Controller – Industrial Services (Remote)

We're working with a well-established, PE-backed industrial
services company that operates across multiple specialized
business units. They're known for complex, mission-critical work
in sectors like food & beverage, cold storage, pharma, and
healthcare — and they run a lean, fast-moving finance function
that actually has a seat at the table.

They're looking for a Controller to own accounting and financial
reporting for one of their core business units, reporting
directly to the Corporate Controller.

The role

This is a hands-on leadership seat — you're building and
enforcing the close process, running the reconciliations,
managing cash, and making sure the financials are airtight. But
it doesn't stop at compliance. You'll be working directly with
operations leadership on budgets, forecasts, and financial
decisions that move the business. If you're looking for a
heads-down scorekeeper role, this isn't it.

Day to day you'll be responsible for:

* Running the monthly close — owning the process, the deadlines,
and the quality
* Account reconciliations and variance analysis
* Oversight of daily transaction processing: AR, AP, WIP, cash
receipts
* Payroll accounting and job costing
* Cash flow management and reporting to executives
* Tax filings across multiple jurisdictions
* GAAP compliance, including implementation of new standards
* Budgets, forecasts, and projections
* KPI development and management reporting
* Financial input on capital decisions, pricing, and contract
negotiations

What they're looking for

Must-haves:

* 10–15 years of relevant experience, with at least 5 in a
supervisory role
* Construction or job-costing accounting background — this is a
real requirement, not a nice-to-have
* Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business
Administration
* A work style that's comfortable being both the leader and the
one in the weeds

Differentiators:

* CPA
* Public accounting background (3–5 years at a firm)
* PE-backed company experience

The details

* Fully remote - no threat of RTO
* Compensation: $100,000 – $120,000 base
* Annual bonus: approximately 20%

If this sounds like a fit, I'd love to have a quick conversation
to learn more about your background before sharing additional
details. Please drop us your resume.
