THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING

  • A PE-backed global company with operations across North America, EMEA, and APAC (15 entities in multiple currencies)
  • Reports directly to the CFO, a highly regarded leader known for developing and promoting his people
  • A seat on the management team, with regular board exposure: monthly board updates and quarterly board meetings
  • Leads a team of 7, including a strong #2 being developed toward a controller role
  • Works alongside peer regional controllers in EMEA and APAC
  • A supportive CEO and leadership team, with strong partners in Operations, IT, Legal, and Treasury

WHAT THEY OFFER YOU

  • Fast-track visibility to the board and the PE sponsor, which is rare at the controller level
  • The chance to lead accounting through a planned change of ownership and refinance
  • A front-row seat to an AI-driven transformation of AP, AR, and the close process
  • A leader who invests in mentorship and career growth
  • $160K–$180K base, plus a 20% bonus and equity

LOCATION

  • Charlotte, NC, hybrid with 4 days onsite
  • Flexible hours to accommodate early EMEA and late APAC calls

WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT

  • Owns North America accounting, which is about 70% of the business, plus corporate consolidation of 13 international entities
  • Leads the cleanup of historical financials following an ERP implementation, ahead of a Quality of Earnings process in 2027
  • Drives the month-end close from 10 days down to 5
  • Serves as the primary point of contact for auditors, outsourced Big 4 tax, and valuation specialists, and translates their work for the board and shareholders
  • Brings an accounting perspective to a cost accounting project now underway
  • Mentors the next generation of controllership on the team

THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS

  • CPA and Big 4 experience required
  • 10+ years of experience (12 preferred), with prior controller experience; not someone growing into the role
  • Manufacturing or production experience, with a strong background in cost and operational accounting
  • Multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation experience
  • PE-backed, QoE, or transaction experience is a strong plus
  • Has led ERP stabilization or post-implementation cleanup
  • A change agent who thrives in transformation: about 80% leader and 20% hands-on
