The Opportunity
A growing private-equity-backed healthcare services company is hiring a hands-on Controller. The company operates across several states and entities. The Controller reports to the CFO and will run day-to-day accounting: the close, financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, audits and cash reporting. The company is also preparing for a major ERP implementation, and this person will help lead it.
This role fits a leader who can think strategically and still work in the details. You'll build a small team and put processes in place that scale as the business grows.

Prepare cash forecasts, and support the CFO on liquidity and planning.
-
Lead the annual budget alongside operations leaders.
-
Build monthly reporting packages for leadership and the company's private equity owners.
-
Run the annual audit and support lender, tax and regulatory requests.
-
Write, document and enforce accounting policies and controls.
-
Support acquisitions, from due diligence through purchase accounting and integration.
