Howard Enterprise is a fast-scaling organization operating across multiple verticals — including media, events, education, digital products, and partnerships. We’re looking for a Financial Controller who will serve as the backbone of our internal financial operations, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and data-driven decision-making as we scale toward $100M+.

This role is ideal for a financially sharp operator who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments. You’ll build and refine financial systems, manage accounting processes, and deliver the insights that empower our leadership to make confident, growth-oriented decisions.

Key Responsibilities :

Accounting & Reporting

  • Prepare and manage monthly financial statements, balance sheets, and income statements.
  • Oversee month-end and year-end close processes with precision and timeliness.
  • Maintain the general ledger, journal entries, and bank reconciliations.
  • Manage A / P and A / R, including approvals, coding, and payment schedules.
  • Oversee contractor invoicing and 1099 processing for compliance and accuracy.
  • Partner with the CFO and external CPA firm on tax preparation and compliance.

Financial Operations & Systems

  • Oversee payroll operations in collaboration with HR and Operations.
  • Perform variance analysis and provide insight into month-over-month and year-over-year performance.
  • Implement and continuously improve financial controls, processes, and systems.
  • Evaluate and optimize account structures and cost centers across business units.
  • Manage vendor, banking, and software relationships.

    • Data, Forecasting & Strategic Insights

  • Lead company-wide financial forecasting across all business verticals.
  • Consolidate and analyze financial and operational data to support scaling strategies.
  • Conduct trend and variance analyses to identify risks, inefficiencies, and profit opportunities.
  • Support the CFO in preparing board-level reports and dashboards.
  • Collaborate with Strategy and Operations teams to connect financial metrics to key business KPIs.

    • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (required).
  • 5–10 years of progressive experience in accounting or finance, ideally within media, digital education, or service-based companies.
  • Proven track record managing multi-entity or multi-vertical accounting.
  • Deep understanding of GAAP, internal controls, and monthly close processes.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, formulas) and financial platforms like QuickBooks or NetSuite.
  • Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Experience with contractor-heavy teams (1099s) and diversified revenue streams (courses, partnerships, events, etc.).
  • CPA designation preferred but not required.

    • Benefits

  • Salary : $75,000 – $100,000 (DOE)
  • Bonuses : Based on accuracy, speed of close, and forecasting precision.
  • Career Path : Opportunity to advance into Director of Finance or VP of Finance as the company scales.
  • Remote Work : Office, Internet, and Computer setup for full-time capabilities.

    • What Makes You a Great Fit :

    You’re more than a bookkeeper — you’re a builder . You anticipate needs, create systems before they’re urgent, and bring both precision and adaptability to every challenge.

    You’ll thrive in this role if you :

    ✅ Build processes before they’re needed.

    ✅ Thrive in environments where pace and precision both matter.

    ✅ Combine structure with strategic curiosity.

    ✅ Operate with integrity, accountability, and excellence.

    ✅ Love translating numbers into clarity and action.
