Controller

Our client is seeking a Controller who is ready to step up, take ownership, and build a world-class financial backbone for a rapidly growing waste hauling operation. This Controller will be the financial leader on-site, partnering directly with operations, sales, and leadership to bring discipline, structure, and long-term financial visibility to the business.

This role is perfect for an Assistant Controller or strong Senior Accountant who is ready for the next level — someone who thrives in a hands-on environment, loves solving problems, and can create the processes and SOPs a scaling company needs. The Controller will play a key role in future growth and will establish the financial systems that support a high-performing, family-focused culture.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all month-end close processes, financial reporting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
• Develop, implement, and refine financial controls, SOPs, and accounting workflows from the ground up.
• Oversee AP, AR, payroll, billing accuracy, and general ledger integrity.
• Partner with operations leadership to improve job costing, margins, route profitability, and budgeting.
• Manage audits, compliance, and internal review procedures.
• Prepare and monitor annual budgets, financial models, and cash flow management.
• Support leadership with actionable reporting and financial insights for fast-paced decision-making.
• Ensure the Controller function stays aligned with the company’s mission, growth plans, and operational needs.
