Controller

A rapidly growing regional landscaping and property services company is seeking an Interim Controller to lead its accounting and finance operations during a period of expansion. This leadership role will guide a strong accounting team through month‑end close, reporting, audit preparation, and post‑acquisition integration.

Given the company’s highly acquisitive growth model, experience in standing up reporting processes post‑transaction, chart of accounts mapping, and opening balance sheet creation will be especially valuable. This is an onsite role in Downtown Los Angeles, with an initial engagement duration of 2–3 months and potential for extension.

• Manage month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close processes to ensure timely and accurate financial results.

• Prepare and deliver monthly reporting packages, including detailed analytics, variance analysis, and actionable operational insights.

• Lead audit readiness, ensuring documentation completeness and coordination with external auditors.

• Oversee and mentor the accounting team, reviewing journal entries, reconciliations, and analytical results for accuracy and consistency.

• Support post‑acquisition accounting and integration, including chart of accounts mapping and balance sheet setup.

• Collaborate cross‑functionally with FP&A, operations, and executive leadership to improve processes and strengthen financial controls.

• Controller or Senior Accounting leadership experience within a multi‑entity or acquisitive mid-size environment.

• Strong command of US GAAP, consolidation, and audit processes.

• Hands‑on proficiency with ERP systems (IFS preferred) and advanced Excel, Power BI analytics.

• Practical post‑M&A experience — mapping accounts, setting up opening balances, and reconciling acquisition entries.

• A roll‑up‑your‑sleeves attitude, proactive leadership style, and comfort working onsite in a collaborative, highly acquisitive environment.

• An inspirational place for you to do your best work, be engaged in meaningful ways, and continually develop the skills, competencies and qualities that set our team apart.

• Compensation commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and other factors including geographic location, market and operational factors.

• Total Rewards include: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, 401(k) Savings Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Professional Development Program, Paid Time Off and Paid Sick Time (in geographies where legally required).
