Job description

I’m partnering confidentially with a privately held, founder and family-owned transportation and logistics company based in Fort Worth seeking a Controller.

This organization generates approximately $200M in annual revenue and operates with a long-term, owner-operator mindset. There is no private equity pressure and no public market noise.

Decisions are practical, and the business is known for strong operational execution and financial discipline.

This is a key leadership role reporting directly to the CFO and owning the accounting function for a growing, asset-intensive platform.

Why This Role Stands Out

• True right-hand partnership with the CFO
• Stable, founder-led ownership with long-term focus
• Operationally complex, asset-intensive environment
• Opportunity to elevate processes, controls, and reporting infrastructure
• Full-time, in-office leadership environment with flexibility

The Opportunity

The Controller will lead the accounting operations of the company and ensure scalable, GAAP-compliant financial processes aligned with continued growth.

• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations and team workflows
• Maintain documented policies, procedures, and internal controls
• Oversee subsidiary accounting and transaction control environments
• Manage outsourced accounting and third-party relationships
• Deliver timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Develop financial and operating KPIs
• Analyze budget-to-actual variances and communicate insights to leadership
• Prepare cost reporting and financial analyses to support operational decision-making
• Lead cash management and risk oversight
• Monitor debt levels and ensure compliance with lender covenants
• Support capital investment analysis and pricing decisions
• Coordinate annual audit and serve as primary liaison with external auditors
• Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal reporting requirements

Ideal Background

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Experience owning close, reporting, and audit relationships
• Background in asset-intensive or operationally complex environments preferred
• Prior Controller or Assistant Controller experience is a plus
• Exposure to transportation, logistics, energy services, or similar industries is beneficial

This role requires a hands-on leader who can operate in a fast-paced environment, meet deadlines, and communicate clearly with both finance and operational leadership.

Compensation

If you are a Controller or senior accounting leader seeking a stable platform, direct CFO visibility, and long-term growth within a founder-led business, this is a high-quality opportunity worth exploring.
