Reporting to the VP of Finance, the Controller will oversee the day-to-day accounting function, including the general ledger, financial reporting, month-end and year-end close, reconciliations, accounting controls, and accounting team development.

• Prepare and/or oversee financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, and supporting schedules.
• Own the balance sheet reconciliation process, ensuring accounts are properly supported and discrepancies are resolved.
• Review journal entries, accruals, deferrals, allocations, and other significant accounting transactions.
• Develop, document, and maintain accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
• Identify process gaps and implement improvements that increase accuracy, efficiency, and accountability.
• Provide oversight of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, cash management, and collections.
• Monitor AR aging and support efforts to improve cash flow and collections.
• Help optimize our ERP and accounting systems, with NetSuite experience strongly preferred.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and eliminate unnecessary spreadsheets and duplicate work.
• Establish standardized workflows and documentation across the accounting function.
• Lead, coach, and develop accounting team members while establishing clear expectations and accountability.
• Coordinate with external CPAs, auditors, banks, insurance providers, and other financial partners.
• Support tax preparation, audits, reviews, budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and other financial initiatives.
• Partner with the VP of Finance and leadership team to identify trends, financial risks, and opportunities.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience.
• Previous supervisory or accounting team leadership experience.
• Strong experience with general ledger accounting, month-end/year-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
• Demonstrated experience developing and implementing accounting controls, policies, and procedures.
• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and accrual accounting.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong proficiency with accounting and financial reporting systems.
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify issues and develop practical solutions.
• Ability to lead a team, establish accountability, and maintain high standards for accuracy and timeliness.

• NetSuite or comparable ERP experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with an ERP implementation, upgrade, or system conversion.
• Experience working in a growing or multi-entity organization.
• Experience in manufacturing, construction, home improvement, or another operationally complex industry.
• Experience with job costing, inventory, revenue recognition, or project-based accounting.

This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact accounting leadership position where you can help shape the systems, processes, and standards that support a growing organization.

We are looking for someone who wants more than simply maintaining the books. The right person will have the opportunity to build structure, improve processes, develop a team, strengthen financial controls, and directly support the company's continued growth.
