Financial Controller

Grand Forks, ND | $100,000 – $110,000 | Full-Time, In-Person

You're Not Looking for Another Accounting Job. You're Looking for Your Next Build.

You've mastered the close process, led teams, cleaned up chaos, and now you're ready to own the financial engine of a company in motion.

At Big Inc., we're scaling a high-performance FedEx Ground operation toward $100 million in revenue, and we need a Controller who can architect the systems, controls, and insights to make it happen.

This isn't a maintenance role. It's a mission-critical position where your work directly shapes profitability, performance, and growth.
If you're the kind of leader who loves turning complexity into clarity, you'll fit right in.

About Big Inc.

We're a proud FedEx Ground independent contractor operating under the trusted names Big Red, Big Green, Big Blue, and Kronus Logistics.
Our mission: Relentlessly deliver excellence with safety, precision, and integrity.

We're scaling toward $100 M in revenue through 58 contracts, powered by 650 elite professionals, and we're just getting started.
That growth demands financial clarity, operational precision, and leadership that builds systems to support scale.

The Role

We're seeking an experienced, strategic Financial Controller to lead and evolve our accounting function during a period of rapid expansion.

You'll own our financial engine, reporting, controls, forecasting, and insights.
Your mission: turn data into decisions, numbers into narratives, and complexity into clarity.
You'll work directly with senior leadership to ensure every dollar drives the mission forward.

Your Mission

• Lead Financial Operations – Oversee all accounting functions (GL, AP/AR, payroll, month-end close) with full GAAP compliance.
• Architect Financial Systems – Build processes and controls that scale efficiently as we move from cash to accrual accounting.
• Deliver Financial Clarity – Produce accurate, actionable reports that inform decision-making across leadership and operations.
• Ensure Accuracy & Compliance – Maintain integrity through reconciliations, audits, and regulatory standards.
• Drive Process Improvement – Identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and implement automation to enhance efficiency.

• The company's transition to accrual accounting is smooth, transparent, and scalable.
• Systems and controls support a $100 M operation without chaos or rework.
• Leadership has clear visibility into contract profitability, cash flow, and growth opportunities.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA preferred).
• 5+ years in an accounting leadership role, ideally in logistics, multi-entity, or high-growth operations.
• Proven success leading month-end close, budgeting, forecasting, and audits.
• Experience implementing or upgrading ERP/accounting systems (QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, or NetSuite).
• Strong command of GAAP and financial reporting principles.
• Analytical mindset with exceptional attention to detail and ability to simplify the complex.
• Leadership skills that inspire accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Your Edge

• You think like an operator, not just an accountant.
• You see systems before problems.
• You want to help a fast-growing company build a finance function that lasts.
