The Controller is Omnidian’s senior accounting leader and a core member of the leadership team. This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll partner directly with the CFO and business leaders across the company to build scalable accounting infrastructure, drive accounting strategy, and ensure Omnidian is audit-ready and transaction-ready at every stage of growth.
You’ll own the accounting function end-to-end — consolidations, close, compliance, audit, tax, and systems — while also serving as a forward-looking thought partner on how AI and automation can structurally improve how we operate. You will manage and develop a team of 4–8, including the Assistant Controller.
This role is for someone who is technically excellent, builds genuine relationships across the business, and sees accounting not as a reporting function but as a strategic enabler of growth.
What You’ll Do
- Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close for US and Australian entities with speed, accuracy, and continuous process improvement.
- Prepare and own consolidated financial statements under US GAAP, including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency consolidation, and technical accounting positions.
- Deliver timely, reliable reporting to the CFO, Board, and investors.
- Own the external audit relationship and process; drive clean, on-time completions across all jurisdictions.
- Maintain and continuously strengthen the internal control environment, building audit-ready accounting infrastructure appropriate for a company approaching a strategic transaction — whether that’s M&A, a PE recapitalization, a debt raise, or an IPO.
- Manage compliance across sales, use, and property tax obligations in multiple states and internationally.
- Ensure compliance with bank covenants and investor reporting requirements.
- Lead the accounting technology roadmap — optimizing NetSuite, evaluating AI-native tools, and building automation into the close, reconciliation, and reporting workflows.
- Actively identify and implement new methods that reduce manual effort and increase analytical value; bring genuine curiosity and urgency to this agenda.
- Partner with FP&A, Engineering, and Operations on cross-functional system integration.
- Manage and develop the accounting team, including the Assistant Controller; build a high-performance culture with clear accountability and genuine career development.
- Serve as a trusted accounting partner to business leaders across Sales, Product, Operations, Legal, and HR — translating accounting realities into actionable guidance.
- Partner with the CFO on M&A, debt financing, tax strategy, and investor relations as needed.
- Collaborate with external tax advisors on provisions, filings, and strategic tax planning.
At Omnidian we believe in trust and autonomy. How you create an impact is ultimately up to you. Here is an outline of some of the things you’ll be doing:
Financial Reporting & Close
Audit, Compliance & Controls
Systems & AI Enablement
Team & Cross-Functional Leadership
Who You Are
You’re a systems thinker who builds for scale, not just for today. You’re a relationship builder who earns trust with business partners by being both rigorous and accessible. You embrace AI and new methods as a genuine competitive advantage — you don’t wait to be asked. You’re direct, you operate with urgency, and you can translate technical accounting complexity into clear decisions for non-accounting leaders.
You’ve closed clean audits, survived due diligence, and know exactly what investors and acquirers will scrutinize when the time comes.
You won’t be successful here if you need a stable, fully-built environment. You will thrive if you want to build something, own it, and lead a team that’s proud of what Accounting stands for inside the company.
Experience You'll Need
- 12+ years of progressive accounting experience; 3+ years in a Controller or senior accounting leadership role.
- Deep US GAAP expertise: consolidations, intercompany transactions, revenue recognition under ASC 606, and international subsidiary accounting.
- Demonstrated ability to operate in a high-growth, multi-entity environment — you’ve built systems that scale, not just maintained ones that existed.
- Proven track record managing and developing accounting teams.
- CPA required.
- NetSuite proficiency; advanced Excel/Google Sheets.
Experience That's a Plus
- Experience at a Series B–D company that went through a significant transaction — M&A, PE investment, debt raise, IPO, or similar — and understands what transaction-ready books actually require under due diligence conditions.
- Prior exposure to service-based, field operations, or tech-enabled service businesses (electrical contractors, field service, SaaS, or similar).
- Experience in clean energy, renewables, or sustainability-focused businesses.
- Hands-on experience with AI tools and automation in accounting workflows — not theoretical, but actually implemented.
- Audit experience in a Big 4 or national firm environment.
- International accounting experience (Australia or other English-speaking jurisdictions a plus).
