Interim Controller - Boulder

$90-$95/hrRemote

About This Role

Interim Controller
======================

Location: Boulder, CO (Hybrid — Tues/Wed/Thurs in\-office; remote considered for exceptional AdTech/MarTech candidates)

Engagement Length: \~6 months

Target Start Date: Mid\-to\-late July

Compensation: $90\-95/hour (W2 or 1099\)

About the Opportunity
-------------------------

Our client, a growing AdTech company based in Boulder, CO, is seeking an experienced Interim Controller to provide critical coverage during a maternity leave transition. This is a hands\-on, execution\-focused role for someone who thrives on ownership and can step into an established process with minimal ramp\-up.

This is not a strategic CFO\-level position \- it's a "get it done" role for someone who wants to lead a lean, capable team and independently own the monthly close.

The Situation
-----------------

The current Controller is transitioning out for a 16\-week leave, with the interim Controller assuming full responsibility by the end of July. The Interim Controller will lead a lean team consisting of a Staff Accountant and Contract Senior Accountant.

What You'll Do:

  • Independently own the full close process: a 5\-day flash close (cash/AR/revenue) and a 9\-day full close
  • Manage Revenue Recognition in a high\-volume transactional environment
  • Oversee accounting for internally developed software assets
  • Handle GL entries related to payroll
  • Execute monthly/quarterly commission and bonus processes
  • Lead and support a lean accounting team through a transition period
  • Partner closely with the CFO on day\-to\-day accounting operations

What We're Looking For
--------------------------

Experience \& Technical Skills

  • Background in AdTech, MarTech, or similar high\-volume transactional tech environments
  • Strong technical accounting skills, particularly Revenue Recognition
  • Proven ability to independently manage a close process from start to finish
  • Experience with payroll\-related GL entries and commission/bonus cycles

Systems

  • NetSuite required
  • Experience with any of the following is a plus: Looker, FloQast, CaptivateIQ (commissions/bonuses — a big plus), Expensify, Tipalti, Spendflow, Concur

Soft Skills \& Culture Fit

  • High personal agency — able to drive tasks to completion with minimal oversight
  • Strong critical thinking — proactively flags issues and asks the right questions before problems compound
  • Accountability — owns mistakes and adapts quickly
  • Communication style that's direct, objective, and low\-drama — matches a CFO who is laid\-back but highly direct
