  • Lead a small, established accounting team while remaining hands-on with day-to-day operations

  • Prepare and analyze monthly financial statements, balance sheets, P&Ls, and management reporting



  • Manage monthly sales tax calculations, filings, and payments, ensuring accuracy and compliance



  • Lead and develop a team of three accounting professionals while remaining actively involved in daily accounting activities



  • Oversee cash flow, account reconciliations, financial controls, and overall accounting accuracy



  • Partner directly with ownership to improve accounting processes, financial visibility, and operational efficiency




Controller Qualifications:



  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including prior Controller or accounting leadership experience



  • Strong hands-on general ledger accounting, month-end close, and financial reporting experience



  • Direct experience managing monthly sales tax filings, payments, and compliance required



  • Previous experience supervising accounting staff while maintaining hands-on responsibility for daily operations
