Corporate Controller

PE-Backed Healthcare Services Platform \| South Florida \| Hybrid (4 days in-office)

Reports to CFO \| Direct line to CEO and PE Sponsor \|Build-out seat

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established and growing private equity-backed healthcare platform with a multi-entity consolidation, an active M\&A pipeline, ground-floor systems buildout, and direct line of sight to the CFO, CEO, and sponsor board. This is not a steady-state role. It is the operator-grade build-out seat behind a healthcare services rollup with a clear runway to the next stage.

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

• Build-out Controller seat at a PE-backed healthcare services platform consolidating a fragmented South Florida market
• Direct line to the CFO, the CEO (proven PE-backed healthcare services operator), and the sponsor's deal team. Quarterly board-level visibility; not three layers removed.
• Active M\&A pipeline. Sponsor is publicly committed to continued add-on acquisitions. The Controller owns opening balance sheets, COA mapping, payroll cutover, and 100-day integration plans for each tuck-in.
• Ground-floor Business Central 365 \+ Paylocity buildout. Architect the systems backbone of a multi-entity platform, do not inherit and maintain someone else's.
• Career-defining trajectory. At platform stage, the Controller seat is the natural runway to VP Finance / CFO scope as enterprise value scales.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

This is not a steady-state Controller seat. The platform is still being assembled, and the Controller is being hired to build — not maintain.

• Build, don't maintain

.

The close process, control environment, consolidated reporting package, and ERP backbone are being designed now. The Controller architects them, not inherits them.

• Sponsor and board exposure

.

Direct line to the PE deal team and board. Quarterly results, integration progress, and KPI dashboards presented firsthand.

• M\&A integration scope.

Each incoming tuck-in is the Controller's to integrate end to end, opening balance sheet through reporting cutover.

• Operational influence

.

True business partner role with the CEO, COO, and operations leadership. Branch-level P\&Ls in operators' hands. Finance at the table, not behind it.

• Career trajectory

.

At platform stage, this seat is the natural stepping stone to VP Finance / CFO scope as the business scales.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Multi-entity consolidation across 10 legal entities

.

Design and run a clean, repeatable monthly close and consolidated reporting package. Harmonize chart of accounts, accounting policies, and reporting standards across the platform.

• GAAP financial reporting and audit readiness

.

Own monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting to the sponsor. Serve as primary liaison to the external audit and deliver a clean year-end.

• Internal controls and policy environment

.

Design and maintain a control framework appropriate for a 10-entity platform with active M\&A and continued growth.

• ERP and systems buildout — Business Central 365 and Paylocity

.

Lead the implementation, integration, and reporting layer. Build the systems backbone that supports the next three to five years of platform growth.

• M\&A integration leadership

.

Opening balance sheets, COA mapping, payroll cutover, and policy harmonization for each tuck-in. Own the financial side of the 100-day plan.

• Operational finance partnership

.

Build branch-level P\&L reporting. Translate financial outputs into operational decisions in partnership with operations leadership.

• Team leadership and buildout

.

Lead and develop the existing accounting and revenue cycle team. Recruit senior talent in year one to scale the function alongside the platform.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE — FIRST 12-18 MONTHS

• Clean, repeatable monthly close completed by business day 10 across all 10 entities.
• Clean year-end audit delivered on schedule, with sponsor-grade reporting cadence in place.
• Business Central 365 and Paylocity stood up, tuned, and producing branch-level P\&Ls in operators' hands weekly.
• At least one add-on acquisition fully integrated into the consolidated reporting package.
• Accounting and revenue cycle team strengthened with at least one senior hire and a clear development path for existing staff.
• Internal controls documented and operating; sponsor and CFO confident in the financial reporting infrastructure as the next phase of M\&A executes.
