Job description

Financial Controller — Suburban Transportation Group

Suburban Transportation Group has kept Central New York moving for over 35 years. We run a 200+ vehicle fleet and a team of 300+ across non-emergency medical transport, paratransit, special-needs busing, and shuttle service — multiple affiliated companies across Central New York and the Capital Region. We're growing, and modernizing fast, and we're hiring a full-time Financial Controller to own the numbers behind all of it.

The role

You'll report directly to the CEO and be the single source of truth for the group's financials. This is a hands-on ownership role: you close the books, you consolidate across entities, you keep intercompany activity clean, and — critically — you keep improving the systems that produce our numbers. That means the accounting stack — Intuit Enterprise Suite and QuickBooks Online — and the operational systems behind it: dispatch and trip data, fleet and telematics, workforce and payroll. The financials are only as good as that data, and you'll own the pipelines that tie it all together.

What you'll do

·   Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close across multiple entities.

·   Deliver consolidated and entity-level statements with clear, useful analysis.

·   Keep intercompany billing, allocations, and eliminations accurate.

·   Turn operational data into trusted financials — trip/billing from dispatch platforms, vehicle data from fleet systems, labor data from workforce and payroll systems.

·   Improve and automate the accounting stack — fewer manual steps, cleaner data, tighter controls.

·   Run cash, AR/AP, budgeting, and forecasting; partner with the CEO on financing and planning.

·   Use AI (we lean on Claude daily) to automate the grunt work and sharpen analysis.

·   Own tax filings and contract/program compliance — sales & use tax, workforce utilization, NTD, and healthcare billing.

·   Work directly with our outside tax and financial-review advisors.


What you bring

·   5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full-cycle close.

·   Multi-entity consolidation and intercompany experience.

·   Genuine fluency with QuickBooks Online and/or Intuit Enterprise Suite, plus the instinct to integrate and automate new tools.

·   Comfort pulling and reconciling data from operational platforms — dispatch, fleet/telematics, and workforce/payroll systems.

·   Strong Excel and data-cleanup skills.

·   CPA a plus. Experience with AP/payments automation or workflow-integration tooling a strong plus.

·   A direct, organized operator who owns the numbers and says what's true.

·   Genuine enthusiasm for AI tools as a force multiplier — we use Claude every day and want someone who'll run with it.


Why join

This is a build role with a straight line to the CEO — no layers, real ownership, and the chance to design how a modern multi-entity finance function actually runs. You'll have a CEO who's all-in on modern tooling and AI, so there's no fighting to try new things. Competitive base of $115,000–$140,000 depending on experience plus comprehensive benefits.
