Controller

Our client is a fast-growing, private equity-backed company with multiple locations across several states. Family-built over generations, it now grows through acquisitions as well as organically.

The Controller owns the accounting function and team, reports to the CFO, and has a real voice at the leadership table. This is a hands-on seat with room to build and scale the team as the company grows.
