Job Description

Controller, Accounting Operations – FP&A

Urrly

• Own day-to-day accounting operations across payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, reconciliations, month-end close, and reporting workflows. • Lead the close process with a focus on speed, accuracy, reviewability, and repeatability. • Maintain clean financial records that support leadership reporting, board reporting, audit readiness, and future lender-related data requests. • Oversee and develop one direct report in a senior accountant/accounting specialist capacity. • Build and improve financial reporting packages so leadership can review results earlier, identify insights faster, and make better decisions. • Support monthly variance analysis, fluctuation analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and longer-term planning exercises. • Help prepare operational finance inputs for board reporting, annual budgeting, sponsor-backed reporting, audit readiness, and valuation-related needs. • Assess the current finance and accounting tech stack and help determine what should be automated, upgraded, or replaced over time. • Help integrate accounting operations for a recently acquired business line currently relying on informal or part-time bookkeeping support.

Job Requirements

  • Strong Controller-level experience owning accounting operations in a smaller or mid-sized business where finance and accounting responsibilities are not overly siloed.
  • Comfortable being accountable for the GL, close, reporting accuracy, and accounting process discipline.
  • Meaningful exposure to FP&A, forecasting, variance analysis, budgeting, or board reporting, even if your core strength is still accounting.
  • Worked in a sponsor-backed, PE-backed, VC-backed, or similarly high-accountability environment where speed, reporting quality, and leadership visibility matter.
  • Experience with professional services, project-based accounting, fixed-price services revenue, or other operationally complex revenue models.
  • Support a business with a mix of services and subscription-style revenue, even if project-based accounting has been the more complex part of your background.
  • Participated in acquisition integration work before or have strong adjacent experience organizing new entities, business lines, systems, and reporting flows.
  • Comfortable working directly with senior finance leadership and being a reliable leverage point for better reporting, analysis, and operating cadence.
  • Hands-on, fast, precise, and willing to improve the process while still doing the underlying accounting work well.
