Description

Controller
Salary: $120,000–$145,000 Base


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Join a successful, family-owned company with approximately $220M in revenue, a strong culture, and significant growth ahead.

  • Partner directly with the CFO and leadership team to connect accounting, financial analysis, and business strategy while helping drive important business decisions.

  • Enjoy a highly tenured team, strong work/life balance, hybrid flexibility, summer hours, and a 4.5% 401(k) match.

  • Hybrid schedule


Key Responsibilities



  • Lead the month-end close process and ensure accurate, timely financial reporting.

  • Analyze business performance, pricing, costs, and financial opportunities while connecting accounting results to broader business objectives.

  • Partner with the CFO and leadership team on business cases, budgeting, forecasting, pricing decisions, and strategic initiatives.

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of two direct reports while fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture.

  • Support continued growth of the organization, including opportunities to expand responsibilities into the dealership side of the business.


Qualifications



  • 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, ideally including Controller or accounting leadership experience.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field; MBA preferred. CPA is a plus.

  • Strong analytical and business acumen with the ability to think beyond traditional accounting and understand the bigger picture.

  • Advanced Excel skills required; Power Query and SQL experience are a plus.

  • Experience with E-Automate, ConnectWise, LeaseWave, or similar ERP/business systems is preferred.

  • Collaborative, high-integrity leader who values trust, teamwork, and long-term relationships.
