Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Controller / Shared Services Lead to oversee our financial operations and help strengthen the systems that support our growing business.

This role is responsible for owning the accuracy of our financials while improving the processes and systems behind them.

We have a solid foundation in place. Your role is to tighten, improve, and build where needed.

What You'll Own

Financial Operations

• Manage monthly close and ensure timely, accurate financial reporting
• Maintain GAAP-compliant financials across multiple entities
• Oversee general ledger, reconciliations, and account integrity
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow visibility
• Assist with audit readiness and financial organization

Shared Services Oversight

• Support and improve processes across:
  • Payroll
  • Benefits administration
  • HR coordination
  • Insurance and compliance
• Help bring consistency and structure across these functions

Systems & Process Improvement

What Success Looks Like

• Monthly financials are accurate, consistent, and delivered on time
• Reporting is clear and trusted across the organization
• Core processes (payroll, reporting, close) run smoothly without friction
• Systems are being improved, not worked around

Who This Role Is For

You are:

• Detail-oriented and take ownership of your work
• Comfortable working in a growing, evolving environment

• Willing to step in where needed and solve problems
• Practical, organized, and accountable

Who This Role Is NOT For

• Experience with multi-entity or growing businesses is a plus
• Familiarity with ERP systems (Business Central preferred)
• Understanding of basic cost accounting and financial controls

Final Note

This is a hands-on role with real ownership.

You won't be asked to build everything from scratch, but you will be expected to improve what exists and take responsibility for making it better.
