Job description

About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Controller who leads like an owner, not a caretaker. This is not a maintain-the-status-quo role — it's a build-and-scale role. As Senior Controller, you will own the financial engine behind a hyper-growth organization, setting the standard for speed, accuracy, and accountability across every close, every audit, and every dollar that moves through the business. You'll operate as a strategic partner to executive leadership, translate the numbers into decisions, and build a finance function that can support 10X growth — not just report on it. If you think in terms of ownership over excuses, systems over firefighting, and massive action over incrementalism, this is your seat.

If you think in terms of ownership over excuses, systems over firefighting, and massive action over incrementalism, this is your seat.

Responsibilities

Financial Leadership & Reporting

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting cycle end-to-end — reviewing, analyzing, and correcting to guarantee accuracy the first time, not after the fact.
• Set the standard for whether accounting is run on a cash or accrual basis, and drive the roadmap to full GAAP compliance as the business scales.
• Deliver board- and executive-ready reporting that turns financial data into a growth narrative, not just a compliance exercise.

Revenue & Audit Compliance

• Partner cross-functionally to ensure revenue recognition is accurate, timely, and defensible under scrutiny.
• Design audit procedures around how the business actually operates, proactively identifying risk before it becomes a finding.
• Own the external audit relationship and drive it to a clean result — no surprises, no scrambling.

Tax & Regulatory Expertise

• Serve as the internal authority on tax compliance, directing preparation and filing of corporate returns with precision.
• Anticipate regulatory exposure and build controls that keep the company ahead of it, not reacting to it.

Transaction Integrity & Reconciliation

• Own reconciliation of related-party transactions, holding the line on accounting standards without exception.
• Root-cause discrepancies in the financials and drive the fix, not just flag the problem.
• Oversee bank reconciliation across all company accounts with zero tolerance for unexplained variance.

Month-End & Annual Close

• Lead a fast, clean close — entries, reconciliations, and analysis delivered with speed and precision every cycle.
• Translate financial results into a clear, decision-ready summary of company performance each month.

Revenue Collections & Billing Oversight

• Own billing schedules, chargebacks, and refunds, ensuring revenue is recorded and collected accurately and on time.
• Drive collections performance across payment platforms including Stripe, Shopify, and Invoiced.com.
• Ensure refunds and chargebacks are properly adjusted in NetSuite and Invoiced.com to close cycles clean.

Cross-Departmental Leadership

• Partner with FP&A on commission reporting, catching and correcting errors in ecommerce commission structures before they compound.
• Support the Grant Cardone Foundation's accounting, ensuring donations and contributions are properly documented and defensible.
• Own credit card reconciliation completeness and accuracy across the business.
• Recruit, coach, and develop a high-performance accounting team — building bench strength, not just headcount.
• Drive continuous process improvement, replacing manual work with scalable systems as the company grows 10X.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; CPA or CMA strongly preferred.
• 7+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including proven success as a Controller or Senior Controller.
• Track record leading finance functions inside a hyper-growth or private-equity-backed environment — building the plane while flying it.
• Deep command of GAAP and applicable financial regulations, with hands-on experience transitioning a company from cash to accrual accounting.
• Minimum 3 years of revenue recognition experience; strong grasp of audit methodology, risk management, and tax regulation.
• Experience with related-party transactions and multi-entity consolidations.
