Position Overview

TN HomeBuyers is seeking an experienced, hands-on Controller to independently lead our accounting operations across multiple business entities.

This is an accounting leadership role for someone who has already demonstrated the ability to run an accounting department, maintain accurate financial records, manage cash reporting, deliver timely financial statements, and establish effective internal controls.

The Controller will take ownership of the accounting function, lead the month-end close, oversee daily accounting workflows, and establish the processes and support structure necessary for an accurate, efficient, and dependable Finance department.

We are looking for someone who can do more than maintain clean books. The right candidate has a demonstrated history of improving accounting processes, strengthening financial controls, developing accounting personnel, and providing leadership with reliable financial information to support business decisions.

This position requires sound technical accounting knowledge, strong business judgment, and the ability to identify issues, implement solutions, and maintain accountability without constant executive oversight.

We are looking for someone who has successfully led an accounting function and knows how to make it better.

Duties include:

• Own the month-end close and financial reporting process across multiple business entities, including general ledger reviews, reconciliations, financial statements, and timely completion of established closing deadlines.
• Oversee QuickBooks accounting, banking activity, accounts payable and receivable, intercompany transactions, and routine bookkeeping workflows while ensuring accuracy and appropriate delegation.
• Manage payroll accounting and execution controls across multiple entities, including commissions, bonuses, benefits-related liabilities, retirement contributions, reconciliations, and required reporting.
• Prepare and coordinate wires, ACH payments, acquisition closings, construction draws, and other financial transactions through established approval procedures and dual-control requirements.
• Own weekly cash reporting and rolling cash forecasts, providing leadership with accurate visibility into cash positions, upcoming obligations, and potential financial risks.
• Prepare and validate financial reporting, including P&L statements, balance sheets, budget-to-actual comparisons, variance analysis, and project-level financial information.
• Lead and develop accounting support personnel, establish clear responsibilities and performance expectations, inspect work quality, and determine appropriate bookkeeping and administrative support needs.
• Coordinate annual accounting and compliance requirements, including tax reporting support, 1099s, audits, fixed asset schedules, and applicable entity filings.
• Improve accounting systems, internal controls, documentation, automation, and financial workflows to increase efficiency, accuracy, and reporting reliability.
• Proactively identify and communicate financial discrepancies, risks, process failures, and missed deadlines while driving issues to resolution.

Ideal Candidate Experience and Skill-Sets

• Minimum five years of progressive accounting experience, including demonstrated independent ownership of month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
• Proven ability to lead an accounting department or function, supervise accounting personnel, delegate responsibilities, and maintain accountability for deadlines, accuracy, and financial controls.
• Strong experience with multi-entity accounting, payroll, cash management, accounts payable and receivable, and financial reporting.
• Demonstrated success improving accounting processes, internal controls, reporting accuracy, operational efficiency, or financial systems.
• Advanced QuickBooks proficiency, strong Excel skills, and experience implementing or improving accounting and reporting systems.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge with the ability to prepare and interpret financial statements, identify discrepancies, and communicate financial information clearly to leadership.
• Experience in real estate investment, construction, property management, or another transaction-intensive business strongly preferred.
• CPA or CMA preferred but not required; demonstrated technical capability, accounting leadership, and measurable accomplishments are more important than credentials alone.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, sound judgment, discretion, and the ability to manage multiple accounting priorities independently.
• High personal accountability, proactive communication, and a demonstrated record of consistently delivering accurate financial information on time.
