POSTED ON 4/14/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/13/2025

Do you love to fix the mess — not avoid it?

We are looking for a hands-on Controller who is ready to take ownership of our financial operations during a critical turnaround and growth phase.

We are a fast-growing marketing services company with complex billing, high transaction volume, multiple systems feeding into QuickBooks Online, and a small but mighty finance team (currently one incredibly hardworking Bookkeeper).

You will step in as the financial leader — working directly with our CEO — to clean up processes, build better systems, and create financial clarity across the company.

This is not a “big company CFO” job. This is a Controller who owns the numbers — from billing to cash flow to financial reporting — and who knows every dollar moving through the business.

  • Manage payroll processing and ensure compliance across multiple states.
  • Manage and administer employee health insurance and benefit packages.
  • Execute wires and payments to contractors and vendors.
  • Negotiate payment terms with vendors, contractors, and service providers to optimize cash flow.
  • Implement internal controls and financial best practices.

Financial Systems Integration

  • Own the financial flow across:
  • Accelo (Project Management & Billing)
  • CloudCRM (Customer Management & Subscription Billing)
  • Stripe (Payment Processing)
  • Ensure clean data flow between systems and QuickBooks
  • Eliminate manual errors and fix integration gaps

Financial Reporting & Cash Management

  • Own company budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management
  • Provide accurate, real-time financial reporting to the CEO and Leadership Team.
  • Support margin analysis, profitability tracking, and financial decision-making

  • Trustworthiness — We tell the financial truth here
  • Curiosity & Drive — Don’t know it? Learn it. Fast. Especially if it involves digital marketing or our systems

Must-Have Experience

  • 7 years in accounting or financial operations (Controller or Senior Accounting Role)
  • Deep expertise in QuickBooks Online — hands-on, not just oversight
