Controller

Confidential opportunity | High-growth environment | Direct CFO exposure

Are you an experienced accounting professional looking for a role where you can move beyond traditional reporting and take meaningful ownership of a finance function?

We’re looking for a Financial Controller to join a growing organization and work directly with the CFO. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with broad exposure across financial reporting, technical accounting, acquisition integration, compliance, planning and process improvement.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to help integrate a newly acquired business before progressively taking ownership of the broader financial controlling and planning function.

What you'll be doing

Acquisition & integration

• Lead finance-related activities associated with the integration of a newly acquired entity
• Support migration of financial data, chart of accounts, fixed assets and other accounting structures
• Partner with the acquired business and CFO throughout the integration
• Support purchase price allocation and other acquisition-related accounting activities
• Own and improve the month-end close process across multiple entities and currencies
• Review financial results, reconciliations, intercompany balances and transfer pricing
• Prepare variance analysis, management commentary and executive/Board reporting
• Ensure financial statements and supporting schedules are accurate and complete

Technical accounting & compliance

• Lead or coordinate external audits and statutory reporting
• Partner with tax and accounting advisors on compliance requirements
• Apply US GAAP to complex accounting matters, including leases, consolidation, foreign currency and acquisitions
• Identify and resolve accounting, tax and reporting issues

Planning & process improvement

• Support and progressively take ownership of budgeting and forecasting
• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline finance processes
• Leverage tools such as Excel, Power Query, accounting-system functionality, AI and third-party technology
• Contribute to broader finance initiatives including project accounting, transfer pricing and currency-related projects

What we're looking for

• 8–10 years of progressive accounting experience , ideally combining public accounting and industry experience
• Experience in financial controlling, financial reporting or a similar corporate finance function
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP
• Experience with consolidation, lease accounting and business combinations/acquisition accounting
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to work independently while partnering effectively with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
• A genuine interest in process improvement, automation and leveraging technology

Why consider this opportunity?

This is more than a traditional controllership role. You'll have direct exposure to the CFO, immediate involvement in an acquisition, and the opportunity to shape and ultimately own a broad financial controlling and planning function .

It's an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys technical accounting but also wants greater ownership, visibility and influence within an organization.

If you're ready for a role where you can make an immediate impact and build something for the long term, we'd love to hear from you.
