Sr. Director/Director- Finance Controller

Opportunity Overview

A high-growth, multi-entity business is entering its next phase of scale, with strong revenue momentum and a clear path toward public markets.

The company operates at significant scale across categories, with complex revenue streams, inventory-heavy operations, and multiple legal entities.

This role will anchor finance controllership and governance, while partnering closely with business leaders to drive performance and decision-making.

Role Summary

This is a business-facing finance leadership role, not a traditional accounting mandate.

You will work directly with the CFO to own end-to-end controllership, strengthen financial discipline, and translate numbers into actionable insights for leadership.

Immediate Priorities (First 3–6 Months)

• Stabilize and strengthen financial reporting and month-end closure across entities
• Build tighter governance on revenue recognition, margins, and cost structures
• Anchor business reviews with leadership, driving insight-led decisions
• Strengthen audit readiness, compliance, and internal controls

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end controllership: financial accounting, reporting, audits, compliance, and internal controls
• Track and influence business performance across revenue, margins, and cost levers
• Lead audits and compliance engagements, acting as the primary interface with external stakeholders
• Drive monthly business reviews with leadership teams, translating numbers into decisions
• Partner with operating teams to improve working capital, cost efficiency, and overall financial health
• Support IPO-related finance and compliance readiness, where applicable
• Build and lead a high-performing finance team

Ideal Candidate

• Chartered Accountant with 13+ years of experience in controllership
• Strong exposure to scale and complexity (multi-entity, high-volume operations)
• Experience in high-growth, listed, or IPO-bound environments preferred
• Strong business finance orientation, not just accounting expertise
• Ability to influence leadership and drive cross-functional outcomes
• Proven team leadership and stakeholder management skills

What Will Not Work

• Pure accounting profiles without business partnering exposure
• Candidates who have not operated at scale or complexity
• Low ownership, reporting-focused profiles without decision-making influence

Why This Role

• Direct partnership with CFO and leadership team
• Opportunity to shape finance in a high-growth, pre-IPO environment
• High visibility and impact across business decisions
• Ability to influence systems, processes, and financial outcomes at scale
