The posting

About Promentrs Promentrs is a professional services firm providing high-caliber accounting and finance expertise to businesses across industries. We embed experienced professionals directly with our clients, giving them the senior-level talent they need, exactly when they need it. Whether a client is navigating a complex close, managing rapid growth, or preparing for an audit, our people step in and deliver with confidence and precision.

We're building a team of sharp, self-motivated accounting professionals who want variety, autonomy, and real impact without the constraints of a traditional in-house role. This engagement begins as a 1099 independent contractor arrangement, with the option to transition to full-time employment.

Each engagement is unique. Rather than the routine, maintenance-driven work that defines most internal accounting roles, you'll be brought in for purposeful, high-impact projects that challenge you to think critically and perform at your best. Because you work on one engagement at a time on a full-time basis, you're fully immersed in each client's environment, developing deep expertise across industries, systems, and business situations that most accountants never encounter in a traditional role.

Job Description As a Controller at Promentrs, you are the senior financial leader for our clients. You will own the accounting function, set the standard for financial integrity, and serve as a true business partner to C-suite executives and Finance Directors. You will be brought in for purposeful, high-impact engagements, not routine maintenance work. Each project is an opportunity to step into a new environment, solve complex problems, and leave the organization materially stronger than you found it.

Controls, Compliance & Process Improvements Design, implement, and maintain a strong internal control environment that limits business risk and exposure Develop, document, and enforce accounting policies and procedures across the organization Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and accounting standards, including ASC 606 (revenue recognition), ASC 842(leases), and other relevant pronouncements Coordinate with external auditors, manage audit readiness, and support SEC reporting where applicable

Team Leadership & Mentorship Lead, coach, and develop accounting staff at the client site, setting clear objectives and fostering a high-performance culture Embrace a mentorship mindset by sharing knowledge, offering guidance, and investing in the growth of junior team members; at Promentrs, developing others is just as important as delivering results Drive process improvement initiatives through coaching, training, and clear ownership of change management

What You Bring Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA license strongly preferred) Big 4 public accounting experience is highly preferred 10 or more years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 3-5 years in a Controller or senior accounting leadership role Deep expertise in U.S. GAAP; SEC reporting experience is a strong plus Proven track record of owning the full-cycle close, financial reporting, and internal controls in complex or fast-moving environments Experience with large ERP systems (NetSuite, Dynamics, Sage Intacct, Workday, or similar); ERP implementation experience is a plus Excellent communication and relationship-building skills; you can earn trust quickly at all organizational levels and distill complex financial matters into clear, actionable language Highly adaptable, self-directed, and effective in ambiguous or rapidly changing environments Prior experience in public accounting, consulting, or multi-client professional services is strongly preferred Entrepreneurial mindset; you operate with integrity, take initiative, and lead without waiting to be told what to do

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
