We have been engaged in a search for a newly created Divisional Controller role for a growing, PE-backed services organization with over a billion in revenue. This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who wants to own the entire accounting function
, build processes from the ground up, and grow a team over time.

This role is ideal for a senior accounting professional who thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and is comfortable being both strategic and execution-focused
.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Full ownership: You will be responsible for accounting “soup to nuts” — from daily operations through close, reporting, and controls.
• Build phase opportunity: Establish systems, policies, and processes from scratch, then scale as the business grows.
• High visibility: Regular interaction with senior leadership and involvement in executive-level reporting.
• Career-defining scope: Operates like a mini controller function with meaningful autonomy and influence.
• Strong backing: Financially stable platform with leadership committed to investing in people and infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the monthly close process and general ledger.
• Oversee AP, AR, cash management
  , and reconciliations; stay hands‑on as needed.
• Develop and document GAAP‑compliant accounting policies and procedures
  .
• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting for leadership.
• Partner cross‑functionally on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
• Coordinate audits and ensure regulatory and compliance requirements are met.
• Design and implement internal controls and scalable workflows.
• Hire, mentor, and lead a small accounting team as the function matures.

Background We’re Targeting

• 10–15 years of progressive accounting experience (up to ~20 years considered).
• Deep experience owning the full close cycle and general ledger
  .
• Proven success in lean, build‑from‑scratch, or high‑growth environments
  .
• Flexible, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves mentality with strong follow‑through.
• Executive presence and ability to communicate clearly with non‑finance leaders.
• CPA preferred but not required.

Logistics

• Remote with occasional travel.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Long‑term growth potential as the business scales.
