Controller
WHO WE ARE:
Executive Allies launched in Idaho's Treasure Valley in January 2021. We're still growing fast, and this is still a ground-floor seat with real leadership behind it. We provide virtual Controller and CFO services so business owners get the financial insight they need to scale their companies and capture the revenue opportunities in front of them, instead of guessing at their numbers.
At Executive Allies, we make knowledge accessible.
We'll walk you through our core values in the interview. Here they are up front: Ownership, Responsiveness, Fun Socks, Inspire Trust, Providing the Best Value, and Engaging with Empathy.
THE ROLE
As a Controller, you become part of the financial team for 6 to 8 clients each month. You lead their month-end close and consolidation, build the reporting package their leadership team reviews, and dig into the numbers that actually drive their business, so you can tell them what's working and what needs attention.
This role has real room to grow. Controllers who take ownership of their clients and their craft can move toward Fractional CFO work, providing meaningful strategies for success to our clients.
You'll also get exposure to the broader Virtual CFO toolkit: financial forecasting tied to a client's strategy, industry benchmarking, team compensation planning, and managing lending relationships.
