Job Description

Job Summary Complete Filtration Resources is a filtration equipment and wastewater treatment company operating across two entities (U.S. and Denmark). We are seeking an Accountant to serve as the direct report to the Controller — a hands-on accounting leader who owns the mechanics of the monthly close, financial statement preparation, and compliance.
This is a growth-oriented role:
as the company works through platform integration, ERP transition, and other post-acquisition workstreams, this person should expect to increasingly run day-to-day controllership — independently owning the close and combined financial statements. Someone who performs well here should see a credible path toward a Controller-level role as the platform scales. Job Responsibilities Compliance Own the recurring compliance calendar across both entities — audit, tax, and other statutory requirements — so nothing gets missed as reporting needs evolve. Maintain accurate, GAAP-compliant revenue recognition on project-based work, including the schedules and calculations that support it. Support external audit, tax preparation, and any PE sponsor diligence requests with organized, audit-ready documentation. Maintain internal controls appropriate for a PE-owned, sponsor-reviewed company. Partner with the Controller on compliance items tied to project execution, such as financing instruments and guarantees required for certain contracts. Keep Denmark-entity compliance current and coordinated with the Controller. Financial Statement Preparation Prepare monthly combined (U.S. + Denmark) financial statements — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow.
Own the month-end close process:
journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and intercompany eliminations. Prepare variance analysis (budget vs. actual) with clear explanations behind material swings. Maintain the supporting schedules and analyses that feed the monthly financial package. Ensure consistent, accurate use of source data across entities and flag discrepancies before they reach final statements. Prepare first-draft summaries of bookings, backlog, and pipeline to feed executive and PE reporting. Monthly Cycle & General Support Manage the recurring monthly cycle of data pulls and workbook updates across reporting and forecasting files for both entities. Assist in building executive and PE-facing materials — monthly financial review decks, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses — with an eye toward clean, simple output. Partner with operational stakeholders to keep source data current and reliable. Take on ad hoc requests from the Controller and executive team as they arise — this role should expect variety and be comfortable prioritizing on the fly. Bring a working understanding of clear, fact-anchored financial storytelling so materials this role touches are consistent with how the company communicates results. Supervision Received Accountant will work under the Controller Requirements Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance. 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including time in public accounting and industry. Experience with multi-entity or multi-currency consolidations preferred; international experience a plus. Experience with project-based or percentage-of-completion revenue recognition a plus. Prior experience in a PE-owned or PE-transitioning company a plus. Strong Excel skills and comfort working across ERP systems. High attention to detail, sound judgment, and a bias toward asking questions rather than assuming when data is incomplete. Strong written communication skills; able to translate financial detail into a clear narrative. Comfortable operating with increasing autonomy over time and growing into greater ownership of the close.
