Full Job Description

Description:

Position Summary:

We’re looking for a hands-on Assistant Controller who thrives with a fluid company. You’ll own the accuracy and integrity of our financial records under U.S. GAAP, lead a team of staff accountants, and serve as the Controller’s right-hand individual as the business grows through customer expansion, operational improvements, and de novo openings. This is a builder’s seat, not a maintenance seat. Our environment moves quickly and changes constantly, with new entities, new properties, an expanding vehicle fleet, and new systems. The right person doesn’t wait for a playbook. They set direction, work independently, and bring order to ambiguity while keeping the monthly close process on schedule. This person is also comfortable moving between the detail of reconciliation and the big picture of a growing business.

Key Responsibilities:

Close & controls. Run daily and monthly accounting across journal entries, the general ledger, and balance sheet reconciliations, and deliver a clean close every period.
Technical accounting & policy. Own technical accounting research, position memos, and written policy for complex transactions, including revenue recognition, leases, and business combinations.
Job cost, WIP & project accounting: Own work in progress (WIP) schedules and job cost accounting. Track costs against budgets, review WIP (w for accuracy, and surface variances before they become surprises.
Fixed assets & fleet. Maintain the books across branch holdings and the vehicle fleet, including fixed assets, depreciation, capitalization, and the cost tracking that keeps property and equipment reporting accurate.
Prepare, analyze, and present weekly and monthly financial reports, key performance indicators (KPIs), dashboards, and variance analytics to senior leadership to support strategic planning and business performance monitoring.
Evaluate, recommend, and implement process improvements, automation tools and scalable accounting solutions to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and control across the accounting function.
Lead coordination of external audits, internal reporting requirements, and special projects, exercising discretion in resolving accounting issues and insuring timely completion of deliverables.
Performance Management: hiring, firing, performance appraisals of accounting team.

Competencies:

Leadership: Ability to oversee full-cycle accounting, including month-end close, general ledger, reconciliations, and GAAP compliant reporting. Ability to lead, mentor, and high performance among direct reports.
Financial Reporting & Analysis – Expertise in preparing and presenting financial results, KPIs, and variance analyses to support informed business decisions.
Internal Controls & Compliance: Develop and maintain accounting policies, procedures, and controls to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to partner with Operations, Finance, and Treasury to support cash management and strategic initiatives.
Process Improvement & Automation: Skill in identifying and implementing efficiencies, system enhancements, and automation opportunities.
Audit & Project Leadership: Ability to lead audit coordination, reporting requirements, and special projects with independent judgment and discretion.
