About the Role

We’re a fast-growing home services company seeking an  Assistant Controller  to lead day-to-day accounting operations and strengthen our financial controls and compliance as we scale. This role will  oversee all accounting and compliance , own the monthly close, and partner closely with the CFO on financial reporting, audits, and process improvements. You’ll build repeatable, scalable accounting workflows across a multi-branch, high-transaction environment.

What You’ll Do

Accounting Operations & Close

  • Own the  monthly / quarterly / year-end close  process and maintain an accurate, timely general ledger.
  • Prepare and / or review  journal entries, accruals, reconciliations , and supporting schedules.
  • Ensure balance sheet integrity (cash, AR, deposits / unearned revenue if applicable, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, accruals).
  • Oversee core revenue and expense accounting in a home services environment (e.g., deposits, service plans / memberships, job costing where applicable).

Financial Reporting

  • Produce timely, accurate  financial statements  (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) and management reporting packages.
  • Develop variance explanations and insights (by branch / line of business / region as applicable).
  • Partner with the CFO to improve KPI reporting and dashboards that support decision-making.

    • Compliance, Controls & Risk Management

  • Oversee accounting policies and internal controls; document processes and establish approval workflows.
  • Manage compliance calendar and filings in coordination with external providers as needed :
  • Sales / use tax, property tax, 1099s, payroll-related filings (as applicable)
  • State / local registrations and other operational compliance impacting finance
  • Coordinate audits, reviews, and requests from banks / lenders / insurance providers.

    • Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team (AP / AR / payroll / bookkeeping as applicable); set expectations and drive accountability.
  • Partner with Operations, HR, and Customer Service to ensure clean handoffs for billing, collections, job costing, and payroll inputs.
  • Work with branch / field leaders to improve coding, purchasing, inventory / parts tracking (if applicable), and job profitability visibility.

    • Systems & Process Improvement

  • Ensure accurate workflows between field service software / CRM, payments, and accounting (e.g., ServiceTitan / Housecall Pro / Jobber + QuickBooks / NetSuite).
  • Improve automation and controls around high transaction volume (credit cards, ACH, refunds, chargebacks).
  • Drive process improvements for scalability : close timelines, reconciliations, and standardization across branches / entities.

    • What Success Looks Like (First 90–180 Days)

  • Close is completed on time with clear checklists, owners, and documented processes.
  • Reconciliations are current; aging and reserves are defensible; balance sheet is clean.
  • Compliance calendar is organized and predictable with zero surprises.
  • CFO receives consistent reporting cadence with reliable operational insight.
  • Identified and implemented 2–3 improvements that reduce errors and speed up close.

    • Requirements

    Required

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience (home services, construction, multi-location retail, or other high-volume transactional environments preferred).
  • Strong understanding of GAAP fundamentals and operational accounting.
  • Experience owning month-end close, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation.
  • Comfort working “hands-on” while also leading / organizing others.
  • High proficiency with accounting systems (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, etc.) and Excel / Google Sheets.

    • Preferred

  • CPA or CMA (or active pursuit) strongly preferred.
  • Experience with multi-entity, multi-branch accounting and / or acquisition integration.
  • Familiarity with job costing, service agreements / memberships, and deferred revenue concepts.
  • Experience supporting audits, lender reporting, or private equity-backed environments.

    • Core Competencies

  • Ownership mentality and attention to detail without losing speed.
