Job description

About the Role

We are a growing, services-based recruiting firm seeking a Fractional Controller to design and oversee our financial reporting, profitability analysis, and forecasting. We already work with a bookkeeping firm that handles day-to-day transactions. This role is about financial structure, insight, and decision support, not data entry.

This is a fractional engagement with the potential to evolve as the business scales.

What You'll Own

Initial Setup (first 3060 days)

  • Design a GAAP-compliant chart of accounts aligned to how the business actually operates
  • Define accounting structure for profitability by search, client, and recruiter
  • Establish cost allocation logic for recruiter compensation, overhead, and shared expenses
  • Define monthly close process and reporting cadence in partnership with the bookkeeper
  • Build core financial models, including:
  • Search and client-level profitability
  • Recruiter productivity and margin analysis
  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Hiring and headcount impact scenarios

Ongoing (monthly)

  • Review monthly close prepared by the bookkeeping firm
  • Deliver management reporting with clear insights, not just financial statements
  • Maintain and update forecasts and scenario models
  • Act as a finance thought partner for hiring, growth, and cash decisions
  • Ensure consistency and accuracy across reporting periods

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not bookkeeping or transaction entry
  • Not payroll processing
  • Not AR/AP execution
  • Not tax preparation

This role is explicitly focused on designing financial systems and interpreting results, not recording activity.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • Prior experience as a Controller, Senior Controller, or Finance Lead
  • Strong GAAP and accrual accounting foundation
  • Demonstrated FP&A experience, including forecasting, scenario modeling, and variance analysis
  • Experience supporting professional services, recruiting, or project-based businesses
  • Proven ability to build and maintain:
  • Profitability models by client, project, or service line
  • Cash flow and hiring forecasts used for real decisions
    • Comfort working with QuickBooks or Xero data
    • Ability to translate financial data into clear, actionable guidance for operators

Nice to Have

  • CPA license
  • Prior fractional or startup experience
  • Experience partnering with external bookkeeping firms
  • Background supporting founder-led or growth-stage companies

Engagement Details

  • Fractional, contract-based role
  • Expected workload:
  • Initial setup: ~1020 hours total
  • Ongoing: ~38 hours per month
    • Fully remote
    • Competitive hourly or monthly retainer based on experience
