Controller

Are you a hands‑on accounting leader who likes ownership, clean processes, and making things run the right way?

ITPartners+ is looking for a Controller to own day‑to‑day accounting operations and bring consistency, discipline, and clarity to our close, billing, and accounting workflows. This is a hands-on operational role where you will prepare work, review work, and improve how accounting gets done.

If you enjoy being close to the details, building reliable processes, and serving as the steady owner of accounting execution, this role is for you.

Who We Are

ITPartners+ is a rapidly growing Managed Services Provider and a multi‑year Best and Brightest Companies to Work For. Our core values, Do Great Work, Think Big, and Make IT Fun, guide how we operate, grow, and support our team.

We believe strong financial discipline enables smart growth. This role plays a critical part in helping our leadership team make confident, informed decisions.

Who You Are

You take ownership and follow through.
You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves while also reviewing and guiding others.
You care about accuracy, organization, and building repeatable processes that work.

You do not just close the books. You make the close better every month.

What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)

3. Protect Revenue & Support Billing and AR Integrity
   Serve as an accounting watchdog over billing, AR, credits, cash application, and recurring revenue — actively identifying exceptions, gaps, and leakage risk.
4. Improve Accounting Operations Through Leadership & Automation
   Coordinate accounting workflows, assign ownership, and introduce practical automation or AI‑enabled tools that improve follow‑up and reliability without weakening controls.

1. Merger + Acquisition Accounting Ownership
