• Position open due to a retirement
• Strong, cost-effective benefits with the employer covering ~⅔ of health insurance

• starting at 3+ weeks PTO with a flexible, balanced approach
• Opportunity to shape reporting, controls, and systems across a multi-entity organization
• Newly renovated headquarters and campus environment
• Stable, well-capitalized company with long-term growth focus
• Collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves culture where your impact is visible
• High energy industry

Key Responsibilities for the Controller:


• Lead month-end close and ensure accurate, timely consolidated financial reporting
• Oversee cash management and maintain strong liquidity across entities
• Manage audit processes, banking relationships, and compliance/covenant reporting
• Drive integration and standardization across merged entities and ERP systems
• Lead and develop accounting team, including AP/AR and operations finance support
• Identify discrepancies, resolve misallocations, and improve financial processes

Qualifications for the Controller:

• Hands-on leadership style with ability to operate in a dynamic, evolving organization
