Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Controller to manage the day-to-day financial operations of Carey & Co and support the financial operations of our nonprofit clients. This role is central to our finance function, overseeing accounting processes, reconciliations, and reporting, while directly managing a team of offshore bookkeepers based in the Philippines. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable managing remote and international staff, and ready to grow into greater financial leadership responsibility as the organization scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Accounting Operations: Oversee day-to-day bookkeeping, accounts payable/receivable, reconciliations, and month-end close processes.

  • Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly and quarterly financial statements, reconciliations, and supporting schedules for internal leadership and client review.
  • Process & Controls: Develop and refine accounting procedures and internal controls to ensure accuracy and support scalable growth.
  • Compliance Support: Support adherence to GAAP and nonprofit fund accounting standards; assist with audit and tax preparation as needed.
  • Client & Team Support: Serve as a point of escalation for accounting questions from clients and internal staff, and support interim CFOs and leadership with financial data and analysis.
  • Systems Management: Maintain and optimize the use of QuickBooks Online and related tools across client engagements.

Requirements

  • 8–10 years of progressive accounting/finance experience; nonprofit, consulting, or professional services experience strongly preferred.
  • Prior experience managing or supervising remote and/or international staff (Philippines-based teams a strong plus).
  • Working knowledge of nonprofit fund accounting and GAAP standards.
  • Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel; familiarity with additional ERP systems a plus.
  • Strong organizational skills and comfort operating independently in a fully remote, multi-time-zone environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA preferred.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits

Why Join Carey & Co?

  • Opportunity to support mission-driven organizations making an impact.
  • A growth-track role with a clear path toward expanded financial leadership.
  • Fully remote, flexible work environment.
  • Collaborative and supportive team culture.

Why it works

3×

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.
