Our client is a fast-growing retail company operating 30+ locations across the U.S., with plans to add multiple new locations annually. The business is scaling rapidly, backed by strong leadership and a modern approach to operations. They’re looking for a hands-on, experienced Controller to build structure, improve processes, and bring financial rigor to the company’s next stage of growth.

About the Role
The Financial Controller will oversee all accounting operations, manage a small bookkeeping team, and own the monthly close and reporting process.

The ideal candidate is CPA-qualified, process-driven, and experienced in leading accounting operations for a multi-unit or retail-based business.

• Utilize reporting tools like Fathom (or similar) to produce management reports and dashboards.

• Partner with the CFO and P&L owners to support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.

• Produce accurate, timely financial and management reports to support decision-making.

• Support external auditors during audits and ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP.
  Collaborate cross-functionally with operations and leadership to maintain financial visibility across all laundromat locations.
