Job Overview:

Be the Controller who builds the function.

We are looking for a hands-on, technically deep Controller who wants to build, not maintain — to own the books for a multi-line financial services business, design the controls and audit posture, lead a team being built around them, and partner with the CFO on the most consequential financial decisions. This is the foundational accounting hire for the next chapter of a 29-year-old company that earned every client it has and is investing to grow.

The Controller owns CapCenter's accounting function end-to-end — the close, the general ledger, US GAAP financial reporting, technical accounting, the external audit, the internal control environment, and the team that delivers it all. You sign off on the books. You are the accounting voice with auditors, regulators, warehouse lenders, and internal business partners. You report to the CFO and partner directly with him on the build-out of CapCenter's accounting and finance function.

Key Responsibilities:

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Active CPA required
• 10+ years of progressive experience, including ownership of a full close cycle and external audit
• Mortgage banking, specialty finance, or other regulated financial services experience strongly preferred
• Deep US GAAP technical accounting skills — ability to research, write, and defend accounting positions
• Demonstrated experience leading an external audit as the named owner from the company side
• Hands-on close experience — comfortable doing the work, not just supervising it
• Clear communicator — able to brief auditors, tax advisors, and operational partners with precision
• Advanced Excel and financial systems proficiency (NetSuite, Sage, or comparable mid-market ERP)
• Demonstrated ability to handle confidential information discreetly and act with professionalism
