About the Role
As Controller, you will own the finance function, ensuring all financial transactions are managed accurately and efficiently. This hands-on role involves taking ownership of existing processes, building scalable systems and controls, and eventually developing an accounting team to support the company's growth from a single project to a multi-GW platform.
Responsibilities
- Own accounts payable end to end, including invoice verification, approval routing, and timely payment execution.
- Implement robust payment controls to prevent fraud, including vendor master data verification, bank detail change verification, and dual approvals for large payments.
- Manage accounts receivable, including issuing POs and invoices, tracking payment terms, and handling collections.
- Execute the monthly close process, including reconciliations, accruals, intercompany entries, and delivering GAAP financial statements.
- Oversee project cost accounting, tracking actuals against budget, managing retainage and lien waivers, and providing real-time spend visibility.
- Collaborate with tax advisors to maintain equipment cost basis and tax credit documentation, supporting audits and reporting.
- Manage cash across operating and project accounts, including banking relationships, cash forecasting, and ensuring sufficient funding for payments.
- Select and implement the finance stack, including ERP, AP, and expense tooling, and build the accounting team as transaction volume increases.
Requirements
- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with full ownership of a monthly close.
- Hands-on experience with accounts payable and receivable at significant volume, including PO matching, approval workflows, payment execution, customer billing, and collections.
- Proficiency in payment fraud controls, including vendor bank-detail verification processes and approval matrices.
- Strong GAAP fundamentals, including experience with accruals, capitalization, and multi-entity/intercompany accounting.
- Experience implementing or administering an ERP system (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct) and modern AP/expense tooling.
- Extreme attention to detail and the ability to take full ownership in a fast-paced, ambiguous, early-stage environment.
- Comfort with construction or energy project accounting, including WIP, percentage-of-completion, retainage, and job cost codes.
- Experience with SPV or project-entity consolidation, lender draw requests, and investor reporting.
- Experience with ITC or tax credit basis documentation.
- Experience as the first finance hire at a startup or Big 4 audit training with energy/construction clients.
