About the Role

We are a growing, services-based recruiting firm seeking a Fractional Controller to design and oversee our financial reporting, profitability analysis, and forecasting. We already work with a bookkeeping firm that handles day-to-day transactions. This role is about financial structure, insight, and decision support, not data entry.

This is a fractional engagement with the potential to evolve as the business scales.

Define accounting structure for profitability by search, client, and recruiter
Establish cost allocation logic for recruiter compensation, overhead, and shared expenses
Define monthly close process and reporting cadence in partnership with the bookkeeper
Build core financial models, including:
Search and client-level profitability
Recruiter productivity and margin analysis
Cash flow forecasting
Hiring and headcount impact scenarios

Review monthly close prepared by the bookkeeping firm
Deliver management reporting with clear insights, not just financial statements
Maintain and update forecasts and scenario models
Act as a finance thought partner for hiring, growth, and cash decisions
Ensure consistency and accuracy across reporting periods

Not bookkeeping or transaction entry
Not payroll processing
Not AR/AP execution
Not tax preparation

This role is explicitly focused on designing financial systems and interpreting results, not recording activity.

What We’re Looking For

Prior experience as a Controller, Senior Controller, or Finance Lead
Strong GAAP and accrual accounting foundation
Demonstrated FP&A experience, including forecasting, scenario modeling, and variance analysis
Experience supporting professional services, recruiting, or project-based businesses
Proven ability to build and maintain:
Profitability models by client, project, or service line
Cash flow and hiring forecasts used for real decisions
Comfort working with QuickBooks or Xero data
Ability to translate financial data into clear, actionable guidance for operators
