Join Elder Care Homecare

Together, we elevate care to meet the moment and deliver peace of mind.

About Elder Care Homecare

Elder Care Homecare is a leading private-pay home care agency proudly serving clients across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, with ambitious plans for continued expansion. We specialize in delivering exceptional, personalized care by providing nurses and home health aides who help clients live safely, comfortably, and independently in their homes, assisted living communities, and other care settings.

Everything we do is guided by a simple belief: Together, we elevate care to meet the moment and deliver peace of mind. This commitment extends to our clients, their families, and every member of our team.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking talented professionals who are passionate about excellence, accountability, innovation, and making a meaningful impact every day.

The Opportunity

Elder Care Homecare is seeking a highly operational, hands-on Controller to join our growing leadership team. Reporting directly to the CFO, this individual will play a critical role in building the financial infrastructure, accounting discipline, and operational rigor necessary to support our continued growth.

This is not a traditional corporate Controller role. We are looking for a builder—someone who can roll up their sleeves, establish scalable processes, improve financial operations, and help position the organization for long-term growth. The ideal candidate combines strong accounting fundamentals with a proven ability to scale finance organizations, optimize systems, support acquisitions, and partner closely with executive leadership.

As Controller, you will be responsible for ensuring the integrity of financial reporting, strengthening internal controls, driving operational improvements, and building a finance function capable of supporting a $200M+ organization.

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Help shape the financial future of a rapidly growing healthcare company

• Lead external audits and serve as the primary point of contact for auditors and advisors
• Drive continuous improvement in close efficiency, reporting quality, and financial transparency

Build & Scale the Finance Function

• Serve as a hands-on builder capable of creating scalable financial infrastructure in a high-growth environment
• Develop processes, workflows, controls, and reporting structures that support rapid organizational expansion
• Build systems and operating rhythms capable of supporting a business on a path toward $200M+ in revenue
• Identify operational bottlenecks and proactively implement solutions
• Balance strategic thinking with day-to-day execution and problem-solving

NetSuite Leadership & Process Improvement

• Serve as the organization's NetSuite subject matter expert
• Lead ERP optimization initiatives, workflow enhancements, reporting improvements, and system integrations
• Drive automation and process improvement initiatives across accounting and finance functions
• Improve visibility, efficiency, and scalability through technology-enabled solutions
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure data integrity and operational effectiveness

Operational Finance Partnership

• Partner closely with operations and executive leadership to drive business performance
• Translate financial information into actionable business insights and recommendations
• Support budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and financial planning activities
• Develop and maintain KPIs and reporting dashboards that improve organizational accountability
• Provide financial guidance that supports informed operational decision-making

Private Equity Growth & M&A Support

• Support the financial requirements of a fast-growing, private equity-backed environment
• Assist with acquisition due diligence, integration efforts, and strategic growth initiatives
• Prepare financial analyses and reporting required by investors, lenders, and board stakeholders
• Help establish the financial foundation necessary to support future growth opportunities

Leadership & Accountability

• Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed accounting team across the U.S. and offshore locations
• Create a culture of ownership, accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence
• Establish clear performance expectations and measurable outcomes
• Build scalable training, documentation, and standard operating procedures

Executive Communication & Influence

• Serve as a trusted business partner to the CFO and executive leadership team
• Communicate complex financial concepts clearly to both financial and non-financial stakeholders
• Present financial results, risks, opportunities, and recommendations with confidence and credibility
• Influence decision-making through strong analysis, sound judgment, and business insight

QualificationsRequired

• Active CPA license
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience
• 5+ years in a Controller or equivalent senior finance leadership role
• Deep expertise in accounting operations, financial reporting, month-end close, and internal controls
• Significant hands-on NetSuite experience
• Proven success building and scaling accounting processes within a growing organization
• Strong process improvement and financial systems optimization experience
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams and drive accountability
• Excellent communication and executive presentation skills
• Ability to operate effectively in both strategic and hands-on capacities
• Ability to work within the New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut Tri-State Area

Strongly Preferred

• Experience helping scale organizations through significant revenue growth
• Experience supporting businesses on a path toward $100M–$200M+ revenue
• Private equity-backed company experience
• M&A, acquisition integration, or due diligence experience
• Healthcare, home care, senior living, or multi-location services experience
• Experience managing distributed and offshore teams
• Experience with automation, AI-enabled workflows, and financial transformation initiatives

Core Competencies

• Exceptional accounting discipline and attention to detail
• Builder mentality with a passion for creating scalable systems and processes
• Strong leadership presence and accountability mindset
