Controller — Own the Numbers Behind a Top-1,500 Inc. 5000 Company

Carlsbad, CA · On-site · Full-time · $50,000–$80,000/year

Why this seat exists

We're a nationwide private equity education and advisory firm that doesn't just teach business acquisition — we do it. Our team advises and grows a portfolio of operating companies across multiple industries, and our students have collectively closed hundreds of millions in transactions.

The scoreboard, in case you like data:

#1,521 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing companies
#234 fastest-growing in California
#39 fastest-growing in Education, nationally
#30 fastest-growing in San Diego
Our founder: Top 40 Under 40 (2022) and recognized among San Diego's Top 100 CEOs (2025)

Growth like that creates a specific problem: the financial picture gets complicated fast. Multiple entities. Multiple bank accounts. Multiple stories the numbers could be telling. We've been running on fractional support, and we've outgrown it.

We want that function in-house. We want it owned by one person. That's this job.

What makes this different from every other Controller posting

Most accounting roles end at the close. Yours starts there.

You won't just report the numbers — you'll carry them into the room. Marketing gets CAC, LTV, and channel margin from you. The owner and Chief of Staff get the cash position and the honest read on what's working. Our community gets clean, credible results presented with confidence.

If you've ever watched a company make a bad call because nobody translated the P&L into plain English, you already understand the assignment.

What you'll own

The foundation

Full-cycle bookkeeping across multiple entities: AP, AR, data entry, and daily transaction flow in QuickBooks
General ledger and balance sheet reconciliations — accurate, complete, on time
Journal entries, month-end and year-end close, and audit-readiness
Payroll processing and compliance (ADP, Gusto, When I Work)

The strategy

Multi-entity P&L management and consolidated reporting
Budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and cash flow strategy
Financial modeling that informs real decisions — hiring, ad spend, acquisitions
Coordination with fractional CPAs, tax advisors, and outside providers

The megaphone

Present financial results clearly to leadership, the team, and our community
Partner directly with marketing to connect spend to return
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the owner and Chief of Staff

What we're looking for

Required

Proven accounting or bookkeeping experience in a corporate or public accounting environment
Strong QuickBooks proficiency (Xero, Sage, or PeopleSoft experience also welcome)
Command of the fundamentals: debits and credits, journal entries, reconciliations, GL management
Payroll systems experience (ADP, Gusto, or similar) and full AP/AR ownership
Working knowledge of GAAP
Advanced Excel — you build the model, not just fill in the cells
Precision, discretion, and total integrity with confidential financial data

Preferred

Multi-entity accounting experience
Private equity, holding company, or small-business background
A confident presenter — someone who can stand in front of a room and make the numbers land

The intangible You're the kind of person who notices the discrepancy before anyone asks, and who'd rather deliver an uncomfortable number than a comfortable guess.

Logistics

Location: On-site in Carlsbad, CA. This is an in-person role — the work happens next to the people making the decisions.
Type: Full-time
Compensation: $50,000–$80,000/year, based on experience

Apply

If you want a title, there are easier jobs. If you want to build a finance function from the ground up inside a company that's actually growing — and be in the room when the numbers turn into decisions — apply now.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
