Own the Numbers. All of Them.

Most Controller titles come with an asteriskyou manage a team, you review someone elses work, you own a slice of the function. This one is different.
You will be the entire accounting operation for a company with 100+ years of history, and leadership will look to you (and only you) for the financial truth.
If youve built excellence in both sides of accountinghands-on execution and strategic leadershipthis is a rare role where both matter every day.
If youre tired of companies that treat finance as an afterthought, youll find the opposite here: ownership wants a true financial partner and is ready to invest in one.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

• Total ownershipno committees, no layers, no waiting for approval to fix what you know is broken. You build the processes, you set the standards, you own the results.
• A blank canvas with real supportthis company has never operated with formal budgets; you will build them from the ground up and become the person leadership relies on to decide where to scale and where to pull back.
• Room to grow with the businessthis role wont stay static; as you bring structure to the finances, your scope and influence grow, and ownership wants someone who will help shape the next chapter (not just close the books on the last one).
• Stability you can plan a life around100+ years of history, a healthy business, and ownership looking for someone to grow with them long term; this is a destination role, not a stepping stone.
• Respect for how you workflexible PTO, remote or hybrid flexibility, and a culture that trusts professionals to manage their own time.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• The full accounting cyclerun AR and AP end-to-end: invoicing, billing, collections, vendor management, and payment processing; keep receivables tight, follow up on past-due accounts early, and ensure leadership is never surprised.
• Payrollaccurate, on time, and fully compliant with federal, state, and local regulations; maintain payroll records, manage deductions, handle inquiries, and reconcile payroll accounts.
• Daily accounting and reconciliationsdaily data entry done right the first time; regular reconciliations across bank, credit card, and general ledger accounts; maintain a general ledger and chart of accounts youd be proud to show an auditor anytime.
• Financial reporting, budgeting, and forecastingmonthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements; full ownership of month-end and year-end close; budgets built from scratch with actuals reported against them; forecasts that show where the business is headed with clear recommendations.
• Banking and external relationshipsprimary point of contact with banks (credit lines and rates) and coordination with external CPA firm/auditors to keep tax preparation and audit readiness on track.
• Process and structurebuild repeatable processes and internal controls where little exists today, then teach the broader team what good financial discipline looks like.
• QuickBooks administrationserve as the in-house QuickBooks authority: setup, maintenance, reporting, troubleshooting, data integrity, and best practices.

WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE

• 10+ years of progressive, hands-on accounting experience (hands-on is the key word).
• Background includes companies in the $5M$30M revenue range where you personally did the work (not just reviewed it).
• If your experience is limited to large organizations with deep accounting departments, this role will not be a fitby design.
• Expert in QuickBooks (Desktop or Online)non-negotiable.
• Strong GAAP knowledge, strong Excel skills, and a Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA is a plus, not required.
• No ego about the workdata entry in the morning, leadership forecasting in the afternoon, and you take satisfaction in both.
• Clear communicator, self-managed deadline owner (no chasing required), and you want to plant roots somewhere that values what you bring.
