Job Description

Controller

Are you a Controller who thrives in building processes, creating structure, and helping businesses scale through acquisition? This newly created Controller opportunity offers the chance to play a key role in the growth of an expanding portfolio of operating companies.
This is not a traditional Controller position. The successful Controller will help establish the accounting infrastructure, reporting processes, and consolidation framework for a rapidly growing transportation-focused platform that is actively acquiring businesses.

What You'll Do

As the Controller, you will:

Oversee accounting and financial reporting across multiple operating companies
Lead monthly and quarterly consolidation processes
Develop accounting policies, controls, and reporting procedures
Partner with leadership on acquisition integration activities
Manage intercompany accounting and reconciliation processes
Support treasury activities and corporate accounting functions
Evaluate accounting systems and help drive future system decisions
Ensure compliance, accuracy, and consistency across various accounting teams
Assist in building the accounting organization as the platform grows

What We're Looking For

Progressive accounting leadership experience, ideally within a Controller, or Assistant Controller
Experience overseeing accounting teams and financial close processes
Strong understanding of consolidations and intercompany accounting
Ability to create processes and operate effectively in a growing, evolving environment
Financial analysis skills and strong business acumen
Experience supporting multi-entity organizations is highly preferred

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Mostly remote position
Newly created role with significant visibility to executive leadership
Opportunity to help build an accounting function from the ground up
Direct involvement in acquisitions and integration projects
Exposure to multiple industries and operating businesses
Strong growth potential as the organization continues expanding

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary generally targeted in the $130,000-$150,000 range depending on experience
Discretionary bonus opportunity
Limited travel, typically related to acquisitions and operational visits
