District Controller

Coastal Waste & Recycling is growing, and we’re looking for a District Controller who wants to be more than the person who reports the numbers.

This role is a true finance business partner to Operations. You’ll work closely with the District Manager and local leadership team to understand what is driving performance, identify opportunities, challenge the business when needed, and help turn financial data into better operational decisions.

If you enjoy being close to the business, digging into the why behind the numbers, and helping leaders improve performance, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Partner directly with district and operational leadership on financial performance and business decisions
• Own district-level P&L analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and variance reporting
• Analyze key operational drivers including revenue, labor, overtime, route profitability, disposal expense, fleet costs, and other operating expenses
• Lead monthly financial reviews and translate results into clear, actionable recommendations
• Identify cost-saving opportunities, productivity improvements, and areas of financial risk
• Support capital expenditure analysis, pricing decisions, and customer profitability reviews
• Partner with Accounting on month-end close, reconciliations, reporting, and internal controls
• Support acquisitions, integrations, new contracts, and other growth initiatives
• Help operational leaders understand financial information without making them feel like they need an accounting degree to do it

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field
• 5+ years of progressive accounting, finance, or financial-analysis experience
• Strong experience with budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial reporting
• Ability to connect financial results to what is actually happening operationally
• Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with non-finance leaders
• Someone who is analytical, curious, accountable, and willing to challenge the status quo
• Strong Excel and financial-analysis skills
• Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, growing organization

Nice to Have

CPA or MBA, experience in waste, logistics, transportation, fleet-intensive operations, construction, or another multi-location operating environment, and experience with acquisitions or integrations are all a plus.

Why Coastal?

Coastal Waste & Recycling is a rapidly growing company with an entrepreneurial mindset. We’re continuing to build and improve how we operate, which means this is an opportunity to have a real voice in the business rather than simply inherit a finished playbook.
