    Job Description

    Camino is partnering with a fast-growing software holding company that owns and operates a decentralized portfolio of software businesses. The business consolidates accounting, reporting, and finance centrally while its portfolio companies run day-to-day operations independently, giving it the pace and flexibility of a group of small companies with the reporting rigor of one unified organization.

    \n

    The company is in an active growth phase, having recently completed a series of acquisitions, and is now investing in building a best in class accounting function.

    The Role

    \n

    We're looking for a hands-on Controller to own day-to-day accounting operations and be a close partner to the CFO. This is a builder's role: you'll set up and organize the books, lead a transition to a modern accounting platform, and manage the accounting implications of a growing, multi-entity, multi-currency structure across the portfolio. Great fit for someone who wants to build and organize a function, not maintain one that's already built.

    • \n
    • Manage the general ledger, AP, AR, and revenue recognition at the HQ level
    • \n
    • Lead the finance side of a transition to a modern accounting platform, including chart of accounts design and data migration, followed by an AP automation rollout
    • \n
    • Own consolidation for multiple entities, including multi-currency reporting across the portfolio
    • \n
    • Serve as the connective tissue between portfolio-company bookkeepers and HQ finance, without requiring a fully centralized back office
    • \n

    • \n
    • Operate with a high degree of autonomy in an early stage, fast-moving environment

    • Progressive accounting experience with Controller or Assistant Controller-level scope
    • \n
    • Multi-entity, multi-currency accounting and consolidation experience
    • \n
    • CPA
    • \n
    • Comfortable building and organizing books and processes from scratch, rather than maintaining an already-mature environment
    • \n
    • Prior experience in a decentralized, multi-entity, or acquisitive company structure (holding company, roll-up, or PE-backed portfolio company) is a plus
    • \n
    • Software/SaaS industry experience preferred
    • \n
    • Motivated and comfortable in a raw, fast-paced environment
    • \n
