We’re looking for a Financial Controller to join a growing organization and work directly with the CFO. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with broad exposure across financial reporting, technical accounting, acquisition integration, compliance, planning and process improvement.
The role offers an exciting opportunity to help integrate a newly acquired business before progressively taking ownership of the broader financial controlling and planning function.

Acquisition & integration
Lead finance-related activities associated with the integration of a newly acquired entity
Support migration of financial data, chart of accounts, fixed assets and other accounting structures
Partner with the acquired business and CFO throughout the integration
Support purchase price allocation and other acquisition-related accounting activities

Experience with consolidation, lease accounting and business combinations/acquisition accounting
Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
Ability to work independently while partnering effectively with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
A genuine interest in process improvement, automation and leveraging technology
Why consider this prospect?
This is more than a traditional controllership role. You'll have direct exposure to the CFO, immediate involvement in an acquisition, and the opportunity to shape and ultimately own a broad financial controlling and planning function .
It's an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys technical accounting but also wants greater ownership, visibility and influence within an organization.
If you're ready for a role where you can make an immediate impact and build something for the long term, we'd love to hear from you.
