Job description

Rolfson Oil, a Trive Capital portfolio company, is North America’s largest oilfield-only fueling provider — $1B+ in revenue across the Permian, Bakken, MidCon, Powder River, and Haynesville basins, growing rapidly through acquisition. We’re hiring a Controller to own the close, reporting, and controls environment and to help build the financial infrastructure for our next phase of growth.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on, business-facing Controller seat reporting directly to the CFO in a multi-entity, PE-owned environment operating at institutional reporting standards. You’ll own monthly and quarterly close, the consolidated balance sheet, sponsor and lender reporting, tax compliance, the AP and P-Card function, and the controls environment — while leading two enterprise systems initiatives (NetSuite post-implementation and a new fixed asset system) and supporting live M&A activity. You’ll engage regularly with operations, customers, vendors, auditors, taxing authorities, and deal counterparties. Prior experience as a sitting Controller is required.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Close & Reporting: Monthly/quarterly close and GAAP financial statements across a multi-entity structure; board- and sponsor-ready packages for Trive Capital including KPI dashboards, variance analysis, and ABL covenant compliance reporting.
• Balance Sheet & Compliance: Ownership of the consolidated balance sheet — account reconciliations, integrity, and substantiation — and management of accounting and financial compliance activities across all entities, coordinating with external advisors and auditors.
• M&A Integration: Financial due diligence support (QoE, working capital, opening balance sheets), purchase accounting (ASC 805), and accelerated post-close integration — chart-of-accounts mapping, policy harmonization, and consolidation of acquired entities.
• NetSuite: Finance workstream leadership post-go-live — GL structure, multi-entity consolidation, workflow configuration, data reconciliation, documented close procedures, and team adoption.
• Fixed Assets: Selection and implementation of a dedicated fixed asset system integrated with NetSuite; migration of the asset register (equipment, vehicles, fueling infrastructure) and depreciation/capitalization policy administration (ASC 360/842).
• Audit & Transactions: Primary day-to-day owner of the annual audit — PBC lists, schedules, and auditor management to a tight timeline — plus technical memos and support for financing, lender, and sponsor requests; primary contact for bank and customer audits.
• Taxes: Lead responsibility for tax compliance and audit matters — managing state taxing authority interactions and external providers across income, fuel, sales, and property tax filings.
• AP & P-Card: Leadership of the AP team and administration of the P-Card program across all entities, including exception/fraud monitoring, DPO discipline, and process efficiency across a multi-basin footprint.
• Team & Controls: Development of accounting staff and continuous strengthening of the internal control environment as the organization scales.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 8–12+ years of progressive accounting experience including prior experience as a sitting Controller (not Assistant Controller or Manager level)
• Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred; public accounting experience highly preferred
• PE portfolio company experience strongly preferred — sponsor reporting, covenant compliance, audit ownership
• Hands-on ERP implementation experience required; NetSuite strongly preferred
• M&A integration and purchase accounting (ASC 805) experience in a multi-entity consolidation environment
• Fixed asset system implementation or administration experience
• Multi-state tax compliance exposure (income, fuel, sales, property) and experience managing external tax providers
• Commercial judgment and operational fluency — comfortable engaging directly with operations, customers, vendors, and deal teams, and translating the business into sound reporting
• Advanced Excel; energy, oilfield services, logistics, or multi-site operating experience preferred
• Leadership presence — sets the pace, holds the team accountable, drives initiatives to completion without heavy oversight

WHY ROLFSON

• Build financial infrastructure at scale inside a fast-growing, PE-backed platform
• Direct exposure to sponsor reporting, live M&A, and enterprise systems transformation
• Competitive base and performance bonus, comprehensive benefits (medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with match, PTO)
