Description



Controller


Are you a Controller who thrives in building processes, creating structure, and helping businesses scale through acquisition? This newly created Controller opportunity offers the chance to play a key role in the growth of an expanding portfolio of operating companies.
This is not a traditional Controller position. The successful Controller will help establish the accounting infrastructure, reporting processes, and consolidation framework for a rapidly growing transportation-focused platform that is actively acquiring businesses.

What You'll Do


As the Controller, you will:

  • Oversee accounting and financial reporting across multiple operating companies

  • Lead monthly and quarterly consolidation processes

  • Develop accounting policies, controls, and reporting procedures

  • Partner with leadership on acquisition integration activities

  • Manage intercompany accounting and reconciliation processes

  • Support treasury activities and corporate accounting functions

  • Evaluate accounting systems and help drive future system decisions

  • Ensure compliance, accuracy, and consistency across various accounting teams

  • Assist in building the accounting organization as the platform grows


What We're Looking For



  • Progressive accounting leadership experience, ideally within a Controller, or Assistant Controller

  • Experience overseeing accounting teams and financial close processes

  • Strong understanding of consolidations and intercompany accounting

  • Ability to create processes and operate effectively in a growing, evolving environment

  • Financial analysis skills and strong business acumen

  • Experience supporting multi-entity organizations is highly preferred


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Mostly remote position

  • Newly created role with significant visibility to executive leadership

  • Opportunity to help build an accounting function from the ground up

  • Direct involvement in acquisitions and integration projects

  • Exposure to multiple industries and operating businesses

  • Strong growth potential as the organization continues expanding


Compensation & Benefits



  • Base salary generally targeted in the $130,000-$150,000 range depending on experience

  • Discretionary bonus opportunity

  • Limited travel, typically related to acquisitions and operational visits
