Description

The Controller owns the accounting function end to end and serves as the Company’s senior accounting leader. This is a hands-on role within a lean team. Responsibilities span a monthly close across multiple entities in two currencies, US GAAP reporting and consolidation, the books of the foreign subsidiary maintained in local currency, annual audit, payroll, and US federal and multi-state tax compliance. The Controller also leads the Company’s billing and accounts payable cycles and drives process, systems, and control improvements across the organization.

The Controller reports to the SVP, Finance and leads a team of four across accounting and billing: a Senior Accountant, Staff Accountant, Billing Specialist, and a part-time Bookkeeper. The role interacts directly with the executive leadership team, business leaders, external auditors, tax advisors, lenders, and the Company’s private equity sponsor.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting Close:

• Own and manage the monthly close, a five-business-day hard close across five entities, including review of journal entries, account reconciliations, and fluctuation analysis, supporting internal distribution of the monthly reporting package.
• Own multi-entity consolidation, intercompany accounting and eliminations, and foreign currency translation for a foreign subsidiary.
• Coordinate and oversee annual external audits: the consolidated US GAAP audit and the Company’s 401(k) plan audit.
• Oversee accounts payable and lead the customer billing function, covering approximately 400 monthly invoices across three product lines, including billing accuracy, contract-to-billing setup, cash application, and collections.
• Own the internal control environment, including segregation of duties across the accounting and payroll cycles.

Technical Accounting

• Serve as the Company’s technical accounting lead — researching, documenting and defending positions, and engaging third-party specialists where additional depth is warranted, related to:
• ASC 606 revenue recognition for multi-element software, implementation, and services arrangements, including performance obligation identification, standalone selling price allocation, contract modifications, and deferred revenue
• ASC 350-40 capitalization of internal-use software development costs, including engineering time capture and amortization
• Stay informed about industry trends, regulations, and new accounting rules.

International Operations

• Maintain the books of the foreign subsidiary in local currency for statutory and local tax purposes, in addition to US GAAP reporting for consolidation.
• Serve as the Company’s counterpart to the foreign tax firm, preparing and providing all information required for local filings.
• Review and approve foreign payroll.

Payroll

• Process US payroll across multiple states and review payroll registers and change reports each cycle.

Analytics and Reporting

• Support the SVP, Finance and Director of FP&A during the budgeting process and assist with trend analysis, including participation in management meetings to review results.
• Act as champion for data standardization and governance.

Compliance

• Ensure compliance with local, state and federal government requirements.
• Prepare and provide the annual income tax packages for the external tax advisor covering US federal and multiple state jurisdictions and coordinate estimated payments.
• Own sales and non-income tax compliance across multiple states, including administration of the Company’s Avalara integration with NetSuite.
• Support private equity sponsor reporting and lender compliance reporting requirements.

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a team of four spanning technical accounting, transaction processing and billing, clarify roles and responsibilities, and build documented cross-coverage so that no recurring obligation depends on a single person.
• Create and promote a positive and supportive work environment.

Process And Systems

• Serve as the accounting owner of NetSuite configuration, process design and automation, including planned business intelligence and reporting initiatives.
• Understand, develop, and document appropriate accounting policies and procedures.
• Drive audit and diligence readiness as the business grows.

• Hands-on ERP experience and advanced Excel skills
• Experience with multi-entity consolidation and a foreign subsidiary, including foreign currency translation
• Experience leading a small team across both professional accounting and transactional roles, in a hands-on environment where the leader both prepares and reviews
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex financial information to non-financial stakeholders
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think strategically and provide actionable insights
• Ability to operate in a lean, private equity-backed environment with a defined reporting cadence and direct exposure to the sponsor, lenders, and auditors
• Proven ability to meet deadlines and manage competing obligations
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• Minimum of ten years of progressive accounting experience, including at least three years owning a monthly close end to end
