About the Accounting Manager/Controller Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is proud to partner with a prestigious consulting company boasting over 50 years of industry leadership, now seeking a dynamic Accounting Manager/Controller to join their executive team in Burlington, Massachusetts. This hybrid position offers the perfect blend of hands-on leadership and strategic oversight, positioning you as the top finance leader reporting directly to the owner. With complete ownership of all financial operations, you'll manage a small, dedicated staff while driving the company's financial success. Ideal for seasoned professionals thriving in small company environments, this role combines transactional expertise with high-level analysis in a stable, growth-oriented firm. Located in the heart of Burlington, MA, this opportunity promises professional fulfillment and work-life balance with a hybrid schedule (1-2 days remote once acclimated).

Why This Role Stands Out

In this pivotal position, you'll be the cornerstone of the finance department, handling everything from day-to-day transactions to strategic financial planning. Our client, a true industry pioneer, values stability and growth, offering a rare chance to make an immediate impact. If you have a track record in small business accounting, payroll, and HR, plus proficiency in tools like Deltek and advanced Excel, this is your gateway to leadership in a supportive environment.

Key Responsibilities

As Accounting Manager/Controller, your scope is comprehensive, ensuring seamless financial operations:

• Lead all financial reporting and transactional activities, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, expense reports, and order entry.
• Oversee human resources and payroll functions, ensuring compliance and efficiency.
• Manage cash flow, forecasting, and reporting to support business decisions.
• Perform in-depth financial analysis to identify trends and opportunities.
• Implement and maintain robust internal controls to safeguard assets.
• Handle tax and insurance reporting with precision.
• Act as the key liaison with external CPA firms and advisors.
• Guide and mentor a small accounting team, fostering a collaborative culture.

Daily Impact and Leadership

This isn't a desk job—it's a hands-on leadership role where you'll roll up your sleeves alongside your team, driving results in a fast-paced consulting environment. Your expertise will directly influence the company's trajectory.

Required Qualifications

To excel, candidates should bring:

• Proven experience in a small company setting (essential).
• Background in payroll and HR duties (preferred).
• Advanced Excel skills for data analysis and reporting.
• Deltek software proficiency highly desired.
• Strong leadership to manage staff and report to ownership.
• Excellent communication for external partnerships.
• Hybrid work flexibility post-onboarding.

Skills That Set You Apart

Key competencies include financial reporting, AP/AR management, cash flow analysis, internal controls, tax compliance, payroll processing, HR oversight, Deltek, and advanced Excel. Bachelor's in Accounting/Finance preferred; CPA a plus.
