The Controller serves as the primary bridge between SweetRush and its parent company for all financial reporting and compliance matters. This is a hands-on role. While you will oversee external accountants and coordinate with cross-functional partners, you must be willing and able to roll up your sleeves and execute accounting tasks directly—especially during close and audit cycles. We are looking for a doer who can also lead, not a manager who only delegates. Your Impact and Responsibilities 1. Monthly Close, Reconciliation, and Consolidated Accounting Oversight - Own the monthly close calendar and close sign-off for both US and Costa Rica entities. - Review journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, intercompany activity, and trial balances. - Maintain and calculate revenue and expense provisions at each month-end. - Adjust accruals on the financial statements, including freelancer, expense, and revenue adjustments. - Oversee revenue, payroll, contractor, and project-hours reconciliations across accounting and project management systems; execute these tasks directly during peak periods. - Ensure invoice and payroll databases are updated and reconciled at each month-end close. - Supervise and coordinate external US and Costa Rica accountants under your functional oversight. 2. Audit and Parent-Company Reporting - Lead quarterly external audit processes end-to-end as the primary point of contact. - Own all accounting-related Prepared By Client (PBC) requests. - Own the parent-company reporting package and ensure alignment with parent-company accounting policies. - Absorb and manage the pressure of audit timelines and senior technical stakeholders who may send frequent and detailed inquiries. - Escalate technical accounting matters to the CFO as needed. 3. Process Improvement and Cross-Functional Support - Design and implement new financial processes to drive continuous improvement. - Act as a formal approver within financial workflows (e.g., bank reconciliation approvals, ledger verification). - Support the budget cycle by validating actuals, ensuring accounting consistency, and maintaining financial baseline integrity. - Coordinate with the Finance Operations Lead on close readiness, workflow discipline, and support-file quality. - Collaborate with the Business Intelligence Lead for variance analysis and actual-versus-forecast bridges during close and audit periods. What You Bring Soft Skills and Qualities (Priority) - Hands-On Mentality: Willingness to personally execute accounting tasks alongside supervisory duties—not just delegate. - Resilience: Ability to handle high-pressure audit environments and demanding stakeholders. - Prioritization: Expert ability to manage multiple competing priorities and navigate ambiguity in complex data environments. - Problem Solving: A proactive approach to identifying and resolving technical accounting discrepancies. - Organization: Highly organized in sorting and responding to technical queries. - Communication: Strong written and spoken English is required. Professional and effective communication with senior stakeholders and external parties. Required Skills and Experience Note: While technical qualifications are important, strong soft skills and a demonstrated ability to manage the responsibilities above may be considered in lieu of strict adherence to every technical requirement. - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. - Minimum 7 years of experience in financial reporting, accounting, or a related function. - Previous experience in a supervisory capacity, including oversight of external accountants or service providers. - Advanced English proficiency (written and spoken)—this is a firm requirement. - Advanced Excel proficiency (pivot tables, modeling) and comfort with remote collaboration tools. - Experience with intercompany or parent-subsidiary financial reporting. - Experience supporting external audits as the primary preparer or coordinator. Preferred Skills and Experience - CPA certification or active CPA-track candidacy. - Prior experience at a Big 4 accounting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, or KPMG). - Ability to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and anomalies in financial data, and take initiative to clean, reconstruct, and validate it—comfortable navigating imperfect systems. - Familiarity with QuickBooks, HubSpot, or project management tools such as Celoxis. - Experience with ERP systems beyond QuickBooks (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite). - Experience working within a multinational organization or with a foreign parent company. - Familiarity with Costa Rica labor law and social security (CCSS) reporting requirements. Compensation and Benefits Compensation - Monthly salary: $5,000 USD, reported to Costa Rica social security (CCSS) per local labor law. - Employment under Costa Rica labor law. Non-Monetary Benefits - Private medical insurance. - Two weeks paid time off at the end of each year, in addition to the standard vacation days provided under Costa Rica labor law.
