A hands-on interim Financial Controller is needed to stabilise the accounting function for a private equity-backed, multi-location services company during a systems migration and leadership transition.
A private equity-backed, multi-location services company requires an experienced accounting leader to take ownership of the month-end close across a complex multi-entity structure, including operating, affiliated, real estate, and holding-company entities. The role covers GAAP-compliant financial reporting, intercompany reconciliations, consolidations, and support through the annual audit.
The successful candidate will also provide oversight and hands-on support during a NetSuite migration, help rebuild and standardise processes as banking and operating systems change, work toward a consistent two-week close cycle, and document all procedures and controls ahead of a clean handoff to the permanent internal team.
