Financial Controller

The Financial Controller will be responsible for managing the company’s accounting and financial operations and reports directly to our Sr. Director of Mergers & Acquisitions. This includes the production of periodic financial reports, maintenance of an adequate system of accounting records, and a comprehensive set of controls and budgets designed to mitigate risk. The Controller is also responsible for enhancing the accuracy of the company’s reported financial results and ensuring that reported results comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Financial Controller will be an integral part of the leadership team, providing financial oversight and strategic guidance to help drive the growth of the organization. Hometown Veterinary Partners is passionate about empowering veterinary professionals, and the Financial Controller will play a critical role in ensuring that our business operations support that mission.
