Controller

Description

Now Hiring: Controller (a.k.a. Finance Wizard Facilities Guru)
Location: Indoors, cozy office vibes
Reports to: Our fantastic COO/CFO
Salary Range: $88,800–$125,000 (because your skills deserve it)
Status: Full-time, Exempt

Who We’re Looking For:

Are you equal parts spreadsheet superstar and strategic thinker? Do you love the thrill of a balanced budget and the satisfaction of a well-run facility? We’re looking for a Controller who’s ready to take charge of our accounting operations and facilities management like a boss.

This isn’t just a behind-the-scenes number cruncher gig. You’ll lead our finance team, champion accuracy and compliance, keep our systems humming, and even weigh in on big-picture planning. Plus, you’ll make sure our buildings are safe, sound, and running smoothly.

What You’ll Be Rocking Every Day:

Accounting & Financial Management
You’ll lead the charge in:

• Guiding and growing our small but mighty finance team
• Managing everything from payroll and payables to budgeting and closing
• Reviewing reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statements like a pro
• Keeping us audit-ready and tax-compliant
• Maintaining accounting systems (we use Sage & Avatax, among others)
• Helping leaders understand the numbers and make informed decisions
• Supporting internal audits and tracking all the little (and big) things—capital assets, inventory, credit cards, patronage payments, and more

Facilities Management
Think of it as your side quest:

• Overseeing facility ops across locations
• Working with vendors, landlords, and team leads to keep things running smoothly
• Planning facility budgets and large purchases
• Keeping us compliant with safety and building regs
• Serving on the Safety Committee (don’t worry, there are snacks)

What You Bring to the Table:

• Deep knowledge of GAAP and accounting best practices
• Leadership chops and a collaborative mindset
• Comfort juggling multiple priorities and deadlines
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office and accounting systems
• Keen attention to detail and a strong sense of integrity
• A love for solving problems, supporting others, and making the complex simple

You’ve Got the Experience:

Must-haves:

• Bachelor’s in Accounting or a related field
• 5 years in accounting roles
• 3 years managing people
• Experience in financial reporting, budgeting, and general ledger management

Bonus points for:

• CPA certification
• 5 years in public accounting
• Experience with Sage 100
• Payroll and sales tax knowledge

You’ll Also:

• Recruit and develop team talent
• Track departmental performance
• Set clear goals and provide feedback
• Handle the tough stuff when needed (discipline, terminations, etc.—with support)

The Work Environment:

• Office setting, low noise, good coffee
• Occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs, but that’s rare)
• Lots of screen time, so bring your blue light glasses

Travel? Barely.

• Less than 10%—you’ll mostly stay local

A Note on Nondiscrimination:

We believe in equal opportunity and making our workplace accessible to everyone. Need accommodations? No problem. Just reach out to HR at 507.437.2400. We’ve got you.
