Financial Controller Job Description
Ecowize North America
Grow with Us – A Future You Can Count On
Why Ecowize?
At Ecowize North America, we don’t just help our customers protect the food supply — we build the systems and teams that make it possible. Behind every successful sanitation program is a foundation of financial discipline, integrity, and insight. Our Finance team ensures we operate efficiently, make informed decisions, and scale
responsibly as we continue to grow across North America.
As our Financial Controller, you’ll play a critical role in strengthening that foundation. You’ll help drive accuracy, transparency, and compliance across accounting operations — supporting our mission to deliver excellence in every aspect of our business.
The Opportunity: Lead Our Financial Future
As our Financial Controller, you will be the primary architect of our financial integrity and the strategic partner to our executive leadership team.
Following the retirement of our long-standing Controller, we are seeking a visionary leader to modernize our financial infrastructure, manage our scaling operations across North America, and ensure that our mission to deliver excellence is backed by world-class financial discipline.
About the Role
The Financial Controller is a high-impact leadership position responsible for the company’s entire accounting function. You will lead the transition of our financial department as we scale, overseeing all financial reporting, internal controls, tax compliance, and treasury management. This role isn’t just about "closing the books" —it’s about providing the financial intelligence that drives our expansion.
What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)
Strategic Financial Leadership: Direct all accounting operations including GAAP financial statements, cost accounting, and multi-state payroll for a high-growth workforce.
Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Lead the annual budgeting process and monthly forecasting; provide the executive team with actionable analysis on labor utilization and service margins.
Compliance & Risk Management: Own the relationship with external auditors and tax preparers; ensure rigorous compliance with federal, state, and local regulations across all jurisdictions.
Process Modernization: Evaluate and enhance our current tech stack (QuickBooks Online, Rippling, EXL) to support more complex reporting and automation.
Internal Controls: Design and implement robust internal control frameworks to safeguard company assets and ensure audit readiness at all times.
Treasury, Cash Flow & Commercial Operations: Manage corporate liquidity, banking relationships, and debt compliance to fuel continued investment in our people and technology. This is a "hands-on" leadership role requiring daily transactional and commercial support, including active management of working capital, oversight of high-volume AP/AR, and providing real-time financial guidance to support operational sales and service contracts.
Tax, Insurance & Risk Management: Own the end-to-end process for quarterly federal and state income
