Job description

VP / Controller — Senior Finance Leadership

One of the country's largest and fastest-growing specialty finance platforms

Salary: $160,000 - $180,000 / year + Bonus

Location: Sherman Oaks, CA

Benefits: This role is eligible for medical, dental, vision 401k, PTO, HSA life and disability insurance.

We are seeking a VP/Controller to serve as a key financial architect for one of the most dynamic financial services/lenders in the country. This is a very stable and fast growing organization.

Reporting directly to the Executive Team, the VP/Controller will lead all aspects of financial reporting, forecasting, and controls, including SOX compliance, audit-ready accounting, and US GAAP guidance with a focus on fair value loan and debt accounting. This leader will oversee the full accounting function — A/P, A/R, month-end close, and the loan funding process — while driving automation initiatives and owning the financial systems roadmap. The role also includes responsibility for both SEC and internal management reporting, annual budgeting in partnership with Strategy & Analytics, and contributing to investor materials. All while working a 40 hour week.

The ideal candidate is a CPA with 8+ years of accounting leadership experience in financial services, strong SEC and SOX credentials, and the disposition of a builder — someone who wants to scale infrastructure, develop talent, and think like an operator. Experience in lending, real estate, or mortgage finance is highly preferred. This is a fast-moving search targeting a late-June start, with a streamlined three-round interview process.
