Job Summary
Complete Filtration Resources is a filtration equipment and wastewater treatment company operating across two entities (U.S. and Denmark). We are seeking an Accountant to serve as the direct report to the Controller — a hands-on accounting leader who owns the mechanics of the monthly close, financial statement preparation, and compliance. This is a growth-oriented role: as the company works through platform integration, ERP transition, and other post-acquisition workstreams, this person should expect to increasingly run day-to-day controllership — independently owning the close and combined financial statements. Someone who performs well here should see a credible path toward a Controller-level role as the platform scales.
Job Responsibilities
Compliance
- Own the recurring compliance calendar across both entities — audit, tax, and other statutory requirements — so nothing gets missed as reporting needs evolve.
- Maintain accurate, GAAP-compliant revenue recognition on project-based work, including the schedules and calculations that support it.
- Support external audit, tax preparation, and any PE sponsor diligence requests with organized, audit-ready documentation.
- Maintain internal controls appropriate for a PE-owned, sponsor-reviewed company.
- Partner with the Controller on compliance items tied to project execution, such as financing instruments and guarantees required for certain contracts.
- Keep Denmark-entity compliance current and coordinated with the Controller.
Financial Statement Preparation
- Prepare monthly combined (U.S. + Denmark) financial statements — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow.
- Own the month-end close process: journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and intercompany eliminations.
- Prepare variance analysis (budget vs. actual) with clear explanations behind material swings.
- Maintain the supporting schedules and analyses that feed the monthly financial package.
- Ensure consistent, accurate use of source data across entities and flag discrepancies before they reach final statements.
- Prepare first-draft summaries of bookings, backlog, and pipeline to feed executive and PE reporting.
Monthly Cycle & General Support
- Manage the recurring monthly cycle of data pulls and workbook updates across reporting and forecasting files for both entities.
- Assist in building executive and PE-facing materials — monthly financial review decks, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses — with an eye toward clean, simple output.
- Partner with operational stakeholders to keep source data current and reliable.
- Take on ad hoc requests from the Controller and executive team as they arise — this role should expect variety and be comfortable prioritizing on the fly.
- Bring a working understanding of clear, fact-anchored financial storytelling so materials this role touches are consistent with how the company communicates results.

- Prior experience in a PE-owned or PE-transitioning company a plus.
- Strong Excel skills and comfort working across ERP systems.
