Controller 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars Hicksville, NY 11801 $79,677.59 - $95,955.80 a year - Full-time Rest Easy Pest Control 23 reviews $79,677.59 - $95,955.80 a year - Full-time Controller (CFO Track) — Lead & Level Up Our Finance Function Build Something That Matters We're a well-established, multi-branch pest control company approaching eight figures in revenue, and we're hiring our first dedicated Controller to take ownership of our accounting function and bring it to the next level. This is not a maintenance role. This is for someone who wants to: Tighten systems and create clarity from messy data Lead and develop an existing bookkeeping / AP / AR team Help ownership understand and improve the business, not just report on it You'll work directly with the CEO and leadership team to bring structure, visibility, and accountability to the financial side of the company — and play a key role in scaling to the next level. If you've worked in home services (pest control, HVAC, plumbing, lawn care, etc.), you already understand the game: recurring revenue, route density, margins, and operational efficiency. What You'll Own Lead the monthly close (goal: under 10 business days, then improve it) Deliver clean, reliable financials (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) with variance analysis Build job costing and service-line profitability (residential vs. commercial, recurring vs. one-time, by branch) Create KPIs that operators actually use — revenue per stop, route density, churn, gross margin Own cash flow forecasting and working capital management Manage and level up our existing bookkeeping / AP / AR team Build budgets, forecasts, and reporting for ownership Establish internal controls, processes, and financial discipline Partner with our CPA, bank, and insurance providers Oversee sales tax filings and payroll What Success Looks Like First 90
