The controller would drive month-end, quarter-end and year-end closing and produce financial statements, explanations of variances and KPIs for the CEO. Responsibilities include overseeing the general ledger, postings, account reconciliations and the account structure, and keeping every transaction aligned with GAAP rules. The role also covers payables and vendor terms, receivables and collections, inventory valuation and cost of goods sold, sales commission calculations, cash forecasting, and tax and audit coordination with an outside CPA firm. The controller would contribute to the annual budget and rolling forecasts, upgrade financial systems and put internal controls in place, including approval workflows and separation of duties. Repairing weak processes and building structure into accounting is a major objective.
Applicants need a degree in accounting, finance or a closely related discipline, plus seven years of progressively responsible accounting work, three of them spent as controller or assistant controller. Work in a business-to-business distributor of physical products is mandatory, with working knowledge of inventory costing, landed cost and supplier payment cycles. Advanced GAAP expertise, multi-state tax experience and strong Excel or Google Sheets abilities are required. Managing more than 100 suppliers and explaining results to a CEO without finance training are also expected. A CPA is strongly preferred. The listed base salary is $100,000 to $135,000, plus an annual bonus opportunity.
