About the Company

We are a fast-growing residential solar company with eight years of success in the Arizona market. As we continue to scale in a dynamic and often volatile industry, we are focused on building a financially strong, operationally efficient business that can thrive through market shifts and position itself for long-term growth.

• Partner cross-functionally to streamline processes and improve financial outcomes
• Establish KPIs to monitor operational and financial performance across departments
• Lead initiatives to improve profitability with a target of $10M profit on $40M revenue
• Build scalable systems that support growth without unnecessary overhead

3. Lead Strategic Financial Planning & Decision Support

• Develop forecasting models and scenario planning for a changing solar market
• Own FP&A processes and elevate financial visibility across the business

Who You Are

• A Director of Accounting / Senior Accounting Leader ready to step into a Controller role

• A builder—comfortable creating systems, processes, and structure from the ground up
• Strategic thinker who can connect financial data to business outcomes
• Strong communicator who can influence leaders across functions
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Qualifications
