About the job
Origin Staffing is partnering with a highly regarded, privately held global company to recruit a VP, Corporate Controller for a position driven by company growth. With more than 40 years of history and an established international presence, the organization combines the stability of a mature business with continued investment in its people, financial systems, and operations.
This position will provide leadership across U.S. corporate accounting, financial reporting, and finance operations. You will work alongside an outstanding leader (SVP) and a collaborative team of directors, managers, and accounting professionals, with meaningful exposure to senior leadership and colleagues across the global organization.
This opportunity is well suited to a corporate accounting & finance leader who enjoys developing people, overseeing day-to-day operations, and making a sophisticated finance function work more effectively.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
An established company taking a long-term approach – this is a privately held organization, steady growth, and thoughtful investment in its team. This is an addition to the leadership group to support continued expansion.
Strong leadership and talented colleagues – offering a chance to join a respected finance leader and an experienced, collaborative team that values sound judgment, shared accountability, and strong working relationships.
The opportunity to improve how corporate accounting and finance operates – various financial systems and process-improvement initiatives are already underway, with leadership receptive to practical uses of AI, automation, and better-integrated workflows.
Meaningful rewards and flexibility – the company is offering a competitive compensation package, a long-standing track record of annual bonus and profit-sharing payments, comprehensive benefits.
What You Will Lead
Team leadership and development: Lead and mentor directors, managers, and accounting professionals across corporate accounting and finance operations. Establish clear priorities, develop future leaders, and coordinate effectively with onshore teams and offshore service providers.
Corporate accounting and reporting: Oversee the close and reporting processes across multiple entities, including general ledger activity, account reconciliations, and consolidated and standalone financial statements. Ensure reporting is accurate, timely, and useful to internal and external stakeholders.
Day-to-day finance operations: Provide oversight across accounts payable, accounts receivable, revenue recognition, billing and collections, expense allocations, employee expenses, treasury activities, and payments. Improve coordination across these functions as the business grows.
Controls and audit coordination: Strengthen financial controls, address process gaps, and oversee improvements through completion. Partner with external auditors and internal stakeholders on annual audits, covenant reporting, and applicable regulatory deliverables.
Planning and business partnership: Work closely with FP&A on budgets, forecasts, and longer-term planning, connecting reported results with business performance and helping resolve issues that span accounting, operations, and planning.
Financial systems and process improvement: Help lead initiatives that reduce manual work, improve data quality, and streamline recurring accounting, allocation, payment, and reporting processes. Evaluate and apply automation and AI where they can deliver practical improvements.
C ross-functional and international collaboration: Partner with business-unit finance leaders, regional finance teams, Legal, Tax, Compliance, and other corporate functions. Promote consistent processes while supporting the needs of different businesses and regions.
What You Will Bring
Accounting or Finance, and progressive corporate accounting, financial reporting and finance operations experience, including substantial leadership responsibility.
Public accounting experience is preferred.
CPA / MSA – plus
Broad corporate accounting and finance operations experience in a complex, multi-entity organization, with a strong foundation in U.S. GAAP, consolidated reporting, and tax-basis accounting.
Experience leading managers and developing teams, including oversight of offshore or outsourced partners.
A track record of improving financial systems, workflows, and controls, with the ability to guide teams through change and identify practical applications for automation and AI.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills, sound judgment, and the ability to move between senior-level priorities and hands-on problem-solving.
