Location: Fort Worth, TX (Clearfork Area)
Compensation: Starting at $180,000+ annually, commensurate with experience
About PI Holdings
PI Holdings (Permian Innovations) is a diversified portfolio of companies operating across the energy, industrial, and transportation sectors.
Our flagship business, Wallstreet Sand Co., is a leading frac sand producer serving customers throughout the Permian Basin. As our organization continues to grow and diversify, we are seeking an experienced Controller to serve as the senior financial leader across our portfolio of companies.
Position Summary
PI Holdings is seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Controller to build, lead, and oversee the entire finance and accounting function.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced financial professional who thrives in entrepreneurial environments and enjoys creating structure, improving processes, and partnering directly with senior leadership and stakeholders to drive business performance.
Unlike larger organizations with established accounting and finance departments, this role will function as a true "department of one" initially. The ideal candidate will be comfortable both developing high-level financial strategy and rolling up their sleeves to execute day-to-day accounting responsibilities.
The successful candidate will be a self-starter who can work independently, identify opportunities for improvement, solve complex business challenges, and create scalable financial processes and controls that support continued growth.

· Assist with acquisitions, new ventures, and other strategic growth initiatives from due diligence through close and post close transition/integration
· Partner closely with operational leaders across multiple businesses to support informed decision-making
Required Qualifications
· Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance and CPA strongly preferred
· Minimum 7 years of progressive accounting and finance experience

· Exceptional analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
· Strong communication skills with the ability to present financial information to non-financial leaders
· Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience within frac sand, mining, aggregates, oilfield services, trucking, logistics, manufacturing, industrial operations, or related industries
· Experience supporting multi-entity organizations
· Experience working in high-growth, entrepreneurial, startup, or private-company environments
· Proven track record of building or significantly improving accounting and finance functions
