Senior Finance Controller - 17931

The Role
This is a department leadership role. You will take full ownership of accounting operations, supervise four offshore team members, and serve as the single accountable owner of month-end close, trust accounting integrity, and financial reporting.
You will work directly with the VP of Operations and CEO, alongside a fractional CFO. The objective is clear: install structure, improve systems, and reduce executive involvement in day-to-day accounting.
This is not an accounting role, it is an ownership role.
