business at a stage where the finance function is becoming a true growth lever.

This is an internal Controller role for someone who is already strong in accounting operations and wants a broader seat across faster close, cleaner reporting, FP&A support, acquisition integration, automation, and direct partnership with senior finance and executive leadership.

The Opportunity The company is scaling through a mix of core services growth, new offerings, and acquisition activity.

The finance team needs a hands-on Controller who can keep the accounting engine accurate and dependable while helping modernize how the business closes, reports, forecasts, and integrates new lines of business. This is not a narrow bookkeeping seat, and it is not a hands-off VP Finance role.

It is ideal for a highly capable Controller who wants to stay close to the GL, own the accounting operating cadence, and build toward broader FP&A and strategic finance exposure over time.

What You Will Own Accounting Operations Own day-to-day accounting operations across payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, reconciliations, month-end close, and reporting workflows. Lead the close process with a focus on speed, accuracy, reviewability, and repeatability.

Maintain clean financial records that support leadership reporting, board reporting, audit readiness, and future lender-related data requests. Oversee and develop one direct report in a senior accountant / accounting specialist capacity.

Support required registrations, compliance-related finance administration, and other operational finance needs as they arise. Reporting, FP&A, and Leadership Support Build and improve financial reporting packages so leadership can review results earlier, identify insights faster, and make better decisions.
