Corporate Controller | Lead the Engine Behind Rapid Growth Rare opportunity. High visibility. Real impact. What happens when a successful company refuses to stand still? You get a business scaling aggressively through acquisitions, evolving its infrastructure, and creating a best-in-class finance organization built to support the next stage of growth. We're partnering with a highly entrepreneurial, Des Moines-based organization seeking a Corporate Controller to help lead that transformation. This is not a traditional Controller role focused solely on closing the books. This is a leadership position at the center of a growing finance organization where you'll drive process excellence, lead integration efforts, influence executive decision-making, and build a scalable accounting function designed for continued expansion. Why This Role Stands Out Lead a team of multiple Assistant Controllers and accounting professionals Play a critical role in acquisition integration and post-close execution Partner directly with executive leadership on growth initiatives Build and enhance processes that support a rapidly expanding organization Drive change management across a complex, multi-entity environment Join a true Center of Excellence focused on continuous improvement Influence the future structure of the accounting and finance function What You'll Own Corporate accounting operations, reporting, and month-end close Oversight and development of Assistant Controllers and accounting teams Acquisition integrations, including process alignment and financial consolidation Process improvement initiatives that increase efficiency, scalability, and controls Financial analysis and leadership reporting Internal controls, policies, and accounting governance Cross-functional collaboration with finance, operations, technology, and executive leadership The Opportunity If you've ever wanted to help build something instead of simply maintain it, this is your chance. You'll join a company with a proven track record, significant acquisition activity, and leadership that views accounting as a strategic business partner, not a back-office function. Opportunities of this size, scope, and visibility are exceptionally rare in the Des Moines market. Ready to help shape the finance organization of a company that's redefining what's next? Let's talk.
