Position Summary:
The Regional Financial Controller (RFC) serves as the technical, operational, and people leader for all accounting and transactional finance within the region. Reporting to the Regional Finance Director (RFD), this role owns the end-to-end accounting lifecycle — from general ledger integrity to accounts payable, accounts receivable, collections, payroll accounting, and cash management — ensuring accuracy, consistency, and scalability across approximately 8+ operating entities.

Each region represents a significant portion of AIR Control Concepts’ multi-billion dollar national enterprise, typically generating substantial annual revenue and EBITDA. The RFC ensures these complex operations run efficiently, with strong internal controls, timely close processes, and a high-performing accounting team capable of supporting continued growth.
In addition to leading all compliance and operational accounting functions, the RFC partners closely with FP&A and Operations to monitor and improve key financial metrics, including working capital efficiency, DSO, DPO, and margin performance. This is a dynamic, high-impact leadership role suited for a seasoned professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth, transformational environments.

Oversee all regional accounting activities across approximately 6–15 operating companies, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll accounting, and cash management.
Ensure a timely, accurate, and complete month-end close aligned with corporate timelines and standards.
Review and approve trial balances, journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting documentation.
Deliver consolidated financial statements for the region and collaborate with FP&A and the RFD in developing management reporting packages and performance reviews.
Approve payment runs, credit terms, 1099s, and related accounting activities within established approval levels.
Validate the completeness of reconciliations, journal entries, and reporting tie-outs to ensure financial integrity.

Support regional compliance with tax, legal, and regulatory requirements in collaboration with Corporate Finance and external partners.

Financial Reporting & Performance Management

Prepare, review, and deliver accurate monthly financial statements and supporting schedules for the region.
Partner with FP&A and the RFD to analyze financial results, identify variances, and provide insights into key business drivers.
Track and improve key performance metrics, including DSO, DPO, cash flow, and working capital efficiency.
Support EBITDA add-back reporting and assist with financial statement tie-outs and other regional financial submissions.

Process Improvement & Systems Leadership

Champion standardization, automation, and scalability across accounting processes, systems, and reporting.
Collaborate with Corporate and other regional teams on ERP (Oracle) configuration, optimization, and adoption.

Lead all accounting and reporting elements of post-acquisition integration, including transitioning entities onto AIR systems, processes, and reporting structures.
Identify and align talent and resource needs post-acquisition, determining how new staff and systems can best be leveraged.
Support conversion from cash to GAAP accounting where applicable and ensure inclusion of new entities in regional reporting and control frameworks.
Provide feedback and support to Corporate and Integration teams to ensure smooth, timely, and accurate onboarding of newly acquired businesses.

Leadership, Talent Development & Team Building
