Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Controller to support accounting and financial operations across multiple locations within a growing New England division.

This is an exciting opportunity for an accounting professional who is ready to take on broader responsibility and continue growing their career. You do not need to be a long-tenured Controller to be successful in this position. We are open to candidates coming from an Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, Senior Accounting, public accounting, or similar background who have strong month-end close experience and are ready for the next step.

Working closely with the Divisional CFO, this individual will ultimately take ownership of the monthly close and financial reporting process for three locations while gaining significant exposure to regional finance operations, recently acquired businesses, and senior leadership.

What You'll Do

• Lead monthly close activities across multiple locations, ultimately owning three monthly closes
• Maintain the general ledger and ensure accurate, timely financial reporting
• Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, depreciation, and other period-end activities
• Investigate financial discrepancies, unusual variances, and balance sheet issues
• Prepare financial statements, management reports, forecasts, budgets, and financial analysis
• Partner with operational leaders to understand business performance and provide meaningful financial insights
• Support cash management, banking activities, check runs, AP/AR oversight, and other financial administration
• Strengthen accounting processes, internal controls, reporting consistency, and overall efficiency
• Support internal and external audits and applicable tax reporting
• Help integrate accounting processes and financial reporting for recently acquired businesses
• Build strong relationships across finance, operations, commercial teams, and leadership
• Identify opportunities to improve processes through technology, automation, and new tools

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field
• Strong experience with month-end close, general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Strong Excel and analytical skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities
• Willingness to be hands-on and take ownership of day-to-day accounting responsibilities
• Curious, adaptable, and comfortable learning new systems, technology, and tools
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to travel periodically to other locations within the New England region

Why This Opportunity?

This role offers significant growth and exposure for someone who wants to expand beyond traditional accounting responsibilities. You'll work closely with senior finance leadership, gain experience across multiple businesses and locations, and play an important role in supporting the continued growth and integration of the region.

The team is lean, collaborative, and growing, creating an opportunity to take on meaningful responsibility from day one while developing toward broader regional finance leadership opportunities over time.
