Controller
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Salary: $90,000 - $130,000 annually, depending on experience
Schedule: Full-Time
Benefits: Health benefits, paid time off, and performance bonus opportunity
Position Overview
We are seeking a hands-on, experienced Controller to lead and strengthen our accounting and financial operations. This is an ideal opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys being directly involved in the numbers while also providing leadership and guidance to a growing team.
This position is not designed for someone who wants to operate solely at an executive or advisory level. We are looking for a doer and a thinker who can prepare and review accounting entries, develop financial statements, analyze cash flow, improve processes, and ensure the organization maintains accurate and compliant financial records.
The successful candidate will provide accounting leadership to an existing team responsible for billing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and transactional accounting.
The Controller will bring the technical accounting expertise needed to guide that team, improve reporting, and build a stronger financial infrastructure as the organization continues to grow.
For someone who wants to grow beyond the Controller level in the future, this position offers meaningful exposure to leadership and the opportunity to develop toward a C-suite financial role as the company expands.

• Help ensure compliance with sales tax, tax exemption, and other accounting requirements.

• Ensure compliance with GAAP and applicable financial regulations.
• Coordinate annual reviews, audits, and tax requests with external CPA firms.
• Monitor compliance with company financial policies and controls.
• Establish departmental goals and performance standards.
• Assist with annual budgeting and forecasting processes.
