Controller Controller (Hands-On, High-Impact Role)
Are you a detail-driven accounting leader who thrives in a fast-paced, growing environment? We're looking for a Controller who's ready to roll up their sleeves, take ownership of core accounting functions, and drive meaningful process improvements across a multi-entity business.
This is not a purely strategic role, you'll be in the weeds where it matters most, ensuring financial accuracy, strengthening controls, and optimizing operations. A major focus of this position is leading and transforming the Accounts Payable function, making it more efficient, scalable, and aligned with business goals.
You'll partner closely with the Director of Finance and play a critical role in cash flow management, financial reporting, and supporting key business decisions.
This position is in-office at our location in Virginia Beach, VA. The compensation is $90,000 - $120,000 based on experience.
What You'll Do
Lead & Optimize Accounts Payable (Primary Focus)
- Take full ownership of the AP function from invoice intake to payment execution
- Improve processes, controls, and workflows to drive efficiency and accuracy
- Manage vendor relationships and ensure timely, strategic payments
- Identify automation opportunities and implement smarter systems
- Oversee commissions, royalties, and rebate reporting
Oversee Accounts Receivable
- Ensure accurate invoicing, collections, and cash application
- Monitor aging and collaborate with teams to improve cash collection
- Help drive improvements in DSO and revenue accuracy
Own Cash Flow & Treasury Support
- Build and maintain cash flow forecasts
- Monitor liquidity and support funding decisions
- Execute treasury activities including ACH and wire transactions
Lead the Close & Financial Integrity
- Own the month-end close process from start to finish
- Review journal entries, reconciliations, and financial data
- Ensure books are accurate, organized, and audit-ready
Drive Reporting & Insights
- Prepare monthly financials and management reports
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
- Provide visibility into spending trends and cost drivers
Improve Processes & Strengthen Controls
- Enhance internal controls across all accounting functions
- Standardize and document processes
- Support system improvements, integrations, and automation
- Partner cross-functionally to improve margins and cost control
Support Audit & Year-End
- Assist with year-end close, tax prep, and audit requests
- Serve as a key contact for auditors in core accounting areas
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA or CPA-track preferred)
- 6–8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership
- Strong background in high-volume Accounts Payable oversight
- Solid expertise in general ledger, close process, and financial reporting
- Experience in multi-entity or multi-division environments is a plus
- Proven ability to manage cash flow and support treasury functions
- Proficiency with systems like NetSuite, Ramp, or similar tools
- Advanced Excel skills
- Highly detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage competing priorities
- A hands-on mindset, you're just as comfortable executing as you are leading
Why This Role Stands Out
- High-impact role with visibility across the business
- Opportunity to build, improve, and modernize accounting processes
- Blend of leadership and hands-on execution
- Direct partnership with finance leadership on strategic initiatives
- Fast-paced, growth-oriented environment where your work truly matters
