Summary:
Founded in 2019, the client is a community solar developer. Based out of Boston, Massachusetts,the client focuses on developing systems that benefit both the land and local communities.
Responsibilities:
This role is tasked with overseeing the accounting function, which includes a large focus on the back-office operations. In addition, the role is expected to include oversight of some of our outsourced relationships eg. HR with Insperity, Banking with BMO, Insurance broker with Lockton, etc.
The primary responsibility will ensure that the monthly accounts are produced accurately and on time in Quickbooks Online, management of day-to-day banking activities, cash flow forecasting and funding requests to our parent. However, as the client is still a relatively new company, the Controller will be required to be flexible in picking up various (sometimes no accounting) tasks as required. Showing initiative to jump in and support where needed will be an important attribute of the Controller.
We are also underway with a migration to a new Accounting software, which will require oversight from the Controller to ensure that the new system is delivered on time and with the specifications and controls necessary for our business.
The Accountant within the client will report directly to the Controller.
In 2023, the company will be outsourcing the construction of Solar sites and opening up new LLC's. Allocations and multi-entity/intercompany transactions will be included in this role to accompany that growth.
This role will be 100% remote but may require regular meetings with the CFO and the Accountant at our WeWork office in Boston for check signing, employee engagement, and other training/collaboration activities. As the client continues to grow, opportunities to develop unique skills will be available as well as opportunities for advancement.
