The Role

Complete Venture Group is seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Finance Controller to lead and manage the company’s financial operations, including accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash management, and financial planning.

This role is ideal for a strong Controller who has already begun operating strategically and is looking to continue growing into a broader VP of Finance capacity over time. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to the business operations — not just overseeing the numbers, but remaining hands-on in the financial and accounting work while helping leadership make practical, data-informed decisions that support sustainable company growth, operational efficiency, and long-term financial health.

The ideal candidate thrives in a growing and evolving business environment, is comfortable building, improving, and scaling processes and systems, and prefers a collaborative and proactive approach.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Management & Reporting

• Lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, including personally executing key accounting and close responsibilities as needed, while ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting aligned with GAAP standards.
• Prepare financial reports, performance metrics, and operational insights for leadership review and decision-making.
• Strengthen and maintain financial controls, accounting processes, and reporting procedures.
• Coordinate with external auditors, tax partners, and regulatory entities to support compliance requirements.
  
  

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Planning

• Lead company budgeting and forecasting initiatives in partnership with department leaders.
• Provide ongoing forecast updates, financial analysis, and variance reporting to monitor business performance.
• Support financial planning, scenario analysis, and operational modeling for business initiatives and growth opportunities.
  
  

Operational & Strategic Finance

• Partner closely with leadership to evaluate pricing strategies, profitability, operational performance, and financial efficiency across the business.
• Develop practical financial models and analyses to support decision-making related to investments, operational improvements, and business growth.
• Identify opportunities to improve financial systems, reporting workflows, automation, and overall scalability.
  
  

Cash Flow & Risk Management

• Oversee cash flow management, working capital planning, and overall financial health of the organization.
• Monitor financial and operational risks while supporting appropriate controls, coverage, and mitigation strategies.
  
  

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, mentor, cultivate, and develop accounting and finance team members through coaching and process improvement.
• Drive the accounting and finance team toward company objectives, ensuring accountability and strong execution.
• Help build a scalable, collaborative, and high-performing finance function as the company continues to grow.
  
  

Soft Skills

• Strategic and forward-thinking leader with strong business acumen.
• High attention to detail with a strong sense of integrity, accountability, and ownership.
• Effective communicator with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Hands-on and adaptable, with the ability to operate effectively in a growing organization where processes, systems, and priorities continue to evolve.
