Job description

Financial Controller (Remote, EST hours required)

This is a unique role for a detail-oriented yet strategic financial professional who wants to help shape the financial infrastructure of multiple growing companies. You’ll own the accounting processes across the group, ensure accurate financial reporting, and implement automation tools to improve efficiency and insight. If you love numbers, processes, and technology — and you want to work directly with ownership to drive real business performance — this is for you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure accurate and timely month‑end closes and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Coordinate with external accounting firms to ensure compliance and accuracy of all filings.
  • Prepare and consolidate weekly and monthly financial statements across the group.
  • Track performance against profitability and cash flow targets.
  • Provide variance analysis, insights, and recommendations to leadership.
  • Build and maintain dashboards for real‑time financial visibility.

Automation & Process Improvement

  • Implement and optimize accounting automations (QuickBooks Online, Dext, Shopify, etc.).
  • Develop more efficient workflows for accounts payable, receivable, and expense tracking.
  • Identify and roll out tools that reduce manual entry and improve accuracy.
  • Strategic & Operational Partnership

  • Challenge assumptions and support financial decision‑making with solid analysis.
  • Help define KPIs and reporting structures for different business units.
  • Support budgeting and forecasting cycles.
  • Assist with project‑ or product‑level profitability tracking.
  • Who You Are

  • Entrepreneurial : You think like an owner, not just an accountant.
  • Analytical & Curious : You dig into details and ask “why,” not just “what.”
  • Tech‑Savvy : You love automating and optimizing (Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Zapier, etc.).
  • Organized : You bring structure to chaos and follow through to completion.
  • Collaborative : You can work with external accountants, business partners, and operational teams effectively.
  • Qualifications

  • 2–5 years of relevant accounting / finance experience, ideally in a multi‑entity or entrepreneurial environment.
  • Proven experience with accounting automation tools (QuickBooks Online, Dext, or similar).
  • Strong Excel / Google Sheets and data visualization skills.
  • Experience preparing financial statements and working with external accountants.
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities across companies.
  • Why Join Us

  • Work directly with entrepreneurial leadership in a fast‑moving environment.
  • Play a key role in building the financial backbone of several growing businesses.
  • Remote flexibility with occasional on‑site meetings.
  • Opportunity to grow into a Director of Finance or CFO role as the group expands.
