Controller

Controller Opportunity

Our client, a growing and well-capitalized private equity investment firm, is seeking a hands-on Controller to build and scale the accounting function for its management company. This is a newly created role, reporting to the VP of Finance and driven by the firm's continued growth. You will take ownership of the management company and general partner books, establish clean processes and controls, and help transition the firm's corporate accounting in-house from its third-party fund administrator with unusually broad exposure and a clear path to expand your scope as you build a strong foundation.

Key Responsibilities

Own day-to-day accounting for the management company and general partner entities.

Accurately record management-company revenue, including management fees, fee offsets, transaction fees, and monitoring fees.

Build out an integrated trial balance and strengthen the monthly close, budgets, and budget-to-actual-to-forecast reporting.

Establish and maintain a compliance and hygiene framework for lender covenant requirements.

Help lead the transition to a more robust ERP platform.

Bring processes currently handled by a third-party fund administrator in-house over time.

Partner closely with the CFO and VP of Finance as a key member of a lean, high-caliber finance team.

What Makes This Position Awesome

Newly created, high-visibility role reporting into the CFO organization.

Rare chance to build the accounting function from the ground up your processes and systems, not someone else's to untangle.

Broad exposure across the firm and a strong runway for growth as the platform scales.

A growing, well-capitalized firm with an experienced leadership team.

Qualifications

510 years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting.

Private equity and management-company accounting experience.

Comfort with detailed, hands-on work and building process from the ground up.

Strong technical accounting skills and the ability to operate independently in a lean environment.
