system, including chart of accounts design, entity mapping, data
migration, and process optimization.
* Ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and applicable accounting
standards.
* Identify opportunities to improve financial reporting, close
processes, and operational efficiency.
* Collaborate cross-functionally to support the organization's
continued growth through acquisitions.

What We're Looking For

* 7–12+ years of progressive accounting experience.
* Previous Controller experience preferred, though exceptional
Assistant Controllers with highly relevant experience are
encouraged to apply.
* Strong experience in multi-entity accounting and
consolidations.
* Background in acquisition-driven, roll-up, or aggregator
business models.
* Experience working within private equity-backed organizations
is highly desirable.
* Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP.
* Experience with domestic U.S. accounting operations.
* Experience managing cash-to-accrual accounting conversions.
* Advanced QuickBooks Desktop experience.
* Experience evaluating and implementing accounting systems and
technology.
* Proven ability to build scalable accounting processes rather
than simply following established procedures.

Preferred Qualifications

* CPA designation strongly preferred.
* Public accounting foundation is a significant plus.
* Experience implementing ERP systems such as NetSuite, Sage
Intacct, or similar platforms.
* Experience with chart-of-accounts redesign, system mapping,
data migration, and multi-entity implementations.
* Experience with expense management platforms such as Ramp.

Who You Are

* Comfortable balancing strategic thinking with day-to-day
operational responsibilities.
* Resilient and adaptable in a fast-changing environment.
* Collaborative while capable of working independently.

leadership team.
