The Role

\n

\n

We're looking for a hands-on Controller who is equally comfortable setting financial strategy and rolling up their sleeves to get the work done. This is a working controller position in a lean, high-performing environment — not a supervisory role removed from day-to-day operations. You'll own the accounting function and be a key voice in how the business uses financial data to make decisions.
