Job description

Controller - $115,000 to $135,000 plus bonus

Unique Controller opportunity at a small, growing privately held company in the Lansdale / Hatfield area. This position is open based on the upcoming retirement of the incumbent and will report to the company's CFO (who - himself - expects to retire from the CFO role in the next year or two).

The exciting part of this search is the opportunity to learn from and ultimately succeed the CFO when he retires.

This "jack of all trades" small company Controller role will be responsible for accounting operations, financial reporting, financial systems, strategic project support, budgeting and forecasting, managing the company's treasury function and developing / enhancing controls to mitigate risk.

Our client seeks a candidate with a Bachelor's Degree and a minimum of 8 years of experience. While our client prefers a CPA, CMA or MBA, they are not required. Ideally, the candidate will have experience working as an Accounting Manager / Controller / Finance Manager within a growing privately held company (ideally 35 - 100 employees). Our client is open to industry background but would prefer candidates with financial services, insurance or professional services industry experience (again - preferably within a company that has less than 100 employees).

This is an in-office role with WFH flexibility.
