Controller – Financial Reporting, GAAP/IFRS & Accounting Leadership | Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an experienced Controller to lead accounting operations, financial reporting, compliance, internal controls, and finance team performance.

This is a senior, hands-on accounting leadership role with ownership across month-end and year-end close, GAAP/IFRS reporting, audit readiness, internal controls, treasury and cash management, budgeting support, team leadership, and ERP/process improvement.

You’ll work closely with executive leadership and FP&A to maintain accurate financials, strengthen accounting operations, and translate financial data into actionable business insights.

If you combine deep technical accounting expertise with strong leadership skills and can balance financial control with strategic decision support, this role is a strong fit.

Financial Reporting & Analysis

  • Prepare accurate GAAP and/or IFRS-compliant financial statements
  • Deliver timely monthly and quarterly reporting packages

  • Ensure compliance with applicable accounting, regulatory, and tax requirements
  • Manage and coordinate external audit processes
  • Prepare and coordinate PBC (Prepared by Client) schedules
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready financial documentation
  • Proactively identify financial, accounting, and compliance risks

Budgeting & Forecasting

  • Partner with FP&A and leadership on annual budgets and forecasts
  • Analyze financial performance against plans
  • Support scenario planning and capital allocation decisions
  • Provide accounting and financial insights for strategic initiatives
  • Help leadership understand financial risks, opportunities, and trade-offs

Treasury & Cash Management

  • Monitor cash flow, liquidity, and working capital
  • Maintain visibility into short- and long-term cash requirements
  • Support cash planning and treasury operations
  • Oversee debt compliance and credit facilities
  • Help maintain financial stability as the organization grows

Accounting Team Leadership

  • Lead, mentor, and manage accountants and finance team members
  • Delegate responsibilities and establish clear priorities
  • Review team outputs for accuracy and completeness
  • Develop team capabilities and strengthen accounting discipline
  • Establish high standards for:
  • Accuracy
  • Timeliness
  • Documentation
  • Accountability
  • Build a high-performing and reliable accounting function

Systems & Process Improvement

  • Identify inefficiencies across accounting and reporting workflows
  • Lead or support ERP implementations and system improvements
  • Automate repetitive accounting and reporting processes
  • Develop and improve financial SOPs
  • Strengthen scalability as transaction volume and organizational complexity increase
  • Improve financial visibility through better systems, reporting, and controls

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience
  • 2+ years of accounting leadership or supervisory experience
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and/or IFRS
  • Proven experience owning month-end and year-end close

  • SAP
  • Oracle
  • QuickBooks Enterprise
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets proficiency
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication
  • Comfortable leading teams remotely during U.S. business hours

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or Finance Manager
  • ERP implementation or accounting system migration experience
  • M&A integration experience
  • Multi-entity or consolidated accounting experience

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:

  • Take full ownership of financial accuracy and reporting
  • Can lead a finance team while remaining hands-on when needed
  • Understand both the technical and operational sides of accounting
  • Proactively identify financial risks and control weaknesses
  • Can translate complex financial information into clear executive insights
  • Build scalable processes instead of relying on manual workarounds
  • Hold yourself and your team to high standards for accuracy and deadlines
  • Are comfortable partnering directly with senior leadership
  • Approach financial controls as a way to improve both accuracy and business decision-making

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You might start by reviewing close progress, reconciliations, cash position, and outstanding accounting items.

Throughout the day, you’ll review financial statements and journal entries, analyze variances, collaborate with FP&A and executive leadership, respond to audit or compliance requirements, and provide guidance to accounting team members.

You’ll also work on longer-term improvements such as ERP optimization, automation, internal controls, and accounting SOPs.

In short: you own the financial control environment—ensuring leadership has accurate numbers, reliable processes, and clear financial visibility.

Key Metrics for Success

  • Month-end close completed within 5 business days
  • Accurate and timely financial statements
  • Zero material audit adjustments
  • 100% on-time compliance and required filings
  • Strong balance sheet reconciliation accuracy
  • Reliable cash flow and liquidity visibility
  • Improved accounting workflow efficiency
  • High-performing and accountable finance team
  • Clear, actionable financial insights for leadership

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Full ownership of a high-impact accounting function
  • Direct collaboration with executives and senior leadership
  • Opportunity to influence financial and operational decision-making
  • Meaningful accounting team leadership responsibility
  • Opportunity to improve ERP systems, controls, and accounting processes
  • Fully remote environment
  • Growth potential into:
  • Senior Controller
  • Corporate Controller
  • VP of Finance
  • Broader Finance Leadership
