Corporate Controller

The company is seeking a senior Regional / Corporate Controller to take ownership of the residential finance function and professionalize the accounting and financial infrastructure across its residential brands.

This is a high impact, hands on leadership position designed for someone who has already operated successfully at the Controller level and has the capability to ultimately step into a CFO role. The current CFO has transitioned into a fractional capacity and will continue supporting higher level responsibilities such as banking and private equity reporting.

The incoming Controller will operate as a "CFO lite" internally, with significant autonomy and direct exposure to the CEO, operating leadership, TriVest, banking relationships, and future M&A activity. For the right individual, there is a genuine pathway to become CFO within approximately 12 to 24 months , based on performance and the successful completion of key finance transformation initiatives.

The immediate focus will be the residential operations, particularly the Coral Springs / Fort Lauderdale market. The successful candidate will be expected to stabilize the finance organization, standardize processes, strengthen controls, improve reporting, and establish a repeatable model that can be deployed across future acquisitions.

This is not a developmental Controller position. The company needs an experienced finance leader who can immediately operate at a high level, get into the details, make difficult decisions, and build the infrastructure required for continued growth.
