Controller
Job Description
Controller | Bradenton, FL | Competitive Salary + Bonus + Full Benefits
Step into the Controller seat at a fast-growing, PE-backed company and join an organization that is in the middle of an exciting growth chapter. This client company has been built on a family-friendly, people-first culture that it has deliberately maintained even as private equity involvement has added structure, discipline, and growth — and the field team that drives the business is treated as exactly that: the heart of the company. As Controller, you will own the accounting function end-to-end, lead a team of billing, AP, and accounting staff, and serve as the primary financial partner to the CEO, Board, and PE investors. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable getting into the details and building the scalable systems that allow the company to operate at the next level. This is a role with real scope and real upside!
Key Responsibilities
- Own the month-end and year-end close processes, including review of account recs, JEs, and financial statements
- Prepare and present financial reporting packages to leadership, BOD, and PE investors
- Analyze financial results, identify trends and risks, and provide actionable insights
- Support annual budgeting process, forecasting, financial modeling, and scenario analysis
- Partner with operations and other functional leaders to improve financial performance, working capital management, and cross-functional accountability
- Maintain strong financial controls and ensure compliance with GAAP and company policies
- Partner with external auditors and other advisors to support annual audit, tax compliance, and more
- Foster a collaborative, internal customer service-oriented culture within the accounting function
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting with a mix of public accounting and industry experience; CPA strongly preferred
- 7–10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including at least 3 years in leadership role
- Strong technical accounting knowledge including GAAP, month end close, internal controls and financial reporting
- Project accounting, job costing, or field service operations experience a big plus
- Hands-on experience with a modern cloud-based ERP system
- Highly detail-oriented
- Internal customer-service minded, collaborative, experience working cross-functionally
Why you'll love working at this company
- Exciting growth of organization with new executive leadership, strong technology infrastructure, private equity-backed
- A people-first culture
- True ownership of your function and the growth of the department
- Flexible scheduling around commute and some work-from-home possibility
- Competitive salary plus discretionary bonus and a quality benefits package, in a nice office environment
