Corporate Controller

SLTC Ultimate Holdings, a private equity-backed, multi-state operating company, is looking for an experienced Corporate Controller to lead our accounting function during a period of significant growth. We're expanding through both acquisitions and greenfield locations, and we need a hands-on leader who can build the systems, controls, and team structure to support that scale.

This role reports directly to the CFO and serves as a key point of contact for our PE sponsor, auditors, tax advisors, and lenders.

What You'll Do

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process across all locations
• Prepare board reporting, KPI dashboards, and covenant compliance packages for the PE sponsor
• Ensure consistent GAAP application across all entities and locations
• Manage multi-entity, multi-state consolidation, including intercompany eliminations
• Supervise and develop staff accountants, AR specialists, and AP staff across the corporate office and other locations
• Standardize accounting policies, procedures, and chart of accounts as new locations come online
• Building reporting cadences to manage a distributed, multi-site team

M&A Integration

• Support financial due diligence on acquisition targets
• Lead accounting integration for newly acquired businesses - opening balance sheets, systems conversion, chart of accounts mapping, and policy alignment
• Build standardized integration playbooks to speed up onboarding of acquired entities

Greenfield Expansion

• Design scalable accounting processes and controls for new locations
• Coordinate banking, tax registration, payroll, and systems setup for new sites
• Train new-location accounting staff on corporate policy and systems

Controls & Compliance

• Implement and monitor internal controls companywide
• Manage the external audit relationship and lead the annual audit process
• Ensure multi-state tax compliance (income, sales/use, payroll) alongside tax advisors

Systems & Process Improvement

• Drive ERP optimization and standardization across a growing multi-location environment
• Lead process improvement initiatives to speed up close and reconciliation cycles

Treasury & Analysis

• Support cash management across multiple entities and bank accounts
• Partner with the CFO on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field (Master's preferred)
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including multi-entity or multi-location environments
• 5+ years in a Controller or senior accounting leadership role
• Private equity-backed company experience strongly preferred
• Hands-on experience with M&A due diligence and post-acquisition integration
• Proven experience managing accounting teams
• Strong command of GAAP, internal controls, and multi-state tax compliance
• Advanced Excel skills; strong Netsuite experience

What Makes You a Great Fit

• A leader who can manage and grow teams across multiple sites
• Comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of a high-growth, PE-backed environment
• Able to explain complex accounting concepts to non-financial stakeholders
• Detail-oriented but equally capable of strategic, big-picture thinking on scaling systems
• High integrity, sound judgment, and a strong sense of ownership
