Success Matcher is partnering with an early-stage maritime and space company in St. Petersburg, FL that is building offshore launch infrastructure for the modern space industry. They just signed their first full-scale build contract and plan to grow a fleet over the next five years. Now they need a hands-on accounting leader to put structure behind that growth.
What you’ll own
- AP/AR on large capital-project transactions, working with operations during the first build
- The outsourced bookkeeper and the month-end close
- Cash flow, budgeting, budget vs. actuals, and leadership and board reporting
- Upgrading the finance stack and connecting it to operational systems
- Hiring and managing your first AP/AR team member within a quarter or two
What we’re looking for
- 6+ years of experience as a Controller, Accounting Manager or Head of Finance
- A Big Four accounting background and an active CPA
- A bachelor’s degree in Accounting
- Deep, hands-on accounting skills, including month-end close, financial reporting and cash forecasting
- A builder mindset: you can take a blank page and create process, structure and discipline
- Bonus: experience at a startup or in a capital-intensive industry such as aerospace, defense, maritime, energy, construction or manufacturing
Why it’s worth a look
- Founding finance role: you build the function your way, reporting directly to the CEO
- Clear growth path: grow into Head of Finance and build out a team as the company scales
- Equity in a company that is solving a problem no one else has cracked
- A front-row seat to a first-of-its-kind build in the space industry
