Controller
Compensation: $100,000–$130,000
Schedule: Full-Time, On-Site

About the Role
We’re hiring a Controller to lead financial operations in a detail-heavy, fast-moving environment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on setting and takes ownership of financial accuracy, team leadership, and process improvement. You’ll oversee invoicing, reporting, compliance, and payroll, while managing a small internal team and working directly with external accounting and legal partners.

What You’ll Do

  • Oversee all accounting and financial functions, including billing, invoicing, reporting, and payroll

  • Own and manage complex invoicing structures (e.g. per tree, per person, per storm, per region)

  • Supervise and mentor a small team (2–3 direct reports in AP and finance)

  • Maintain financial accuracy, identify discrepancies, and lead audit preparation

  • Prepare tax documents in collaboration with outside CPA and legal teams

  • Maintain accounting records in QuickBooks Online and HR/payroll through Paylocity (transitioning to Paycom)

  • Drive process improvements to increase efficiency and accuracy

  • Support leadership with financial modeling, cash flow forecasting, and strategic reporting

What We’re Looking For

  • 5–10+ years of accounting experience, with 10 preferred

  • Strong background in invoicing, payroll, and financial operations

  • CPA preferred, but not required

  • High attention to detail — someone who can catch inconsistencies and fix them proactively

  • Prior experience managing or mentoring finance staff

  • Familiarity with QuickBooks Online, Paylocity/Paycom, or similar platforms

  • Industry experience in construction, industrial, or field services strongly preferred

  • Steady career history — ideally 3–5+ years per role

  • Comfortable working in a small, collaborative team environment

Why This Role

  • Direct impact on operational efficiency and financial performance

  • Work closely with leadership in a small, mission-driven team

  • Help drive growth and build structure as the company scales
