Job description
Controller - Fully Onsite - White Plains, NY
We are seeking an experienced, hands‑on Controller to take ownership of the company’s accounting function from soup to nuts. This is an excellent opportunity for a Controller who enjoys being directly involved in the day‑to‑day accounting operations while also improving processes, strengthening controls, and building a more sophisticated accounting infrastructure.
The ideal candidate will have strong technical accounting expertise, particularly ASC 606 revenue recognition, along with hands‑on experience with accrual accounting and transitioning an organization from cash‑basis to accrual accounting.
This role will have significant ownership and visibility across the organization. The Controller will assess the existing accounting environment, identify gaps, implement improved processes and controls, troubleshoot complex accounting issues, and ensure the company’s financial information is accurate, timely, and properly reported.

Manage all aspects of the general ledger, month‑end and year‑end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting
Implement and manage ASC 606 revenue recognition processes
Lead the transition from cash‑basis to accrual accounting
Evaluate existing accounting and revenue recognition processes and identify areas for improvement
Develop and implement accounting procedures, internal controls, and reconciliation processes
Troubleshoot accounting issues and provide practical, hands‑on solutions
Ensure revenue, expenses, receivables, payables, and related transactions are properly recorded and reported
Prepare and analyze financial statements, accounting schedules, and management reports
Work directly within Intuit Enterprise Suite / QuickBooks Online
Utilize Microsoft Excel for financial analysis, reconciliations, reporting, and accounting schedules

Partner with leadership on accounting, financial reporting, and business‑related financial matters
Provide hands‑on Controller‑level guidance and support across the organization
Ensure the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of financial information
Support external accountants, auditors, tax professionals, and other outside financial partners as needed
Qualifications
Controller, Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, or senior‑level accounting experience
Strong technical accounting background with demonstrated ASC 606 and revenue recognition expertise
Strong understanding of accrual accounting
Experience transitioning an organization from cash‑basis to accrual accounting strongly preferred
Strong Intuit Enterprise Suite / QuickBooks Online experience
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
Strong general ledger, month‑end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting experience
Proven ability to troubleshoot accounting issues and develop practical solutions
Hands‑on approach with the ability to both perform the accounting work and improve the accounting function
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Ability to work independently and take ownership of the accounting function
Excellent communication and problem‑solving skills

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a true hands‑on Controller who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves and owning the accounting function. This person should be equally comfortable handling day‑to‑day accounting responsibilities, solving technical accounting issues, improving processes, and partnering with ownership and senior leadership.
This is an opportunity to build, strengthen, and own the accounting function rather than simply oversee an established department.
BENEFITS
We offer eligible employees competitive pay and access to a range of benefits and support programs based on assignment type, schedule, length of employment, and eligibility requirements, including medical, dental, vision, prescription coverage, short‑term disability, 401(k), employee assistance, childcare assistance, discounts, paid holidays, and longevity bonuses.
