The Role
The opening is for a Senior Controller in Washington, DC who sees Empathy as a foundation, not the ceiling. Count it up: 5 years, $127,000 - $188,000, a finance charter, and the kind of Energy Systems Corp growth that compounds.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive the annual planning cycle and consolidate financial projections
- Sharpen month-end close until it runs in days, not weeks
- Close the books each month and ensure accuracy across all entries
- Review contracts and invoices for accuracy before payment release
- Reconcile payroll liabilities so the DC filings never bounce
- Implement and document internal controls to safeguard company assets
- Watch DSO and DPO together, not as isolated numbers
- Stand in for the Washington controller when close cannot wait
What You'll Bring
- 6 years of Financial Statements práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
- A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
- Proven track record delivering results as a Senior Controller
- Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- 7+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions
- Knowledge of DC-specific regulations relevant to finance work
