About the Role

NVK & CSI are seeking a highly disciplined and analytical Controller to lead the integrity, consistency, and execution of the monthly accounting close process across a multi-entity organization.

This role is responsible for strengthening close discipline, improving balance sheet accuracy, enhancing audit readiness, and reducing reliance on reactive CFO review. The ideal candidate brings strong accrual accounting expertise, NetSuite experience, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, operationally focused environment.

This is a controller-level accounting leadership role focused on financial accuracy, accountability, and process improvement — not transactional bookkeeping.

Pay Range: $110,000 - $120,000 per year

 Ensure entries are accurate, properly classified, and fully supported

 Serve as a primary accounting contact for external auditors and tax advisors 

 Assist in developing and documenting accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls 

NetSuite & Process Improvement

 Utilize NetSuite as the primary system of record 

 Review account mappings, reporting structure, and chart of accounts consistency 

 Identify opportunities to improve close efficiency, reporting accuracy, and scalability 

 Recommend and implement process improvements that reduce manual work, CFO dependency, and post-close corrections 

Qualifications & Experience

 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in multi-entity environments 

 Prior Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Accounting Manager experience strongly preferred 

 Strong accrual accounting and month-end close expertise 

 NetSuite experience required 

 Public accounting background preferred 

 Working knowledge of US GAAP, audits, and financial controls 

 Experience working with remote leadership teams and offshore accounting support preferred 

 Experience in multi-location, franchise, childcare, healthcare, hospitality, or service-based businesses is a plus 

 Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills 

 Comfortable leveraging technology, automation, and AI-based tools to improve efficiency 

Success in This Role Looks Like

 Month-end close runs consistently and efficiently with minimal CFO intervention 

 Variances are identified and explained proactively 

 Balance sheet reconciliations are accurate, timely, and fully supported 

 Audit preparation is organized and stress-free

 CFO time shifts from error detection to strategic analysis and decision-making
