CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CONTROLLER

ENVITA | Full-Time | On-Site | Scottsdale, Arizona

Compensation: $115,000-$165,000 base salary | Performance-based bonus opportunity

Reports to: Director of Accounting

About the Opportunity

Envita is seeking an exceptionally organized, hands-on financial professional to serve as the Corporate Governance Controller for our management company.

This is not a traditional Corporate Governance Controller position. The role combines controller-level accounting responsibility, corporate governance, executive financial reporting, payroll administration, entity management, and financial operations into one highly visible position.

As responsibilities continue transitioning into the management company, this individual will effectively function as its controller. The successful candidate will own the management company’s day-to-day accounting operations while maintaining the integrity of corporate structure and becoming a trusted partner to the Director of Accounting and executive leadership.

The right person will be equally comfortable preparing an executive financial package, reconciling accounts, processing payroll, reviewing cash flow, maintaining corporate records, coordinating with outside advisors, and improving financial controls and reporting.

Why This Role Exists

As Envita continues to expand across multiple healthcare businesses, operating companies, and emerging opportunities, the complexity of its financial and administrative operations is increasing. With additional responsibilities transitioning into the management company, Envita needs a single accountable professional who can:

• Establish clear ownership of the management company’s accounting operations.
 • Maintain accurate and current corporate-governance documentation.
 • Protect the financial and administrative integrity of Envita’s multi-entity structure.
 • Deliver timely, accurate, and decision-ready financial information to executive leadership.
 • Coordinate effectively with legal, tax, banking, and other external advisors.

The Opportunity to Make an Impact

The Corporate Governance Controller will help build the financial and governance foundation supporting a sophisticated, growing organization. Rather than simply maintaining an established accounting function, this person will evaluate current processes, clarify ownership, improve controls, organize corporate records, increase reporting visibility, and create scalable systems.

The successful candidate will become one of the organization’s most trusted financial and administrative partners.

Key Performance Objectives

1. Assume Full Ownership of Management-Company Accounting

Within the first 90 days, develop a complete understanding of the management company’s financial operations, reporting requirements, banking relationships, payroll processes, affiliated entities, and accounting workflows.

By the end of the first year:

• Maintain accurate, current, and audit-ready accounting records.

2. Build a Reliable Corporate-Governance and Entity-Management System

Within the first three months, establish a centralized, organized, and dependable system for maintaining corporate records across the organization’s legal entities, including operating and management agreements, corporate resolutions, ownership records, loan documents, annual reports, state filings, minute books, and entity-formation or restructuring documents.

Success will be demonstrated by current, easily retrievable documentation, clearly assigned responsibilities, and no preventable missed filing or compliance deadlines.

3. Deliver Accurate Executive Financial Reporting

• Budget-to-actual performance.
• Investment and portfolio reporting.

5. Become a Trusted Financial-Operations Partner

Develop strong working relationships with the Director of Accounting, executive leadership, Human Resources, legal counsel, outside CPAs, tax advisors, investment professionals, insurance providers, and banking partners.

The individual should become known for complete discretion, financial accuracy, strong judgment, reliable follow-through, proactive communication, exceptional organization, timely escalation of risks, practical problem-solving, and personal ownership of results.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a controller-level accounting professional who enjoys wearing multiple hats and can move comfortably between strategic financial responsibilities and detailed execution. They may prepare an executive dashboard in the morning, process payroll or complete a reconciliation in the afternoon, and coordinate a corporate filing with outside counsel before the end of the day.

They naturally take ownership, build systems, improve processes, and ensure commitments are completed without repeated follow-up.

Candidates coming from family offices may be particularly well suited because they are often accustomed to supporting executive leadership, managing multiple legal entities, maintaining confidential financial information, coordinating with outside professionals, and overseeing both high-level financial reporting and detailed accounting work.

Core Competencies

The successful candidate will demonstrate exceptional accountability, financial judgment, attention to detail, discretion, prioritization, organization, and follow-through. They must be comfortable managing competing priorities, communicating proactively, identifying risks, and moving between strategic and tactical responsibilities without losing accuracy or momentum.

Culture and Leadership Alignment

Envita is looking for someone who approaches their work with integrity, humility, professionalism, accountability, and a service-oriented mindset.

• Take personal ownership rather than waiting for direction.
• Communicate emerging risks before they become larger problems.
• Remain calm, organized, and dependable under pressure.
• Treat confidential information with the highest level of discretion.
• Build collaborative relationships while maintaining appropriate controls.
• Welcome feedback and continuously improve.
• Value accuracy without becoming paralyzed by perfection.
• Support leadership with honest, clear, and decision-ready financial information.
• Enjoy helping build sophisticated organizations rather than simply maintaining existing processes.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary of $115,000-$165,000, commensurate with experience.
• Performance-based bonus opportunity.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
• Long-term career-growth opportunity.
• Direct exposure to executive leadership.
• Opportunity to help build the financial and governance infrastructure supporting a sophisticated, growing multi-entity organization.

Why Join Envita?

This is a long-term career opportunity for a financial professional who wants greater ownership, autonomy, variety, and executive visibility than a traditional accounting position typically provides.

You will have the opportunity to become a trusted member of the organization, oversee the financial and governance infrastructure supporting multiple companies, and work directly with leadership on accounting operations, entity management, investments, financial strategy, and organizational growth.

For the right individual, this is an opportunity to help build something meaningful rather than simply inherit and maintain an existing accounting function.
