Description

The client is seeking a Financial Controller to join their rapidly growing company in the renewable energy sector. The Financial Controller will be responsible for overseeing financial operations, managing accounting functions, and driving strategic financial growth. This role has the potential for growth into the CFO position for the right candidate, especially if they have prior experience in CFO-adjacent roles. Key responsibilities include financial reporting and analysis, budgeting and forecasting, audit and compliance, tax equity and JV entity management, payroll and accounting, system implementation and growth, and leadership and organizational development.

The ideal candidate will have experience in the Renewables sector, with a strong understanding of tax equity and C&I solar projects. Experience in utility-scale or adjacent renewable energy sectors will also be considered. Candidates should have a proven track record in controller and audit-heavy roles, with exposure to complex accounting functions such as budgeting, payroll, JV entity management, and compliance. Familiarity with international tax and the ability to manage state-by-state taxes in the US and internationally is highly desirable. Experience with NetSuite is required for this role.

The Financial Controller should have the ability to work autonomously and influence without authority in a small, geographically dispersed organization. They should possess strategic thinking skills and have the capacity to transition into a CFO role, taking on leadership responsibilities for scaling financial operations as the company grows. Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential for engaging with key stakeholders across various departments.
