Controller

We are looking for an experienced Controller to join the organization in Colorado Springs, Colorado on a Contract basis. This role will take ownership of strengthening accounting operations, improving the reliability of financial reporting, and guiding post-launch remediation work within Sage Intacct. The position requires a hands-on leader who can evaluate current processes, resolve system and accounting gaps, and help establish stable, well-documented practices that support accurate decision-making.

Responsibilities:
• Evaluate the current Sage Intacct environment to uncover issues in setup, data structure, balances, workflows, integrations, and reporting outputs.
• Create and drive a prioritized remediation roadmap, working closely with the external implementation partner to correct deficiencies and deliver practical solutions.
• Oversee testing, defect resolution, process documentation, and internal knowledge sharing to ensure system updates are effective and sustainable.
• Direct year-end close activities and prepare financial statements while reviewing ledger activity, entries, account classifications, and presentation for accuracy.
• Build a more consistent monthly close process by implementing reconciliation routines, review checkpoints, and clear reporting timelines.
• Strengthen project and construction accounting by improving how labor, materials, subcontractor charges, inventory, overhead, and work-in-process are recorded and reported.
• Review grant, restricted funding, contribution, and program accounting to ensure expenses and labor are allocated correctly and reporting aligns with compliance expectations.
• Provide day-to-day leadership to the accounting team by setting priorities, clarifying responsibilities, and communicating progress, risks, and key decisions to leadership.
• Establish practical accounting policies, internal controls, and repeatable procedures that improve audit readiness and long-term financial discipline.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience leading Sage Intacct implementation cleanup, optimization, or post-go-live correction efforts.
• Strong understanding of general ledger management, month-end and year-end close, financial statement preparation, and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve system configuration, mapping, conversion, workflow, and reporting problems.
• Background managing external system partners through troubleshooting, testing, and remediation activities.
• Experience with project accounting, job costing, labor allocation, inventory accounting, and construction-related financial processes.
• Ability to work directly in the accounting system and underlying records with a hands-on approach to problem solving.
• Experience supporting annual external audits and developing accounting policies, controls, and documentation.
• Nonprofit and grant accounting knowledge, including restricted funds, program allocations, and related financial reporting, is preferred.
