Interim Controller

This interim Controller position sits at the centre of a multi-entity accounting function, working closely with the VP of Accounting, CFO, FP&A, HR, and operations. The role covers the full monthly close cycle (targeting five to six business days), revenue and deferred revenue management for a subscription and credit-card billing model, balance sheet maintenance, and intercompany accounting within a CPOM structure. A short transition overlap with the outgoing manager is included to support a quick ramp.

The successful candidate will also coordinate audit and tax compliance, review payroll accounting entries, analyse results against budget and forecast, and apply AI tools to streamline close processes and variance analysis. Strong GAAP foundations, multi-entity experience, and the ability to present clearly to executive leadership are essential.
