Role Description

On the Controllership team you are a critical part of setting up the company for future financial success — enabling the business to move fast, while playing in control. You own the accounting for GFiber’s capital program: a multi-billion-dollar fiber network, from how a cost is coded at the PO through capitalization, close, disclosure, and audit. You set policy before transactions go live, own the systems and data that make capitalization correct upstream, and are the partner FP&A, Operations, and Tax rely on to avoid surprises.

In this role, you’ll

• Own end-to-end ASC 360 PP&E and lease accounting, from capitalization costing (labor, material, allocations) through the full asset lifecycle to month-end close and reconciliations. Maintain the capex-to-opex bridge to eliminate EBITDA surprises, support external audits, and partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Tax, and Ops on forecasting and commissioning.
• Own the SAP footprint behind the accounting, including Asset Accounting (FI-AA), Project System (PS) for WBS and network structures and AuC settlement, and Materials Management (MM) for inventory, along with the PO-coding architecture that drives correct capitalization, tax location, and managerial reporting at the point of PO creation.
• Grow, mentor and develop your team.

At a minimum we’d like you to have

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Current or inactive certification as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Accountant (CA).
• 8 years of progressive accounting experience in a capital-intensive industry, including ownership of PP&E and lease accounting (ASC 360 and ASC 842).
• 2 years of experience operating SAP Asset Accounting (FI-AA), Project System (PS), Materials Management (MM), or equivalent.
• 5 years of experience owning a month-end close and supporting external audits under US GAAP.

It’s preferred if you have:

• 5 years of direct people management experience.
• Data and analytics capability (SQL or BigQuery) to own pipelines, automation, and large-scale reconciliations.
• A track record of standing up and scaling a fixed-asset and lease function, and of influencing upstream contract and PO terms before signature.
• Familiarity with the group/composite-asset method, cost or Manufacturing Overhead and labor capitalization.
• Ability to self-direct in an unstructured environment that moves quickly, navigate ambiguity, and define your own agenda.

The US base salary for this full-time position is $124,600 - $202,300 + bonus + benefits. As pay varies by location, your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
