Assistant Group Controller

Peoplify, Orlando, FL, United States


We are seeking a highly technical and operationally-minded

The ideal candidate is a

who can navigate the complexities of fund consolidations while ensuring that project-level WIP and manufacturing variances are tracked with precision.
Key Responsibilities

Construction & Manufacturing Oversight

Lead the monthly review of Work-in-Progress (WIP) schedules; ensure accurate revenue recognition via Percentage of Completion (POC) and manage over/under billing (Asset/Liability) cycles.

Cost Accounting:

Oversee manufacturing cost structures, inventory valuations, and variance analysis across portfolio entities.

Sales Tax Compliance:

Maintain nationwide multi-state sales tax filings, nexus registrations, and industrial tax exemptions.

Investment Management & Consolidations

Multi-Entity Consolidation:

Manage the month-end close for a complex hierarchy of entities, ensuring precise inter-company eliminations and equity-method accounting.

Cash Flow & Liquidity:

Develop and maintain rolling cash flow models that account for both investment capital calls and operational project funding.

Audit & Compliance:

Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors; manage the PBC process and maintain a "SOX-ready" internal control environment.

Systems & Projects

Digital Transformation:

Lead accounting software migrations (e.g., QBD to QBO and integrations, i.e. Odoo) and partner with IT to automate reporting.

Financial Reporting:

Prepare consolidated financial statements and contribute to Board of Directors' reporting packages.

Job Requirements

Certification:

Active CPA Designation (Required).

Please provide your license number with your application.

Education:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or Finance.

Experience:

Minimum 7+ years of progressive accounting experience.
Direct experience in Construction and/or Manufacturing is mandatory.

Proven track record in a multi-entity or investment management environment.

Technical Skills:

Advanced Excel (Power Query/Pivot); proficiency in QuickBooks (Desktop and Online) and exposure to larger ERP systems (NetSuite, Sage, or similar).

Why This Role?

This isn't a "back-office" role. You will be instrumental in professionalizing the accounting functions of our various holdings, moving them from legacy systems to a scalable, investment-grade reporting platform.
