Senior Controller+ / Director of Finance
About The Position
We're hiring for a Senior Controller+ / Director of Finance who has the talent, experience, and desire to lead CHARLESGATE to scale nationally across multiple operating subsidiaries. If you’re a whip-smart accounting/finance leader who wants real responsibility, real challenges to solve, and a real fast-track path to CFO… keep reading. Why work at CHARLESGATE? CHARLESGATE is a multi-entity real estate platform (HoldCo + operating subsidiaries + investment/SPV entities). We’re scaling quickly (5x Inc 5000 Winner!) and we expect finance to be an operating weapon - not a stogy back-office function. We need a leader to own the finance engine behind it. We’re growing into more entities, more revenue types, and more complexity. The business will not slow down so finance can “catch up.” The mission for this role is to build and run a lean Finance Operating System across the companies for clean close, cash predictability, intercompany discipline, and decision-grade reporting at speed.
