Full Job Description

Position Overview

We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Controller with a strong technical accounting foundation, exceptional analytical capabilities, and sound business judgment. This high-impact role is responsible for leading core accounting operations while serving as a trusted partner to the business.

The ideal candidate is both a steward of financial accuracy and a proactive business partner—someone who can maintain strong financial controls while delivering actionable insights. This role works closely with leadership on key initiatives, using data, process improvement, and sound financial management to drive efficiency, solve problems, and support informed decision-making across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Business Partnership & Analytics

Provide actionable insights through data analysis and storytelling, driving value-creating initiatives.
Collaborate with business leaders to identify opportunities for growth, efficiency, and profitability.
Support and lead cross-functional projects including cost optimization and process improvements.

Accounting Leadership & Control

Oversee core accounting functions, including the general ledger, accounts payable, payroll, month-end close, and financial reporting, with scope that may expand based on business needs and candidate experience.
Ensure the integrity and accuracy of financial statements in compliance with US GAAP and SOX.
Manage accounting policies, internal controls, account reconciliations, and revenue recognition practices.
Maintain compliance with state and local tax regulations.
Ensure the integrity of inventory accounting through disciplined control processes, reconciliation procedures, and a strong understanding of cost accounting principles and inventory valuation methods.
Act as a liaison with Steelcase, our parent company.

Financial Reporting & Close

Lead the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes across inventory, project accounting, and service operations.
Prepare and review accurate financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Partner with the Senior Financial Analyst to ensure accurate and compliant revenue recognition.
Maintain integrity of the general ledger, including inventory, cost of goods sold, and job costing.

Technology & Transformation

Identify and lead process improvement and change management initiatives that enhance reporting, efficiency, and scalability.
Leverage data analytics and business intelligence tools to interpret, visualize, and communicate insights that support informed decision-making and continuous improvement. Advanced Excel skills are required, and Power BI proficiency is a strong plus.
Explore and evaluate automation opportunities across finance and accounting functions to streamline processes, reduce manual effort, and enhance scalability.
Play a key role in the company’s future ERP migration and broader digital transformation initiatives.

Team Leadership

Lead, develop, and mentor the finance and accounting team.
Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Set clear goals and expectations and provide effective coaching and feedback.
Serve as a hands-on leader by actively engaging in key deliverables, supporting team execution, and maintaining consistently high standards of accuracy and timeliness.
Manage a team of 4–6 direct reports across Accounts Payable, Payroll, Billing, and Staff Accounting/Financial Analysis.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; CPA or equivalent certification strongly preferred.
6–10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership responsibility; the appropriate level will depend on the candidate’s background and depth of experience.
Strong expertise in general accounting, GAAP, SOX compliance, and cost accounting; experience with inventory accounting is highly desirable.
High attention to detail and accuracy.
Proven success leading an accounting function that includes accounts payable, payroll, and general accounting operations.
Advanced Excel skills; experience with Power BI and data visualization tools is a strong plus.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a track record of using data to drive decisions.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across functions and build strong partnerships with business leaders.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.
High level of independence, initiative, and accountability.
Self-starter who is proactive, resourceful, and driven to execute without constant direction.
Experience leading, supporting, or playing a critical role in ERP implementations or large-scale transformation initiatives is a strong plus.
This role is based in Marlborough, MA and includes regular engagement with leadership teams in Boston, MA and East Hartford, CT.

What We’re Looking For

A curious and inquisitive leader who thrives on solving complex problems.
A trusted partner to the business who can bridge finance and operations.
A change agent who can drive transformation while maintaining operational excellence.
A collaborative leader who elevates others and builds lasting relationships across the organization.

Salary Range $130k-$160k (based on experience). Plus bonus.

What You’ll Get

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) with company match
Ongoing professional development opportunities
A flexible hybrid work environment

This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the company’s financial performance, operational effectiveness, and long-term success. If you are passionate about accounting leadership, business partnership, and driving meaningful impact, we would welcome the opportunity to hear from you.
