Financial Controller
The Role
We're hiring a Controller who can do both jobs well. You'll be the strategic financial partner to the CEO and the person who makes sure the books close cleanly every month. This is a builder's seat at a company that's scaling fast. You'll inherit a small, capable team that already handles the majority of day-to-day transactional work. Your job is to lead them, raise the bar on what we produce, and build the financial infrastructure a multi-entity rollup needs to keep growing. We're scrappy, and we move fast. We need someone who's a thought leader on strategy and capital but who will also roll up their sleeves and get the day-to-day done.

Multi-entity accounting and consolidation experience

The scrappy, get-it-done mindset that matches how we operate
