Controller (accounting/finance exp. req.) Description 

Our client, an environmental services provider, is searching for an analytical and growth-minded Controller to join their team (40 company-wide; 20m revenue) in Chico, CA. Their services help sustain operations for clients spanning across energy, agriculture, and industrial sectors. In this critical role, you will oversee daily accounting activities while also guiding business operations and strategic growth initiatives through financial analyses and reporting. They are looking to centralize accounting operations after working with a firm and are searching for a seasoned accounting professional to help as they enhance processes and leverage their ERP to make more data-driven decisions. As they continue to grow, this role could lead to overseeing direct reports but in the immediate future, this role will be very hands-on with about 60% of your time spent on routine accounting tasks. If you are looking for an opportunity solely focused on higher level financial reporting with a larger accounting team to delegate to, this would not be the best match. However, if you enjoy the diversity of balancing both day-to-day accounting with FP&A, this is an exciting opportunity to serve as a sounding board to a leadership team in build mode. Their culture is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and employee empowerment. Your opinion will not only matter, it will be sought after. This is your chance to become a valued partner to the Executive Leadership Team of a profitable, mission-driven company.
