Résumé du poste

Zelh seeks a Financial Controller to lead accounting for a multi-entity setup tied to a logistics client. You will own the full close, manage payables/receivables, cash forecasting, and credit controls while ensuring audit-ready financials under US GAAP.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in progressive accounting, with 3+ years as Controller or Assistant Controller.
• Hands-on multi-entity month-end close, high-volume AP/AR management, 13-week cash forecasting, and customer credit administration.
• Strong US GAAP knowledge, internal control design, and advanced Excel.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.

Responsabilités

• Own month-end close across multi-entity operations (preliminary financials by Business Day 7; final close by BD 10).
• Prepare entity-level P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statements, reconciliations, and audit-ready schedules under US GAAP.
• Coordinate external audit, tax, lender, and regulatory reporting requirements.
• Reconcile operational platforms (TMS/operational software), factoring platforms, bank accounts, payroll, and the GL.
• Resolve data breaks promptly, address root causes, and optimize system integrations to reduce manual work.
• Manage end-to-end accounts payable, aging schedules, and payment runs within approved terms.
• Own the rolling 13-week operating cash flow forecast and update it weekly with actual-to-forecast variance analysis.
• Proactively escalate liquidity risks, funding needs, or overdue obligations before deadlines pass.
• Oversee billing, cash application, collections, AR aging, and factoring relationship reconciliations.
• Maintain customer credit registers, evaluate customer creditworthiness, and monitor exposure weekly.
• Enforce credit limits to prevent unauthorized exposure and issue weekly credit-risk reports to leadership.
• Lead accounting integration for new acquisitions (opening balances, system/bank migrations, payroll, and cut-off controls).
• Execute post-close working-capital reconciliations and deliver weekly integration status updates.
• Supply validated financial data, margin analysis, and variance commentary to corporate finance.
• Lead and mentor AP, AR, and staff accounting teams.
