Position Summary The Corporate Controller owns the integrity of 1915 South's financial records across all legal entities. The role runs the accounting operation end to end: general ledger, month-end and year-end close, all reconciliations, technical accounting, internal controls, and AP/AR process. This is a build role as much as a stewardship role. 1915 South has recently migrated its general ledger, restructured its class and cost-center reporting, and is integrating an acquisition. The Controller is expected to establish the control environment, documentation, and close discipline a company of this size and complexity requires. The Controller partners closely with FP&A and reports directly to the Chief Finance & Strategy Officer. Key Responsibilities Close and General Ledger • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close calendar; drive close to deadline across all legal entities. • Own multi-entity consolidation and the class and cost-center structure; maintain the chart of accounts and enforce consistent coding. • Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and depreciation with support that will stand up to audit. Reconciliations and Internal Controls • Own the balance-sheet review process: every material account reconciled and tied out monthly, general ledger to subledger, bank, and third-party source. • Establish and operate a documented bank reconciliation control covering all accounts. • Own the monthly reconciliation of the customer deposit subledger to the general ledger. • Establish and maintain internal controls over cash, inventory, and the procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycles, including a documented delegation of authority. Technical Accounting • Own lease accounting under ASC 842, including the schedule and the related-party lease population. • Own the fixed-asset register and depreciation, maintained in the ledger rather than reconstructed at audit. • Own recurring estimates and reserves: inventory reserve, allowance for credit losses, self-insurance IBNR, and goodwill triggering-event assessment. Document the methodology for each. • Own related-party and intercompany account maintenance and the supporting disclosure detail. Financial Reporting • Produce monthly financial statements with variance analysis for leadership review. • Supply tied-out inputs for lender compliance reporting and covenant certificates; label every figure by reporting basis and never blend bases without disclosure. • Serve as the primary liaison to the external audit and tax firms and own the audit request process. Team and Systems • Lead, train, and develop the accounting team including the offshore desk; set priorities, review work, and own the first-level review that establishes segregation of duties. • Serve as the accounting owner for STORIS (retail ERP) and QuickBooks Enterprise; own the integrity of the STORIS-to-ledger flow and partner with the AI and Enterprise Systems team on automation. • Write and maintain documented procedures for every accounting cycle, and build cross-coverage so no critical recurring task depends on one person. Performance Measures 1. Days to close: monthly close complete and reviewed within the published close calendar; reviewed monthly. 2. Balance-sheet integrity: material accounts reconciled and cleared within the close window, with no aged unexplained items; reviewed monthly. 3. Audit remediation: findings&n
