Vice President, Controller

You are the kind of Controller who does not just close the books you rewrite what the accounting function is capable of. Fox Rent A Car is looking for a Controller who brings that same builder's instinct to a high-growth, $400 million enterprise where the scope is real, the visibility is high, and the opportunity to leave your mark on the finance organization is even bigger.
