Job description

Controller Opportunity (SaaS | NetSuite)

No Overtime — $110-135k + Best in Market Benefits

We’re partnering with a stable, founder‑led, privately held SaaS company in the Nashville area to hire a Controller for a well‑run, established accounting organization.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Clean books, clean reconciliations – no historical cleanup required
• No fire‑drill closes or unrealistic deadlines
• Tenured, tight‑knit, high‑performing team
• High transaction volume handled efficiently
• Leadership invested in process improvement and fully leveraging systems
• Privately held (~$10M+), profitable, stable, and growing at a healthy pace

Role Overview

• Own and lead full‑cycle accounting
• Manage and develop:
  
  • Senior Accountant
• Serve as the internal owner of NetSuite
• Partner closely with Finance and Billing in a scalable, tech‑enabled environment
• Focus on optimization, controls, and continuous improvement – not cleanup

Technology

• NetSuite (ERP owner)

Ideal Background

• 7+ years of accounting experience
• 2+ years in accounting leadership/management
• Strong systems aptitude; enjoys process improvement and troubleshooting
• Steady and experienced professional with solid tenure
• CPA, public accounting, and/or SaaS experience a plus (not required)

Who This Is Best For

• Someone seeking stability, predictability, flexibility, and true work‑life balance
• A strong accounting leader who values a healthy pace and long‑term seat
• Not ideal for someone expecting rapid or guaranteed upward promotion in the near term

Benefits & Flexibility

• 100% employer‑paid medical, dental, and vision
• 12 weeks paid parental leave with flexible return‑to‑work options
• 401(k) with employer match
• Casual, people‑first culture with excellent retention

Seniority Level
