Remote Flagger Jobs in Buffalo, NY (NOW HIRING)

Why You'll Love Working Here: Our client is a fast-growing holding company that is scaling quickly across their operating companies. 

Why This Opportunity is Exciting: The Controller is a strategic financial partner to the CEO and the person who makes sure the books close cleanly every month. This is a builder's seat at a company that's scaling fast. You'll inherit a small, capable team that already handles the majority of day-to-day transactional work. Your job is to lead them and build the financial infrastructure a multi-entity roll up needs to keep growing. Our client is seeking someone who's a thought leader on strategy and capital but who will also roll up their sleeves and get the day-to-day done.
