Job description
Who we are:
Field Nation brings companies and service professionals together through an integrated, easy-to-use platform. We support businesses looking to grow their service offerings while also empowering technicians to leverage their skills on their own terms. Our mission is to help the service delivery industry do great work, and we live that mission by doing great work for the companies and service professionals that depend on us.
Why is this role important to Field Nation?
At Field Nation, financial accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence are foundational to scaling our marketplace. The Controller owns controllership and financial operations, ensuring that the company’s books are accurate, compliant, and closed on time while also managing the financial processes that keep our platform running smoothly (cash flow, payments, collections, insurance, compliance).
This role is critical to:
- Delivering timely, accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements
- Ensuring controls, systems, and processes scale with growth
- Overseeing financial operations that underpin marketplace trust (e.g. provider payments, insurance, tax compliance)
- Partnering with FP&A and the CFO to provide a reliable foundation for forecasts, board reporting, and investor communications.
What you’ll get to do:
- Financial Leadership & Controllership: Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes; ensure GAAP-compliant, accurate financial reporting; manage external audits and tax compliance.
- Accounting Policies & Compliance: Implement and maintain accounting policies, internal controls, and regulatory compliance frameworks; oversee technical accounting issues like revenue recognition, marketplace transactions, and equity accounting.
- Treasury & Cash Management: Manage banking relationships, cash flow, AR/AP, collections, and provider payments; optimize working capital and treasury operations.
- Finance Operations & Automation: Drive process improvements and automation in ERP, payment processing, reconciliations, and insurance billing.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with FP&A, Legal, HR, and Operations for compliance, reporting, and aligning actuals with forecasts; support CFO with board, investor, and lender reporting.
- Marketplace Finance Partnership: Collaborate with Product and Tech teams to strengthen financial processes tied to marketplace operations, provider payments, and compliance.
- Team Development & Culture: Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance and accounting team; champion a culture of accuracy, accountability, continuous improvement, and adoption of new technologies.
You might be a good fit if you have:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business; CPA preferred (active or inactive).
- 10+ years progressive accounting/finance experience, including leadership of controllership and financial operations in a SaaS, marketplace, or PE-backed company
- Deep technical accounting expertise (revenue recognition, equity comp, marketplace/pass-through accounting)
- Experience with ERP and financial systems (NetSuite strongly preferred)
- Proven success leading teams through fast growth and system/process change
- Hands-on operator mindset — able to shift between strategy and detail execution
- Strong communication and leadership skills; credible with auditors, board members, and executives
- Experience supporting M&A diligence and integration is a plus.
Why we think you’ll love it here:
- Be the financial steward of a fast-growing, PE-backed Labor Marketplace
- Own the end-to-end controllership and finance operations function — with real impact on scalability and investor confidence.
- Join a collaborative, values-driven culture that balances rigor with innovation.
- Competitive benefits, growth opportunities, and a leadership seat at the table.
- Unlimited paid time off
- Annual vacation bonus - yes, we’ll pay you a bonus to take paid time off!
- Individualized growth + development plans
- Strong values around work/life balance
- Community involvement opportunities
- Competitive benefits: medical, dental, vision, paid parental leave + 401K
- Exposure to cutting-edge technologies to solve meaningful problems
