Sr. Controller - Growth-Stage Brand Environment

Job Description

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
