Controller/Financial Operations Manager

Immediate Need: Controller / Financial Operations Manager (Hands-On Department Builder) (Salary $100K-$110K + Bonus)

About Us

We are a privately owned, high-transaction service business generating ~$5M in annual revenue. With weekly payroll, significant vendor volume, and recurring debt obligations, we urgently need a hands-on financial leader to stabilize operations and build a finance department from the ground up.

The Role

We are seeking a Controller / Financial Operations Manager who thrives in a “Bob the Builder” environment—someone energized by creating order where there is chaos. You’ll take full ownership of daily accounting operations, enforce financial discipline, and inject financial intelligence into every department.

What You’ll Do

Own QuickBooks Elite & Online: daily transactions, reconciliations, chart of accounts clean-up

Manage AR/AP: enforce invoice-based payments, collections, and vendor credibility

Oversee payroll (ADP): reconcile, validate, and correct payroll variances

Deliver weekly executive dashboards: P&L, cash flow, AR/AP aging, payroll vs revenue, debt exposure

Build budgets for every department and lead the 2026 company-wide budget process

Identify cost savings, renegotiate vendor contracts, and enforce purchasing controls

Teach department heads how to read budgets, control spend, and understand financial impact

Ensure audit readiness and regulatory compliance

What We’re Looking For

7–10+ years hands-on accounting experience

Expert in QuickBooks Elite & Online

Mastery of AR/AP, payroll reconciliation, and bank reconciliations

Experience in $3M–$10M service-based businesses

Proven success in debt & cash-flow constrained environments

Strong leadership and department-building skills

The Right Fit

Builder, not a decorator

Thrives in high-accountability, fast-moving service businesses

Comfortable creating systems from scratch

Zero tolerance for sloppy invoicing, payroll errors, or vendor mistakes

Not a fit if you’re payroll-only, entry-level, corporate “cushion” seeking, or require heavy oversight

90-Day Mission

Stabilize AR/AP and bank reconciliations

Restore vendor credibility

Launch weekly dashboards and cash forecasts

Implement expense governance

Build framework for 2026 budget
