LOCATION
Charlotte, North Carolina

WHAT THEY OFFER YOU

• A highly visible Controller role partnering directly with the CFO and senior leadership team.
• The chance to lead accounting within a private equity-backed business scaling through organic growth, operational improvement, and continued integration.
• Broad ownership spanning core accounting, month-end close, reporting, controls, process improvement, and team leadership.
• Room to build a more scalable accounting foundation while staying directly involved in the day-to-day work.
• A seat at the leadership table in a business that needs structure, accountability, and maturity from someone who stays close to the work rather than removed from it.

WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT

• Service as a key accounting leader for a growing, multi-site services organization.
• Strengthening the close process, improving reporting discipline, enhancing controls, and ensuring accounting operations can support continued growth fall squarely under this role.
• Success requires balancing technical accounting, leadership, and operational execution in a smaller-company environment.
• Leading, coaching, and developing the team matters as much as rolling up their sleeves when needed.
• Ability to deliver better visibility, cleaner processes, stronger financial discipline, and a more scalable accounting function.

THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS

• Current controller or senior accounting leader who has already owned a meaningful accounting function.
• Private equity-backed, sponsor-owned, acquisitive, or high-growth middle-market company experience.
• Service industry background is strongly preferred.
• Multi-site operating experience is required.
• Exposure to WIP, project accounting, job costing, or similar operational accounting environments is highly preferred.
• Strong leadership ability paired with a willingness to remain hands-on in the work.
• A track record of improving close processes, reporting cadence, controls, reconciliations, and accounting operations.
• Comfort working in a lean environment where priorities shift and the business needs a practical, solutions-oriented accounting leader.
• The credibility to partner directly with a CFO and executive team while earning trust with the accounting team through execution.
