Overview
We are seeking an experienced and proactive Financial Controller to support a U.S.-based SaaS/technology company serving mission-critical, compliance-sensitive industries across multiple business entities. This role focuses on overseeing full-cycle accounting operations, maintaining accurate and audit-ready financial records, supporting cash flow visibility and financial reporting, and helping leadership improve financial processes and operational efficiency.
This is a hands-on operating finance role, not an external audit or compliance-only role. We are looking for someone who has directly managed accounting operations inside small to mid-sized businesses and can independently own the month-end close, reporting, reconciliations, cash flow visibility, and day-to-day finance workflow.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, tech-forward, and comfortable using modern accounting systems, AI tools, and automation solutions to optimize workflows and improve efficiency. Strong communication skills, accountability, and the ability to follow through on tasks independently are essential.
