Controller (accounting exp. req.) Description

Our client, an environmental services provider, is searching for an analytical and growth-minded Controller to join their team (40 company-wide; 20m revenue) in Chico, CA.

This is your chance to become a valued partner to a profitable, mission-driven company.

Who you are:

You value your role in providing strategic direction and financial expertise, especially to smaller businesses where your influence and impact are uncapped. You understand the balance between safeguarding resources while being nimble and creative to help achieve growth. Although you champion an environment with structure, you have an insatiable appetite for continuous improvement and do not shy away from being a process disruptor in the spirit of enhancing operations. That's why you embrace new software integration and BI tools that allow you to visualize important patterns and potential gaps. Although you are driven by numbers, you can think beyond a spreadsheet acting as a detective; energized by putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Your inquisitive nature and collaborative spirit have provided an unmatched combination for understanding the whys within an organization. While you enjoy the quiet solitude that can come with mining through ERP systems and completing transactions, you seek company environments that don't just say they're people-focused, they prove it. Ultimately, you gravitate toward leaders who encourage your curiosity and listen to your ideas. And in return, you fiercely protect their business as if it were your own.
