Global Controller
Camino Search, Dallas, TX, United States
We’ve partnered with a global, software‑focused holding company (~$700M in annual revenue) to hire a Global Controller. This role supports a rapidly growing, multi‑brand division operating across North America, EMEA, and APAC and plays a critical role in enabling continued growth, acquisition integration, and operational rigor.
This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned, hands‑on accounting leader to step into a highly visible role within a complex, high‑expectation environment. The position is based in Dallas, TX with a hybrid model and periodic global travel.
About the Role
Our client is seeking an experienced VP‑level Global Controller to oversee all accounting and controllership activities across a portfolio of integrated software and technology businesses.
The scope includes external and internal reporting, audits, global close, compliance, internal controls, and the leadership of a global accounting organization spanning the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. The environment includes multiple legal entities, differing regulatory requirements, and close partnership with a very hands‑on European parent company with strict governance and reporting deadlines.
This is a high‑impact, tactical leadership role with meaningful influence over systems, structure, and post‑acquisition integration.
Key Responsibilities
Own global accounting operations across all brands within the division, including monthly, quarterly, and annual close
Lead and scale a global accounting organization (~30 team members) spanning:
AP and AR
Staff and senior accountants
Regional Controllers (Americas and EMEA)
Shared Services (including a growing India‑based team)
Ensure compliance with US GAAP and IFRS, including reporting in USD and EUR
Manage all external audits, internal audits, and regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions
Own SOX, internal controls, and global compliance frameworks
Partner closely with parent‑company leadership to meet strict reporting timelines and governance standards
Lead accounting for M&A activity, including:
Integration planning
Purchase accounting
Post‑close entity and system integration
Play a key leadership role in a large, complex acquisition currently underway, including restructuring and integration efforts
Drive process standardization across entities that are not fully integrated today
Support and help lead a NetSuite to Microsoft / M365 ERP transition
Act as a trusted partner to Finance, FP&A, Tax, Legal, and Operations leaders globally
Identify and implement opportunities to improve efficiency, structure, and scalability of the accounting function
Ideal Candidate Profile
15+ years of progressive accounting experience
Prior experience as a VP, Corporate Controller, or Global Controller
Strong background in software or technology companies
Demonstrated experience managing complex, global legal entity structures
Extensive experience with M&A, integrations, and post‑acquisition accounting
Hands‑on experience managing large‑scale audits and regulatory requirements
Deep knowledge of US GAAP, IFRS, SOX, and internal controls
Big 4 public accounting background strongly preferred
Experience operating within a division reporting to a European‑based parent company preferred
ERP transformation experience (NetSuite, Dynamics, or similar)
Collaborative, execution‑oriented leadership style with the ability to operate tactically and strategically
