? We're Hiring: Controller, Client Accounting Operations
About the Role
Our client is a boutique CFO Advisory firm supporting high-growth, entrepreneurial companies. They're hiring a Controller to run month-end close and manage their offshore accounting team across a portfolio of growing businesses.
This isn't a data-entry role. You'll make judgment calls on revenue recognition, accruals, and multi-entity accounting in real time. You'll own the close calendar, audit the offshore team's work, and handle the financial anomalies that pop up when clients scale fast.
Your job is to free up the Managing Director from accounting firefighting so they can focus on advisory work and growth.
Hours: 9AM-5PM EST
Compensation Range: USD $19-20/hour (40 hours per week)
