Controller

Prequel Solutions • Pittsburgh, PA • Full Time

Posted on Fri, Nov 13, 2026

 Job Description:

This Controller opportunity is with an established, growing outsourced accounting services organization. This newly created position will work directly with the CEO, overseeing the company's internal finances across multiple entities. It is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on accounting leader who enjoys owning the full financial picture, improving processes, and working with a high-performing team.

This is an internal corporate finance position, not a client-facing outsourced accounting assignment. The organization offers genuine schedule flexibility and primarily remote work, with occasional meetings in Pittsburgh's South Side.

What You'll Do

Own cash-flow visibility, short- and longer-range cash projections, liquidity planning, and timing of significant expenses.

Lead budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and management reporting across multiple business entities.

Oversee the integrity of the full accounting cycle and review the work of an existing accountant; routine transaction entry is handled separately.

Monitor and review payroll-related financial data and multistate payroll compliance coordination.

Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve financial controls, and create useful reporting for leadership.

Partner closely with the CEO on financial decisions, confidential information, and periodic owner-related reporting.

Provide operational support on accounting tools and workflows when needed.

What You Bring

Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, or a closely related field.

Approximately 5–10 years of progressively responsible accounting experience, including meaningful ownership of the full accounting cycle.

Prior controllership, assistant controllership, or managerial accounting responsibilities; title is less important than scope.

Demonstrated expertise in cash management, cash-flow forecasting, budgeting, and advanced Excel.

Experience working across multiple entities or complex account structures.

A proactive, adaptable, collaborative style and the ability to work with limited supervision.

Helpful, but Not Required

Experience in a small or midsize organization where you owned a broad range of accounting responsibilities.

Bill.com experience; NetSuite familiarity is a plus.

Experience supporting financial operations in a growing, changing business.
