Role Description We are building a collective of experienced controllers who want to grow into something bigger. This is not a typical fractional controller role. It is a structured path. The controllers who join ROSE at this level gain hands-on experience across multiple client environments, deep exposure to our FaaS model and Easby platform, and direct mentorship from senior CFO-level leaders. For the right person, this is how you build the breadth, confidence, and advisory skills to move into a CFO seat. You will serve as the financial backbone for growing organizations, typically $2M to $50M+, while being part of a team that is redefining what finance looks like. What You'll Do - Own the monthly close process for a portfolio of clients, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit-readiness - Produce financial statements and management reports that clients can actually use to make decisions - Monitor and enforce internal controls, identifying gaps before they become problems - Support DCAA, FAR, and indirect rate compliance for GovCon clients - Work inside Easby to manage transactions, approvals, reconciliations, and reporting workflows - Collaborate with ROSE CFO Members and Controllers to deliver integrated financial management - Support nonprofit clients with grant tracking, membership revenue, and donation accounting, ensuring funds are properly restricted, recognized, and reported - Prepare or support audit-ready financial packages, including schedules and documentation for external auditors and grant compliance reviewers - Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and build more scalable routines - Participate in client-facing meetings, translating financial data into clear, actionable guidance What Makes This Role Different At most firms, a controller closes the books and waits for instructions. At ROSE, you are part of a system designed to do more. - You will not just: - Process transactions - Produce backward-looking reports - Work in isolation - You will: - Build financial infrastructure that scales with your clients - Develop advisory instincts through exposure to CFO-level decision-making - Work with AI tools and automation that eliminate the manual work, so you can focus on what matters - Grow inside a firm that promotes from within and measures your development, not just your output The Path Forward This role was designed with intention. ROSE is growing its Strategic Fractional CFO practice, and we are seeking controllers who are ready to grow with it. Over time, contractors in this role gain: - Exposure to CFO-level strategic work across industries including GovCon, nonprofits, and founder-led growth companies - Training in ROSE's financial management framework, including FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, and performance advisory - Mentorship from senior ROSE CFO Members and Controllers - A defined pathway into fractional CFO engagements for those ready to take on that responsibility Who You Are - 5 to 12 years of accounting or finance experience, with real close ownership and not just support - Hands-on experience with financial reporting, reconciliations, and internal controls - Exposure to GovCon, government contracting compliance, or regulated industries is a strong plus - Experience with nonprofit accounting, including grant management, restricted and unrestricted fund tracking, membership revenue, donor reporting, or audit preparation, is a meaningful differentiator - Comfortable working across multiple client environments simultaneously - Curious about technology, open to learning new platforms, and not attached to doing things the old way - You communicate clearly with non-finance stakeholders and do not hide behind jargon - You are a team player in the real sense: no silos, no hand-offs without context, no single points of failure - You want to grow into more responsibility, not just execute a defined task list Why ROSE - Work with high-growth companies and mission-driven leaders across a range of industries - Be part of a firm redefining finance through FaaS, AI, and Easby - Flexible contractor structure with real mentorship and a path toward fractional CFO work - Collaborate with a team of experts across accounting, tax, compliance, and financial technology - A culture built on honesty, accountability, and genuine investment in your professional development Ready to Build Something? If you are a skilled controller who wants more than a close cycle, and you are ready to grow inside a firm that will invest in your development, we want to talk.
