ProPivotal works with growing companies across Greater Boston that consistently need sharp Controllers -- and we want to hear from you before the next great role goes live. If you're a hands-on Controller who can own the close, lead a small team, and partner with leadership, this is your lane.

• Seat at the table. Controllers we place work directly with CFOs, CEOs, and ownership groups -- your voice shapes decisions, not just reports.
• Variety of industries. From professional services to manufacturing to tech-adjacent businesses -- we match you to environments where your background fits naturally.
• Fast process. ProPivotal moves quickly. Apply today, talk to a recruiter this week, and get in front of the right opportunity before it fills.

What we're typically looking for:

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time in a Controller or Assistant Controller role
• Strong technical foundation -- GAAP, month-end close, financial reporting, and ideally some experience managing or mentoring staff
• CPA or equivalent experience preferred; ERP proficiency (NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks, or similar) expected
