Controller Director information

What is a controller director?

Controller Directors are senior financial executives responsible for overseeing a company's accounting operations, financial reporting, compliance, and internal controls. They typically manage teams of accountants and financial analysts, ensure the accuracy of financial statements, and help develop financial policies and procedures. Controller Directors often report to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and play a key role in strategic planning, budgeting, and risk management within an organization.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a controller director?

To thrive as a Controller Director, you need a deep understanding of corporate accounting, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance, usually backed by a degree in accounting or finance and a CPA or similar certification. Expertise in ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, advanced Excel skills, and familiarity with financial analysis tools are commonly required. Strong leadership, strategic thinking, and communication skills are essential for managing teams and influencing organizational decisions. These abilities ensure accurate financial management, regulatory adherence, and effective support of business objectives.

What are the most common challenges faced by controller directors when overseeing multi-department financial operations?

Controller Directors often encounter challenges in ensuring consistency and accuracy across multiple departments, especially when each may have its own processes and reporting standards. Balancing the need for strong internal controls with the flexibility required by various business units can also be demanding. Additionally, Controller Directors must frequently collaborate with executive leadership to align financial strategies with organizational goals, requiring excellent communication and problem-solving skills. Staying updated on regulatory changes and implementing best practices across the organization are ongoing responsibilities.

Job description

About FRONTSTEPS
FRONTSTEPS is the leading community management software platform for homeowners associations (HOAs), community association management companies, and the residents they serve. From accounting and payments to communication, security, and resident engagement, we bring every part of community operations together in one streamlined platform. More than 23,000 communities nationwide - home to over 4 million residents - run on FRONTSTEPS.
Headquartered in downtown Denver and backed by private equity, we're a profitable, growth-oriented vertical SaaS company with a big opportunity in front of us. Our core values guide how we work: move with purpose and urgency; innovate and fail forward; take care of the customer at all times; develop our people; and be open, honest, and transparent.
About the Role
We're hiring a Controller to own the accounting function end to end. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the monthly close, GAAP financial reporting, the annual external audit, tax compliance, payroll, treasury, and internal controls. You'll lead a small, capable accounting team and report directly to the VP of Finance.
This is a classic controllership seat done at a high standard. We operate in a private equity-backed environment where the bar for accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness is high: lender reporting and board reporting depend on numbers that reconcile the first time. If you take pride in a tight close, clean reconciliations, and a well-documented file, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Own
Monthly Close & Financial Reporting
  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close - drive the close calendar, checklist, and reconciliation discipline to a consistent 5-7 business day close
  • Prepare accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements and supporting schedules for management, board, and lender reporting
  • Own the general ledger, chart of accounts, and account reconciliations across all entities and product lines, including intercompany eliminations
  • Drive accrual completeness - standardized processes for expense accruals, prepaids, bonus and commission accruals, and deferred revenue

Audit & Technical Accounting
  • Serve as primary owner of the annual external audit: PBC list, auditor requests, technical memos, and financial statement footnotes
  • Maintain and apply technical accounting positions including ASC 606 (revenue recognition), ASC 842 (leases), ASC 350-40 (capitalized software), and ASC 340-40 (commission capitalization)
  • Prepare audit-ready documentation for judgmental areas and keep accounting policies current as the business evolves

Tax & Compliance
  • Manage federal, state, and local tax compliance in partnership with outside tax advisors - income, sales/use, franchise, and property tax filings
  • Own multi-state nexus monitoring, state registrations, business licenses, and voluntary disclosure matters as our footprint grows
  • Maintain 1099, W-9, escheatment, and other regulatory compliance calendars

Payroll & Commissions
  • Oversee semi-monthly payroll processing through our PEO (Insperity), including new-hire setup, state registrations, and benefits reconciliations
  • Own commission calculations and true-ups against approved comp plans, with clear documentation of methodology
  • Manage independent contractor payments and compliance, including international contractors

Treasury, AP/AR & Cash
  • Own banking relationships, cash positioning, and weekly cash reporting; administer positive pay and payment fraud controls
  • Oversee accounts payable, corporate card programs, expense reporting, and vendor management
  • Oversee billing, collections, and cash application; partner with revenue operations on billing accuracy and DSO

Controls, Systems & Team
  • Strengthen internal controls and segregation of duties; document key processes and support SOC 2 finance-related controls
  • Serve as functional owner of our ERP (Sage Intacct) - drive GL hygiene, dimension structure, and automation of manual work
  • Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team including an Assistant Controller and accounting staff; build the development plans and cross-training that make the function resilient

What You'll Bring
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 4+ years as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Director of Accounting
  • CPA strongly preferred; public accounting foundation (audit) a plus
  • Deep US GAAP fluency, including hands-on experience with ASC 606 in a SaaS or recurring-revenue business
  • Experience in a private equity-backed and/or SaaS company - comfort with lender reporting and board materials
  • Track record of running a tight, well-documented close and a clean audit
  • Multi-state tax compliance experience; PEO payroll experience a plus
  • Sage Intacct (or comparable mid-market ERP) experience strongly preferred
  • Advanced Excel; curiosity about AI and automation tools to eliminate manual work
  • A player-coach mentality - you set the standard, review the detail, and develop your team

PAY RANGE & DESCRIPTION
This position will be based full-time out of our FRONTSTEPS' Denver, CO headquarters and pays $165,000 - $195,000 per year, plus an annual performance bonus.
Benefits for Full Time roles include the following:
• 100% company paid onsite employee parking
• Medical, Dental, and Vision
• Company-sponsored Life Insurance
• Voluntary Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance
• FSA/HSA
• Paid Time Off
• Sick Time
• 401k match
FRONTSTEPS is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, marital status, protected veteran status, or disability status.
