Controller: High Standards. Tight Deadlines. Real Impact.

About You You don't wait for direction. You take control. You see problems early, move fast, and fix them completely. You bring discipline to messy environments and hold the line on quality, even when timelines are aggressive. You are:

• Relentlessly independent — you own outcomes end to end
• Commanding and direct, comfortable setting expectations and enforcing standards
• Intensely detail-driven — you notice what others miss and don't let it slide
• Fast-moving and decisive, able to execute under real pressure
• Uncompromisingly precise — accuracy is not negotiable
• Powered by a built-in sense of urgency — you expect things to move promptly
• Comfortable juggling multiple clients, deadlines, and priorities without losing control
• Willing to challenge bad information, bad processes, and bad habits
• Energized by accountability, complexity, and being the person everyone counts on

About the Role: As a Controller, you'll be the financial backbone for a portfolio of clients. You'll command the close process, enforce rigor, and ensure financials are accurate, timely, and decision-ready. You'll work closely with fractional CFOs, client leadership teams, and internal staff to elevate accounting from a back-office function to a strategic asset. You'll also be expected to drive change, even when there's resistance. That means leading system implementations, rolling out new processes, building automations, tightening controls, and ensuring audit readiness across multiple environments. You won't just maintain what exists, you'll fix what's broken and raise the bar. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment and takes pride in getting the details right—every time. Key Responsibilities: Client & Team Management

• Serve as the primary financial advisor for multiple clients.
• Oversee and manage a team of accountants, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting and compliance.
• Provide problem-solving expertise, addressing complex financial challenges and streamlining processes.

Financial Oversight & GAAP Compliance

• Review and analyze financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) in compliance with GAAP standards.
• Conduct month-end and year-end closings, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in financial reporting.
• Implement and enforce internal controls to safeguard financial integrity.

Accounting Operations & Software Proficiency

• Manage and oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, and general ledger functions.
• Leverage SAGE Intacct and QuickBooks Online for financial management, reporting, and process automation.
• Lead SAGE Intacct implementation projects, ensuring seamless integration and optimization of accounting processes (preferred but not required).

Project Management & Process Improvement

• Oversee accounting-related projects, ensuring milestones and deliverables are met on time.
• Identify opportunities for automation and efficiency improvements, optimizing accounting workflows and reporting structures.

Ideal Candidate Profile This role is for a Controller who moves fast, owns outcomes, and demands precision. You thrive in client-facing, high-pressure environments, take pride in tightening processes, and lead with confidence. If you can manage multiple clients without compromising accuracy—and want real responsibility, not routine—this role is for you. Qualifications:

• 5+ years of accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a managerial or client-facing role.
• Proven experience managing multiple client accounts simultaneously.
• Strong understanding of GAAP accounting principles, financial reporting, and internal controls.
• Experience with SAGE Intacct (implementation experience is a plus) and QuickBooks Online.
• Excellent problem-solving and leadership skills, with the ability to mentor and develop a team.
• Strong project management skills, with experience leading financial initiatives and process improvements.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other accounting software.
• Exceptional English communication skills (written and verbal), with the ability to present financial data clearly.
• Bachelor's degree in accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Ability to work effectively in a fully remote environment, maintaining high responsiveness and professionalism in client-facing interactions via video conferencing.
