Love consulting, client variety, and leading the room—but hate the public accounting grind?

At Vessel Advisors, we deliver financial clarity and operational certainty to growth-stage CEOs. We operate as an outsourced financial executive team, blending strategic finance, accounting systems, and data-driven insights.

We are expanding our core team with a full-time Consulting Controller who thrives in dynamic, multi-client environments. If you have a foundation in public accounting/audit, love stepping into ambiguous client setups, and possess elite executive presence to lead in-person assessments, this role was built for you.

Why Join Vessel Advisors?
  • No 80-Hour Busy Seasons: Enjoy high-impact, multi-client advisory work with predictable travel and remote flexibility.
  • True Advisory Focus: You won’t just manage a ledger; you will facilitate intensive onsite assessments, advise C-suite leaders, and design financial roadmaps that directly impact client bottom lines.
  • Ownership & Growth: Lead end-to-end client engagements and work directly alongside former Big 4 and CFO practice leaders.
Core Responsibilities
  • Lead Onsite Financial Assessments: Facilitate 2–3 day in-person discovery sessions with growth-stage CEOs and executive teams to evaluate financial health, internal controls, and operational bottlenecks.
  • Deliver Strategic Recommendations: Author comprehensive assessment reports and partner with Vessel CFOs/Advisors to present actionable financial roadmaps to client leadership.
  • Fractional Controller Leadership: Serve as the lead Controller across a portfolio of recurring clients, managing month-end close quality, budget/forecast builds, and accounting system optimizations.
  • Drive Clean-Up & Integration: Step into complex financial setups, identify risk areas, and establish internal controls to make client books "audit-ready."
  • Lead Teams & Contractors: Direct and review the work of supporting accounting staff and specialized contractors to ensure quality, budget, and scope targets are met.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For
  • Public Accounting Roots: 3–5+ years of foundational experience in financial audit, assurance, or risk advisory at a public accounting firm. CPA license is a bonus, okay if inactive.
  • Controller / Advisory Experience: 8+ years in progressive accounting roles, including proven experience managing multi-client engagements or corporate financial operations.
  • Room Facilitator & Executive Presence: Exceptional ability to lead in-person discovery meetings, command a room of executive stakeholders, and navigate complex conversations with composure.
  • Tech-Savvy & Systems Mindset: High proficiency in cloud accounting platforms (QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct) and modern finance tech stacks.
  • Proactive Project Manager: Obsessively organized, agile when travel schedules shift, and comfortable operating in a 95% Slack / 70% client email environment.

Location & Travel Requirements

  • Approved States: Candidates must currently reside in one of the following states: Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Texas, or California. (Applications outside these states cannot be processed at this time).
  • Travel: Ability to travel up to two (2) times per month for 2–3 day client onsite assessments, plus an annual team retreat.
  • Required: Annual Staff Retreat, 3-4 Days in Southern California
