Job Title: Controller
Salary: $150,000–$160,000, depending on experience
Location: Portland, OR (Onsite)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Highly visible leadership role reporting directly to ownership within a long-standing, privately held company.
  • Blend of strategic oversight and hands-on leadership, offering meaningful impact on operations and financial direction
  • Stable, well-established organization with long-term ownership involvement and decision-making access
  • Lead and develop a small, dedicated accounting team while driving process improvements and strengthening internal controls

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the monthly close process and oversee the preparation and review of financial statements across property-level and related family entities
  • Supervise and mentor a team while reviewing reconciliations, journal entries, payroll, management fees, disbursements, bonus calculations, and partner distributions
  • Manage all treasury functions, including wires, ACH, internal transfers, positive pay, online banking administration, and credit card controls
  • Coordinate audits and regulatory reporting, partner with the external tax firm on year-end schedules and estimated payments, and ensure compliance with property tax and business filings
  • Drive process improvements, strengthen internal controls, lead special projects, and collaborate cross-functionally with operations and ownership

Qualifications:

  • CPA required
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally within multi-entity environments
  • Demonstrated success in leading and developing accounting teams
  • Strong knowledge of tax compliance, audit coordination, and financial reporting
  • Comfortable partnering closely with ownership and operations

Timing is everything. We specialize in placing accounting and finance professionals, and many of our roles are not posted online. Whether you are actively searching or simply open to learning about new opportunities, we would welcome the chance to connect and share more about this role and others in the market.
