Controller (Two Open Positions)

About the Opportunity

Our client, a top private equity-backed company, is adding two new accounting/finance positions focused on acquisitions. One Controller role supports post-close integration, and the other manages various acquisition projects. With 40-50% travel to work with local teams, these roles offer flexibility in location (continental U.S.). This is a rare chance to join a fast-growing company expected to acquire 60 businesses over the next 5 years. The leadership team is highly impressive, with a strong Ivy League presence.

The annual base salary range is $115,000 to $160,000. Actual compensation offered to the successful candidate may vary from posted hiring range based upon geographic location, work experience, education, and/or skill level, among other things. Details about eligibility for bonus compensation (if applicable) will be finalized at the time of offer.
