Financial Controller – Public Company (NASDAQ) | Multi-Entity Consolidations

Location: Remote – Global
Schedule: Minimum 6 hours overlap with U.S. Eastern Time
Reports to: CFO / VP of Finance
Compensation: Competitive, based on experience

About the Company

We are a publicly traded, NASDAQ-listed company operating across multiple legal entities and currencies, including operations in the U.S., Canada, and other international markets.

The company has an active acquisition strategy and is currently transitioning its accounting operations to NetSuite as its system of record.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Financial Controller to take hands-on ownership of the company's accounting close, multi-entity consolidations, and technical accounting execution.

This is a senior technical execution role working closely with the CFO and finance leadership. You will be responsible for ensuring the integrity of the monthly and quarterly close, reviewing accounting entries, consolidating entities, managing intercompany activity, and producing accurate financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The company is also migrating its accounting operations to NetSuite. During the transition, you will work across NetSuite and the legacy accounting environment, reconcile balances between systems, resolve migration issues, and help establish NetSuite as the company's accounting system of record.

Because we are a NASDAQ-listed company, quarter-end periods require a high degree of ownership, accuracy, and urgency. The successful candidate will have experience working in or supporting a public-company reporting environment and understand the standards required for audit-ready financial reporting.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are a technically strong accountant who is comfortable taking ownership in an environment that is still evolving.

You have personally managed difficult closes, multi-entity consolidations, intercompany eliminations, and technical accounting issues rather than simply reviewing someone else's work. You understand the additional rigor required when supporting a publicly traded company and can produce work that a CFO or external auditor can follow and defend.

You are equally comfortable investigating a consolidation difference, reviewing journal entries, resolving a NetSuite reconciliation issue, or researching the appropriate U.S. GAAP treatment for an unusual transaction.

You do not need a perfectly structured environment to perform well. You bring structure with you.

Most importantly, you take ownership. You communicate issues early, document your work clearly, meet demanding reporting deadlines, and understand the stakes involved in getting a public company's financial statements right.
