Job Description

Job Title: Controller

Location:

Minneapolis, MN (Remote to start; Hybrid model anticipated in the future)

Position Overview

We are seeking a

Controller

who is energized by building, improving, and maturing a finance function--not fixing a broken one. This is a hands-on, growth-oriented role ideal for someone who is excited to help shape the financial foundation of a scaling company. The Controller will manage all core accounting responsibilities, lead the monthly close, strengthen financial reporting processes, and ensure the organization's liquidity structure remains strong.

This role offers broad exposure beyond traditional accounting, partnering closely with operations, HR, supply chain, logistics, and vendor management. The Controller will work directly with the CEO and collaborate cross-functionally throughout the business.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Management & Reporting

Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes with accuracy and timeliness. Drive enhanced rigor, consistency, and visibility in financial reporting. Manage all general ledger activities, account reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statements. Maintain and oversee cash-flow planning to ensure a sound liquidity structure. Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis as the organization grows.

Operational & Cross-Functional Support

Partner with operations on logistics, supply chain, inventory tracking, and vendor management. Provide support on HR-related processes including payroll, benefits administration, and compliance. Assist leadership in developing scalable processes and systems across the business. Evaluate and implement improvements to financial and operational workflows.

Systems & Tools

Lead and maintain accounting activities within

QuickBooks

. Identify and implement enhancements or additional systems as growth requires.

Leadership & Culture

Serve as a strategic partner and advisor to the CEO and senior leadership team. Bring a builder's mindset--proactively identifying opportunities, proposing solutions, and creating structure. Contribute to a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required. Proven experience in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior-level accounting role. Strong proficiency with

QuickBooks

is required. Experience in a growth-stage environment or hands-on, entrepreneurial setting preferred. Private Equity exposure is a

plus

, but not required. Understanding of operational functions--HR, benefits, logistics, supply chain, vendor management--is strongly preferred. Strong knowledge of GAAP, monthly close cycles, and financial controls. Demonstrated ability to build processes, not just maintain or repair them. Growth-oriented mindset with desire to expand responsibilities over time. Excellent communication skills and ability to partner across all departments.
