Job description

Collaborative Strategies is partnering with Roeslein & Associates on the search for an Enterprise Controller. Roeslein is a St. Louis–based, employee-owned global engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction company delivering complex industrial and energy infrastructure projects worldwide. Known for its modular engineering and execution model, Roeslein partners with customers to design and deliver large-scale systems focused on efficiency, innovation, and operational excellence.

This is a high-impact accounting leadership role within a growing, multi-entity global organization. As Roeslein continues to expand across geographies, business lines, and operating models, the company is strengthening its finance and accounting structure to support greater scale, consistency, accountability, and institutional readiness.

Reporting to the CFO, the Enterprise Controller will serve as the primary leader responsible for Roeslein’s accounting function across multiple entities. The role will also partner closely with financial reporting, FP&A, operations, treasury, tax, IT, and business leadership to improve financial visibility, reporting discipline, controls, and decision support across the enterprise.

This is not a narrow corporate accounting role. Successful candidates will bring structure without bureaucracy, elevate accounting discipline without slowing the business, and partner with leaders across the organization to create an accounting function built for Roeslein’s future.

Enterprise Accounting Operations

Lead the accounting operating model across Roeslein’s corporate and subsidiary entities, ensuring consistent accounting practices, clear ownership, and reliable execution across the organization. Oversee core accounting functions including general ledger, AP, AR, payroll accounting oversight, project accounting, cost-to-complete accounting, intercompany reconciliations, and accounting operations supporting multiple business units and P&Ls.

Close Process, Controls & Consolidation Discipline

Own and improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes across Roeslein’s operating entities. Establish close calendars, accountability standards, reconciliation discipline, documentation expectations, and reporting timelines that improve accuracy, consistency, and speed. Strengthen consolidation processes, internal controls, and reporting discipline to reduce variability in financial results and improve enterprise-wide visibility.

Multi-Entity, International & Global Accounting Leadership

Provide leadership across a multi-entity environment that includes domestic and international operations. Improve coordination among accounting leaders, local finance teams, and external accounting resources to create a more unified enterprise accounting structure. Support consistency in accounting practices across geographies while recognizing the practical realities of local statutory, tax, and operating requirements.

Project Accounting & Operational Partnership

Strengthen project accounting discipline and improve the connection between accounting outcomes and operating performance. Partner with operations and project management to improve cost-to-complete processes, project reporting, margin visibility, and financial accountability across project-based work.

Financial Systems, Technology & Process Improvement

Bring a strong systems orientation to the accounting function. Partner with IT and operations to improve financial systems, ERP workflows, reporting tools, data consistency, and process automation. Support Oracle implementation efforts and help ensure accounting processes are designed to scale with the business. Identify legacy workflow challenges, standardize processes where appropriate, and build reliable accounting infrastructure that supports faster, cleaner, and more useful reporting.

Tax, Treasury & Cross-Functional Interface

Serve as a key accounting partner to tax, treasury, and executive leadership. Ensure accounting processes support tax compliance, intercompany discipline, statutory reporting needs, cash visibility, audit readiness, and broader enterprise reporting requirements. The role does not need to be the company’s tax leader, but must understand how accounting decisions and intercompany activity interface with tax and treasury requirements.

Leadership, Judgment & Team Development

Lead and develop accounting leaders and teams across corporate and operating-unit functions. Establish clear expectations, decision rights, performance standards, and ownership across the accounting organization. Build leadership capability within accounting teams while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and practical business partnership.

This leader must operate with the highest ethical standards, sound judgment, and discretion. The Enterprise Controller will be trusted with confidential financial, operational, employee, and business information and must model integrity, professionalism, and credibility across the organization.
