We're looking for a Controller to own the company's reporting function — the person responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of the financial close, reporting, and internal controls as the business scales. This is a hands-on role with direct visibility to the CFO and regular exposure to the PE sponsor's finance team, ideal for someone who wants to build and professionalize a reporting function rather than simply maintain one already in place.

• Prepare board- and sponsor-ready financial reporting packages, including variance analysis and KPI reporting.
• Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management.
• Coordinate the annual audit and manage relationships with external auditors and tax advisors.
• Support due diligence and integration accounting for add-on acquisitions as the platform grows.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA a plus
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience at the Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior Accounting Manager level.
• Experience in a private equity-backed or portfolio company environment a must have
• Experience with M&A integration accounting is a plus
• Proven ability to build and improve processes and controls in a scaling organization.
