A bit about us:

An established, fast-growing services company with a global footprint is seeking a Controller to help lead strategic accounting initiatives and drive finance modernization across a multi-entity, international business.

This company has evolved from its core to expand its offerings. Their reach spans internationally, and they’re actively investing in streamlining and transforming their finance infrastructure.

Why join us?
  • Real build stage - improvements, not just maintenance
  • International footprint with multi-entity complexity
  • Leadership that values mentorship and growth
  • Tight-knit finance team with a collaborative culture
  • ERP program to put your systems chops to work

Job Details

We are a global services company seeking a Controller to lead our accounting team through a period of transformation. This role is ideal for someone who is currently an Assistant Controller ready to step up, or a newer Controller seeking a growth runway. The environment is still highly manual and complex, so the right person will come in expecting effort, challenge, and the opportunity to build something meaningful.

What you will own
  • Lead the accounting close from start to finish, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting
  • Oversee AR and AP teams, ensuring accuracy and timely processing while jumping in to help when needed
  • Review and improve processes, document policies, and prepare the team for an ERP implementation in the next 12–18 months
  • Maintain GAAP compliance, internal controls, and audit readiness
  • Provide insight into financial drivers, understanding upstream and downstream impacts of decisions
  • Mentor and develop team members; potential to add an Accounting Manager role underneath you
What you bring
  • Assistant Controller or early Controller experience in a mid-sized ($200–500M) company
  • 9–10 years total experience
  • Strong GAAP fundamentals, CPA and public accounting strongly preferred
  • International exposure strongly preferred
  • Hands-on leadership style with natural financial intuition — knows not just what to do, but why
