ASG Operating Company Controller

Job Description

We are seeking experienced Controllers to take on critical finance leadership roles across ASG's portfolio of PE-backed SaaS businesses. As an Operating Company Controller, you will own the financial infrastructure of a growing operating company, spanning close operations, compliance, board reporting, and M&A support, while partnering closely with CFOs and executive teams to drive financial excellence and support scale.

This is a high-ownership role suited to someone who combines technical accounting depth with the operational instincts to build scalable finance infrastructure in a fast-moving environment. You'll also be part of ASG's broader finance community, sharing best practices and expertise across a portfolio of businesses at different stages and verticals.

You're Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will:

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process end-to-end, driving toward a sub-5 business day cycle without sacrificing accuracy or control
• Prepare and deliver financial statements, board reporting packages, and investor-grade financial reporting that PE sponsors and lenders rely on
• Build and maintain the SaaS metrics layer, including ARR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, and Rule of 40, in close partnership with the CFO and FP&A
• Apply and enforce authoritative US GAAP across complex areas including ASC 606 (revenue recognition), ASC 842 (leases), and ASC 830 (foreign currency)
• Manage multi-entity consolidations, intercompany eliminations, and foreign currency translation across international operations
• Serve as the primary liaison for external audits, maintaining strong internal controls and SOX-lite or full SOX readiness
• Lead multi-state sales tax compliance (SALT), including nexus determinations and indirect tax workflows using tools like Anrok, Avalara, or TaxJar
• Oversee payroll accounting across multiple states and jurisdictions, including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
• Navigate international indirect tax compliance, including Canadian GST/HST, European VAT, and applicable local statutory requirements
• Lead accounting across multiple geographies, coordinating with local finance teams, third-party bookkeepers, or shared service centers
• Support M&A activity including financial due diligence, purchase accounting, and post-close integration
• Drive ERP implementation and optimization (Sage Intacct strongly preferred; NetSuite also valued)
• You'll get to explore and apply AI tools in your day-to-day work, finding new ways to simplify tasks, accelerate outcomes, and elevate your effectiveness

We're Excited About You Because:

• You are a CPA (required), with a strong technical accounting foundation, ideally from Big 4 or a national firm
• You have deep, authoritative knowledge of US GAAP, including ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 830, and consolidation standards
• You have a proven track record owning and improving close processes in a PE-backed environment, with experience building board and investor reporting packages
