SVP - Corporate Controller

If you are a financial services professional and have experience in Public Accounting and have jumped tracks into a publicly traded entity, we want to talk with you.  Our firm specializes in placing Accounting & Finance Professionals in financial institutions all over the Country.  Our client is a multibillion-dollar entity and is looking for a collaborative team player, with a broad based technical accounting and reporting background, along with strong leadership skills to lead a very savvy team of accounting professionals.

This role is part Operational Accounting, part Financial Accounting with all external reporting rolling up to this individual.  You will be inheriting a great team and have a boss that has a reputation as a great coach and mentor.  You will be tasked with keeping the company’s accounting operations running smoothly while staying fully aligned with GAAP and all applicable regulations. You’ll partner closely with the Chief Financial Officer and teams across the business to strengthen processes and help drive growth through tight, reliable numbers and efficency.  You’ll lead the full Accounting function covering all operational accounting including payables, receivables, reconciliations, and expense reimbursements—while building and maintaining training programs that keep your team sharp and close any skill gaps.

A big part of the job is maintaining a clear, documented set of accounting policies and procedures along with strong internal controls that minimize risk. You’ll own the production of regular financial reports, ensuring everything complies with GAAP and you’ll help build the annual budget and forecasts, flagging significant variances to leadership. The role also calls for thoughtful financial analysis that supports capital investment decisions, pricing, and contract negotiations. As the Corporate Controller, you’ll work directly with external auditors to support the annual audit, prepare and file the required quarterly and annual SEC reports, and stay on top of local, state, and federal compliance requirements.

The leadership team has a strong appetite for actionable data so clear financial reporting packages go to the executive team, and you’ll partner with managers and operational leaders to set realistic objectives while helping identify regulatory risks early and putting practical mitigation plans in place. As with any senior role in a growing organization, you’ll jump in on other priorities as needed.  So, part tactical, part strategic is the key.  On the leadership side, you’ll organize and track the work of your team, recruit and onboard strong talent, and invest in people’s development through coaching, mentoring, and timely performance conversations.

We’re looking for someone with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting or Finance, and a CPA. You’ll need at least ten to twelve years of progressive accounting experience and four years of people-leadership experience, plus a proven track record of producing clean, reliable financial reporting.  Being accounting software savvy and a habit of staying current on industry changes and new rules, with sharp analytical skills is essential.  

Client is an ‘in office’ environment with periodic accommodations for remote as needed.  Intrigued?  Please inquire today in confidence.
