Job Description

Description:

We're looking for a hands-on Senior Controller to lead and strengthen accounting operations for our fast-growing, multi-location brand.


This isn't a corporate finance or CFO-track role. It's ideal for a strong Controller or Assistant Controller who loves improving systems, mentoring a small team, and keeping a fast-moving organization financially tight and audit-ready.


You'll bring a balance of structure and scrappiness, ensuring accuracy and control while helping the business scale.

Requirements:

What You'll Love Here

  • You like to roll up your sleeves and stay close to the work.
  • You're energized by solving problems, not just managing people.
  • You value collaboration, clarity, and accountability.
  • You thrive in a growth environment where structure is still being built.

What You'll Own
  • Lead all day-to-day accounting functions across multiple legal entities.
  • Manage and develop a small, talented accounting team.
  • Oversee month-end close, reconciliations, and accurate financial reporting.
  • Own AP, AR, and employee reimbursement processes; ensure policy and compliance.
  • Prepare for and support annual audits, tax filings, and regulatory reporting.
  • Strengthen internal controls and ensure consistent, GAAP-compliant practices.
  • Improve systems and workflows to drive clarity, consistency, and scalability.
  • Partner cross-functionally with HR, Operations, and Brand teams on shared priorities.

Who You Are
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting required; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 6-10 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including time as an Assistant Controller or Controller.
  • Experience in multi-entity or franchise environments preferred.
  • Advanced knowledge of GAAP, reconciliations, and audit preparation.
  • Confident, detail-oriented leader with a strong coaching mindset and systems thinking.
  • Proficient in QuickBooks, NetSuite, or comparable accounting platforms.
  • A clear communicator who builds trust and drives accountability across teams.
