Senior Controller - Multi-Entity Growth Leader

SXSE Enterprises; San Juan (PR); On-site; Full time

Job description

We’re looking for a Controller who wants to build.

SXSE is the financial and legal backbone for a family of operating companies spanning retail, manufacturing and transportation operations, real estate development, construction management, software development and additional consulting and professional services across multiple U.S. states and Puerto Rico. We need the person who will own the financial infrastructure that supports a complex, high-growth portfolio.

Your job is to take ownership of all of it — the monthly close, consolidation, AP/AR, treasury and cash management, audit preparation, and team development — and turn it into a department that operates with accuracy, speed, and independence.

This is a rare opportunity to serve as the most senior internal finance leader for a portfolio scaling from $40M to $80M+ in revenue, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The role requires periodic travel to the mainland U.S. for close cycles, audits, and executive planning sessions.

What You’ll Own

Month-End Close & Consolidation

You own the full close cycle across a complex multi-entity portfolio spanning multiple jurisdictions. You’ll build and maintain the close calendar, assign tasks to your team, review journal entries and reconciliations, prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and drive the close timeline down to a predictable cadence. Intercompany eliminations, entity-level reporting, and consolidation accuracy are your responsibility.

Treasury & Cash Management

You will manage the company’s cash position across all entities — daily cash positioning, payment prioritization, bank account management, and weekly cash reporting to executive leadership. You’ll work closely with the CEO and external advisory team on cash forecasting, liquidity planning, and debt service management. This is a top-three priority for the role.

AP/AR & Revenue Operations

You’ll oversee accounts payable and receivable workflows, including management of an offshore AP processing team based in Latin America. You’ll build controls around invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and payment execution. On the AR side, you’ll establish billing processes for a growing real estate and services portfolio.

Internal Controls, Audit Readiness & Compliance

You’ll design and implement the internal control environment — segregation of duties, approval authorities, documentation standards, and accounting policies. You’ll coordinate with external auditors and ensure the organization is audit-ready at all times. Multi-jurisdiction compliance (including Puerto Rico Act 60 export services requirements) is part of the landscape.

You’ll directly manage multiple U.S.-based staff accountants and an offshore processing team across multiple time zones. Your working day will overlap meaningfully with both the Colombia-based offshore team and U.S. mainland operations. You are responsible for work quality, professional development, and daily task management across your team.

Financial Reporting & Lender Compliance

You’ll support the preparation of monthly and quarterly financial reporting packages for lenders and ownership, including covenant compliance calculations. You’ll partner with the external advisory team during the transition period and eventually own this process as internal leadership matures.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with significant multi-entity or multi-jurisdictional operations exposure
• Demonstrated experience managing a full monthly close cycle across multiple entities, including consolidation and intercompany eliminations
• Hands-on treasury and cash management experience — daily cash positioning, payment prioritization, and liquidity reporting
• Strong US GAAP knowledge, including comfort with lease accounting (ASC 842), revenue recognition, and multi-entity consolidation
• Proficiency with QuickBooks Online at an enterprise level or comparable accounting platforms (Intacct, NetSuite, Xero)
• Experience managing and developing accounting staff, including remote and offshore teams
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

Strongly Preferred:

• Active CPA license (US) or equivalent professional certification
• Experience with Puerto Rico tax requirements, Act 60 compliance, and export services reporting
• Experience in highly regulated industries — hospitality, financial services, or similar
• Experience building accounting functions from early-stage or post-restructure environments
• Advanced Excel proficiency; familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) a plus

Who Thrives in This Role

You’re a builder, not a caretaker. You’ve been the person who walked into a messy situation and made it work — not by complaining about what was broken, but by designing the fix and executing it. You’re comfortable being the most senior finance person in the room and making judgment calls without waiting for permission. You hold yourself to a high standard and you hold your team to the same.

You thrive managing across time zones and cultures. You understand that leading an offshore team requires clear processes, documented expectations, and consistent follow-through. You see the Puerto Rico location as a strategic advantage — close time zone alignment with Latin American teams, direct access to executive leadership, and the personal benefits of island life.

Growth Path

This role has a clear trajectory. As the finance organization matures, a VP of Finance will be hired to own strategic financial leadership, treasury, and capital markets. The Controller who demonstrates the ability to build and lead a high-performing accounting operation will be a leading candidate for expanded scope, including consideration for the VP role itself.

• Base salary: $150,000 – $200,000, commensurate with experience
• Periodic travel to United States for close cycles, audits, and planning sessions (company-funded)
• Direct executive access and meaningful impact on company trajectory
