Legal Controller Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CONTROLLER

ENVITA | Full-Time | On-Site | Scottsdale, Arizona

Compensation: $160,000-$185,000 base salary | Performance-based bonus opportunity

Reports to: Director of Accounting

Envita is seeking an exceptionally organized, hands-on financial professional to serve as the Corporate Governance Controller CPA for our management company.

This is not a traditional Corporate Governance Controller position. The role combines controller-level accounting responsibility, corporate governance, executive financial reporting, payroll administration, entity management, and financial operations into one highly visible position.

As responsibilities continue transitioning into the management company, this individual will effectively function as its controller. The successful candidate will own the management company’s day-to-day accounting operations while maintaining the integrity of corporate structure and becoming a trusted partner to the Director of Accounting and executive leadership.

The right person will be equally comfortable preparing an executive financial package, reconciling accounts, processing payroll, reviewing cash flow, maintaining corporate records, coordinating with outside advisors, and improving financial controls and reporting.

As Envita continues to expand across multiple healthcare businesses, operating companies, and emerging opportunities, the complexity of its financial and administrative operations is increasing. With additional responsibilities transitioning into the management company, Envita needs a single accountable professional who can:

• Establish clear ownership of the management company’s accounting operations.
 • Maintain accurate and current corporate-governance documentation.
 • Protect the financial and administrative integrity of Envita’s multi-entity structure.
 • Deliver timely, accurate, and decision-ready financial information to executive leadership.
 • Coordinate effectively with legal, tax, banking, and other external advisors.

The Corporate Governance Controller will help build the financial and governance foundation supporting a sophisticated, growing organization. Rather than simply maintaining an established accounting function, this person will evaluate current processes, clarify ownership, improve controls, organize corporate records, increase reporting visibility, and create scalable systems.

The successful candidate will become one of the organization’s most trusted financial and administrative partners.

Within the first 90 days, develop a complete understanding of the management company’s financial operations, reporting requirements, banking relationships, payroll processes, affiliated entities, and accounting workflows.

By the end of the first year:

Within the first three months, establish a centralized, organized, and dependable system for maintaining corporate records across the organization’s legal entities, including operating and management agreements, corporate resolutions, ownership records, loan documents, annual reports, state filings, minute books, and entity-formation or restructuring documents.

Success will be demonstrated by current, easily retrievable documentation, clearly assigned responsibilities, and no preventable missed filing or compliance deadlines.

Within the first 90 days, establish a consistent monthly executive-reporting process that gives leadership meaningful visibility into financial performance, liquidity, cash requirements, investments, risks, and operating trends.

The goal is not simply to distribute financial information. The goal is to organize and interpret it so leadership can make better and faster decisions.

Immediately assume responsibility for administering payroll for approximately 40 employees through ADP while coordinating closely with Human Resources and leadership.

Develop strong working relationships with the Director of Accounting, executive leadership, Human Resources, legal counsel, outside CPAs, tax advisors, investment professionals, insurance providers, and banking partners.

The individual should become known for complete discretion, financial accuracy, strong judgment, reliable follow-through, proactive communication, exceptional organization, timely escalation of risks, practical problem-solving, and personal ownership of results.
