A well-established Los Angeles-based educational institution with high visitor traffic, public programs, and multiple earned-revenue streams, is hiring a hands-on Controller to lead core accounting operations, tighten close discipline, and bring structure to a busy, high-transaction environment. This is a true controllership seat (GAAP, close, audit, controls), not an FP&A/strategy-first finance role.
Job Responsibility:
Own the month-end close end-to-end and ensure consistent, on-time reporting
Lead the organization’s audit process (PBC, auditor management, issue resolution)
Strengthen accounting policies, internal controls, and process rigor in a midstream environment
Manage and mentor a small accounting team (including oversight of AP workflow and discipline)
Support accurate accounting for diverse revenue sources (programs, events, memberships, contributions, etc.)
Improve reporting structure and help optimize how subledgers and operational systems map to the GL
Requirements:
Proven, hands-on Controller / Accounting Lead experience with true ownership of close + GL
Strong GAAP foundation and confidence operating as the technical accounting owner
Audit leadership experience (you’ve run audits, not just participated)
People leadership (managed 3+), with a track record of elevating team capabilities
Comfortable stepping into a messy / transitional environment and bringing order quickly
Able to work fully onsite in Los Angeles
Nice to have:
CPA (strong plus)
Nonprofit experience, 990 exposure, fund accounting, restricted funds
Experience in organizations with multiple revenue lines and high transaction volume
Familiarity with Blackbaud/Financial Edge or comparable systems
Subledger integration / reporting improvements partnering with IT or consultants
