Full Job Description

Aces Business Solutions is seeking an experienced Part-Time Controller to take ownership of accounting and month-end close activities for a small portfolio of client accounts.

This role is ideal for an experienced accounting professional who enjoys working independently, solving accounting problems, and delivering clean, accurate financial statements without requiring significant day-to-day oversight.

Our clients include construction, automotive, and restaurants, so accrual and WIP experience is a must.

Our goal is simple:

You own the accounting. We rely on you to make sure the books are accurate, reconciled, and ready for CFO review each month.

We’re Looking for Someone Who Is

Comfortable taking ownership and working independently
Confident investigating accounting discrepancies and determining the appropriate next step
An excellent communicator who can clearly explain accounting issues and recommended solutions
Organized and able to manage multiple clients, deadlines, and competing priorities
Proactive rather than task-driven
Adaptable and comfortable learning new technologies, systems, and client workflows
Interested in process improvement and modern accounting practices
Able to recognize when financial statements or account balances do not make sense
Comfortable making accounting decisions within their area of responsibility and escalating only issues requiring CFO or client input

Ideal Experience Includes

Controller or Assistant Controller experience
Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager experience with significant month-end close responsibility
Client Accounting Services (CAS)
Outsourced accounting
Public accounting
Managing multiple clients or business entities
Leading accounting operations or month-end close functions
Preparing accrual-basis financial statements
Balance sheet reconciliations
Adjusting journal entries
Accounts receivable and accounts payable review
Payroll and liability reconciliations
Financial statement review and variance analysis

Experience with QuickBooks Online and cloud-based accounting systems is required.

We work across multiple platforms and value professionals who are adaptable, technology-forward, and comfortable learning new systems.

Construction accounting experience is highly desirable, including exposure to:

Job costing
Work in progress (WIP)
Progress billing
Customer deposits and deferred revenue
Retainage
Subcontractor accounting
Accrued payroll and commissions
Project profitability

What You’ll Own

For your assigned clients, you will be responsible for taking the accounting through monthly close and delivering financial statements that are ready for CFO review.

This may include:

Reviewing bookkeeping activity for accuracy and completeness
Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
Reconciling balance sheet accounts
Reviewing accounts receivable and accounts payable
Investigating unusual or incorrect balances
Preparing and posting adjusting journal entries
Reconciling payroll liabilities and loans
Reviewing accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, deposits, and deferred revenue
Reviewing the general ledger for misclassifications and unusual activity
Performing month-end close procedures
Reviewing the Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet for reasonableness
Preparing monthly financial statements
Documenting accounting issues and recommendations
Escalating material matters requiring CFO judgment or client clarification

What Success Looks Like

We are not looking for someone who simply identifies accounting problems.

We are looking for someone who investigates them.

If a reconciliation does not tie, you determine why.

If Accounts Receivable has an unusual credit balance, you trace the transactions creating it.

If something on the Balance Sheet does not make sense, you investigate it before escalating the issue.

The ideal monthly handoff sounds like:

“The month is closed and the financial statements are ready for review. I made the following adjustments, and these two items require your input.”

Qualifications

Minimum 5 years of progressively responsible accounting experience
Strong understanding of accrual accounting
Demonstrated experience with month-end close
Strong balance sheet reconciliation skills
Advanced QuickBooks Online experience
Strong general ledger and journal-entry knowledge
Ability to independently investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies
Strong written and verbal communication
Ability to manage multiple client deadlines
Florida residency required

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is required.

CPA certification is welcome but not required.

We value demonstrated accounting judgment, ownership, and problem-solving ability more than credentials alone.

Engagement Details

This is a remote 1099 independent contractor OR W-2 position for approximately 15-20 hours per week initially.

Compensation is $30-$40 per hour.

The contractor will generally control how the work is performed while meeting agreed-upon monthly close deadlines and client deliverables. All work must be performed within normal hours of operation: Monday through Friday 8 am - 6 pm Eastern time zone.

There may be opportunities for additional hours as the firm continues to grow.

Who This Role May Be Perfect For

This role may be especially attractive to:

An experienced Controller who wants a small amount of additional consulting work
A former Controller or Assistant Controller seeking flexible part-time work
A semi-retired CPA or accounting professional
A CAS or outsourced accounting professional with room for another client portfolio
An experienced accountant who values flexibility over a traditional full-time position

Pay: $30.00 - $40.00 per hour

Work Location: Remote
