Are you the kind of controller who sets the financial strategy in the morning and closes the books yourself in the afternoon? This is a rare opportunity for a working controller who wants true ownership. You’ll lead the financial strategy of a growing home services company while personally doing the work that keeps it running, from the month end close to cash forecasting to acquisition integrations. There is no layer between you and the numbers, and no ceiling on what you can build here. As the business grows, you’ll have the opportunity to build out your own team, shaping the finance function from the ground up. Your role and your earnings grow right along with the company, with uncapped earning potential that rewards the results you deliver. You’ll also be part of a larger private equity backed portfolio, where top performing controllers earn the opportunity to work at the private equity level, opening doors to broader responsibility and future career growth.

• Own the month end close from start to finish using the company close checklist, delivering accurate financials on time to the General Manager.
