Role Summary

This position is for a versatile Controller / Bookkeeper who will own the company’s day-to-day accounting while also contributing to general business administration. It is a full-time remote role for someone located in the Franklin, TN area, with occasional travel to the Cordova or Franklin offices as needed.

The job combines practical bookkeeping, financial oversight, and administrative support. It is well suited to a detail-driven professional who is comfortable closing the books, supporting operations, and taking on varied responsibilities in a small business setting. Because the role is broad in scope, the ideal candidate should enjoy working independently, handling multiple responsibilities, and producing accurate, dependable results.

Financial Responsibilities

The accounting portion of the role is central to the position and includes maintaining the general ledger, completing monthly close activities, and preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements. The Controller / Bookkeeper will manage accounts payable and receivable, process and coordinate payroll, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, and monitor cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting.

Additional duties include ensuring adherence to accounting standards, tax obligations, and internal policies; supporting year-end close and audit work; preparing financial reports and analysis for leadership; and identifying ways to improve internal controls and overall efficiency.

Administrative Duties

In addition to accounting, the role includes general administrative support. This may involve keeping records and documentation organized, assisting with client and vendor communication, and helping with daily operational tasks that support leadership and the broader team.

Qualifications

The right candidate should have a strong understanding of accounting fundamentals, financial reporting, and general ledger management, along with practical bookkeeping experience in areas such as AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations. Experience with budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management is valuable, particularly in a small business or administrative services environment.

Proficiency with accounting software such as Xero and strong spreadsheet capability are important. The role also requires a solid grasp of internal controls, audit support, and tax and regulatory compliance, as well as strong organization, attention to detail, and the ability to handle competing priorities and deadlines independently in a remote environment. Clear communication and a collaborative, service-minded approach are also essential.

A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is preferred. A CPA or similar credential is an added advantage but not mandatory. Experience in a Controller, Accounting Manager, Full-Charge Bookkeeper, or comparable role is highly desirable.

Compensation

Pay will be determined based on the candidate’s experience.

Work Arrangement

This is a full-time remote opportunity, with the expectation that the selected candidate is based in the Franklin, TN area and available for occasional travel to the Cordova or Franklin offices when needed.
