Senior Controller

EXECUTIVE Management AVENTURA, FL, US

2 days ago Requisition ID: 1352

Salary Range: $150,000.00 To $200,000.00 Annually

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• Demonstrated ability to lead budgeting, reporting, and financial close cycles at scale.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (complex formulas, modeling) and NetSuite or comparable ERP systems.
• Proven people leadership — experience hiring, coaching, and growing an accounting team.
• Project management skill and the presence to run cross-functional meetings and drive alignment.
• A bias for ownership: someone who builds trust and commands respect quickly, treats problems as theirs to solve, and operates with urgency in ambiguity.
• Comfort operating without a playbook — willing to build the process from zero when one doesn't exist yet.

10X Total Rewards

We offer a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees that includes:

• Medical, dental, and vision for employees and their dependents
• Paid Time Off policy that increases based on tenure with the company
• Employee Assistance Program through Mutual of Omaha
• 401k with company match
• Pet Insurance through MetLife for your 10X pets
• Company-paid employee wellness initiatives through BeyondMed
