Full Job Description

About the Company

We are a growing, mid-sized trucking and transportation company operating a fleet of approximately 50–200 trucks. We are looking for an experienced Financial Controller to take ownership of our accounting and financial reporting functions and help provide the financial visibility and discipline needed to support continued growth.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands both the technical accounting side of the business and the operational realities of trucking. The ideal candidate is organized, analytical, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where accuracy and timely information matter.

The Opportunity

The Controller will be responsible for overseeing the company's day-to-day accounting operations, maintaining accurate financial records, producing timely financial statements, and developing meaningful financial reporting for ownership and management.

The right person will become the financial leader of the organization and a key partner to operations and ownership.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting & Financial Reporting

Own the company's accounting function and month-end/year-end close processes
Prepare and oversee monthly financial statements, including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting
Ensure financial records are accurate, complete, and maintained in accordance with GAAP
Establish and maintain strong accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, payroll accounting, and reconciliations
Review financial activity and identify errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement
Prepare financial reporting packages for ownership and management

Financial Management

Develop and monitor budgets, forecasts, and cash-flow projections
Provide management with financial analysis and actionable insights
Track key financial and operational metrics
Help identify cost-saving opportunities and improve overall financial performance
Monitor working capital, collections, payables, and cash requirements
Assist ownership with financial planning and strategic decision-making

Trucking / Transportation Accounting

Develop a strong understanding of the company's revenue and cost structure
Monitor profitability by truck, customer, route, or other relevant operating metrics
Work closely with operations to understand fuel, maintenance, insurance, driver, equipment, and other transportation-related expenses
Ensure accurate accounting for equipment purchases, depreciation, leases, and financing
Help improve visibility into the true cost and profitability of the company's operations

Leadership & Process Improvement

Lead and develop the accounting team
Improve accounting processes, systems, and reporting
Identify opportunities to automate and streamline financial processes
Work closely with ownership and department leaders to establish accountability around financial performance
Coordinate with outside CPAs, tax professionals, banks, auditors, and other financial partners as needed

Qualifications

5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with prior Controller or senior accounting leadership experience
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred
Strong understanding of GAAP and financial statement preparation
Experience managing month-end and year-end close processes
Strong Excel skills and experience with accounting/ERP systems
Proven ability to build and improve accounting processes
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
Ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-financial leaders
Experience in trucking, transportation, logistics, fleet operations, or a similar asset-intensive industry is strongly preferred

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes ownership. This isn't a role where you simply prepare reports and wait for someone else to interpret them.

The ideal candidate will understand the numbers, know what questions to ask, recognize problems before they become bigger problems, and give ownership and management the information they need to make better decisions.

You should be comfortable operating both in the details and at the strategic level—from reconciling accounts and managing the close to explaining why profitability changed and what the company should do about it.

Why Join Us?

Opportunity to play a key leadership role in a growing transportation company
Significant ownership and autonomy over the accounting and financial reporting function
Direct visibility with company ownership and senior leadership
Opportunity to improve systems, processes, and financial reporting
Competitive compensation and benefits

Compensation: $90,000-$100,000 annually, depending on experience

To Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief description of your experience managing accounting and financial reporting for a trucking, transportation, logistics, or similar company.

Pay: $90,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Health insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
