We are seeking an experienced Financial Controller to serve as the operational backbone of our accounting and financial reporting function. This role is critical to maintaining financial integrity, supporting leadership decision-making, and ensuring accurate, transparent financial oversight across our franchisor entity and franchise network.

  • Reconcile franchisee-reported revenue with system data
  • Monitor delinquencies, late fees, and payment plans
  • Ensure clear, defensible, and consistent franchisee financial statements
Brand Fund & Restricted Accounts
  • Manage brand fund accounting with strict separation and transparency
  • Track approved vs. actual spend and prepare regular reports
  • Support FDD compliance and financial defensibility
Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Insight
  • Support annual budgeting and rolling cash forecasts
  • Monitor unit economics and cost-to-serve metrics
  • Provide leadership with timely, decision-ready financial insights
Controls, Systems & Process Improvement
  • Maintain internal controls, approval workflows, and accounting SOPs
  • Own the accounting systems and integrations (POS, payroll, franchise platforms)
  • Reduce manual processes through automation and documentation
Cross-Functional Support
  • Partner closely with the CFO, leadership team, operations, and legal
  • Support audits, lender requests, and board-level reporting
What We’re Looking For
Required
  • 5+ years of accounting experience, including Controller-level responsibility
  • Experience in franchising, multi-unit, or multi-entity environments
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and financial controls
  • Proven ownership of monthly close and financial reporting
  • Advanced proficiency with modern accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct)
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment
Preferred
  • Franchise royalty and brand fund experience
  • Home services, multi-location, or PE-backed experience
  • Experience supporting audits and lender reporting
  • CPA or CMA (preferred, not required)
Key Measures of Success
  • On-time monthly close (≤10 business days)
  • Accurate, clean financial statements with minimal post-close adjustments
  • Strong royalty collection health and low billing disputes
  • Transparent, compliant brand fund reporting
  • Improved systems, controls, and process efficiency
Benefits
  • Health benefits and PTO
  • Fully remote role with a collaborative leadership team
Why Join Us
  • Play a critical role in a growing franchise system
  • Work closely with executive leadership
  • Build scalable financial systems that support long-term growth
  • Be part of a values-driven organization focused on transparency, integrity, and franchisee success
