Controller

Location: Columbus, Ohio

Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on, experienced Controller to lead and strengthen our accounting and financial operations. This is an ideal opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys being directly involved in the numbers while also providing leadership and guidance to a growing team.

This position is not designed for someone who wants to operate solely at an executive or advisory level. We are looking for a doer and a thinker who can prepare and review accounting entries, develop financial statements, analyze cash flow, improve processes, and ensure the organization maintains accurate and compliant financial records.

The successful candidate will provide accounting leadership to an existing team responsible for billing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and transactional accounting.

The Controller will bring the technical accounting expertise needed to guide that team, improve reporting, and build a stronger financial infrastructure as the organization continues to grow.

For someone who wants to grow beyond the Controller level in the future, this position offers meaningful exposure to leadership and the opportunity to develop toward a C-suite financial role as the company expands.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee daily accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, payroll, cash management, and reconciliations.

• Monitor cash flow and give leadership clear visibility into the company's financial position.
• Provide technical accounting guidance to team members handling billing, payables, receivables, and entries.
• Help ensure compliance with sales tax, tax exemption, and other accounting requirements.
• Assist with tax-exempt certificates and related compliance documentation.
• Analyze financial performance and identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Present financial results and recommendations to executives.
• Prepare month-end and year-end reporting packages.
• Ensure compliance with GAAP and applicable financial regulations.
• Coordinate annual reviews, audits, and tax requests with external CPA firms.
• Monitor compliance with company financial policies and controls.
• Establish departmental goals and performance standards.
• Assist with annual budgeting and forecasting processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.

• Strong knowledge of GAAP.
• Experience with accounting software and ERP systems.
• Experience preparing complete financial statements.

Preferred:

• CPA designation.
• Experience within logistics, transportation, warehousing, staffing, construction, facilities services, or related industries.
• Experience supporting organizations with annual revenues of $10M-$50M.
• Experience developing financial dashboards and profitability reporting.
