About the role

Ledgent is seeking a hands-on Controller to lead accounting operations for a private equity-backed services company. Reporting to the CFO, you will manage the monthly close, financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow reporting, internal controls, and the accounting team. The role is office-based in Houston, requiring deep GAAP knowledge, prior Controller/Accounting Manager experience, and strong ERP/Excel skills.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
