Job summary

Jobot is seeking a hands-on Controller in the Boston area to lead the accounting function and partner with leadership on the financial strategy. The role demands ownership of the month-end close, budgeting, forecasting, and a close collaboration with operations to drive profitability.

The ideal candidate will manage a lean accounting team, oversee AP/AR/payroll, and guide critical decisions with accurate financial insights.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• CPA preferred.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience.
• Experience with an ERP such as Epicor, NetSuite, Sage, or Dynamics.

• Own the numbers. Lead the month-end and year-end close and deliver clear, accurate financials to the CFO and ownership.
• Lead a lean accounting team. Oversee AP, AR, and payroll while staying close enough to the details to jump in when needed.

• Know where the money is going. Oversee cost accounting, inventory valuation, and margin analysis, with a focus on profitability by product line and customer.
• Be the face of the audit. Manage the annual audit and partner directly with the outside CPA firm to keep everything moving.
• Keep the business financially buttoned up. Oversee internal controls, audit readiness, lender reporting, and debt covenant compliance.
• Partner with the business, not just Finance. Work closely with operations and leadership to understand what’s driving margins, costs, and overall performance.
