Interim Controller – Baltimore, MD
About the Company and Interim Controller Opportunity:
Our client, a well-respected nonprofit organization serving the Baltimore community for more than 100 years, is seeking an Interim Controller to support the accounting team during a period of increased workload and organizational activity.
This is a hands-on opportunity for an accounting professional who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with day-to-day execution. The ideal candidate will serve as a steady presence for the team, bringing leadership through action, strong technical accounting skills, and the ability to keep priorities moving forward without requiring constant direction.
The successful Interim Controller will be a dependable accounting leader who can quickly assess priorities, roll up their sleeves, and make an immediate impact. This person should be equally comfortable handling detailed accounting work and understanding the bigger picture, bringing stability, consistency, and sound judgment to the team throughout the engagement. This role will work alongside a medium sized team but will not supervise anyone directly.
Responsibilities of the Interim Controller:
Lead and execute monthly and quarterly close activities, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
Prepare and review account reconciliations and supporting schedules
Assist with day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger maintenance
Support accounts payable and accounts receivable processes as needed
Analyze financial data and identify opportunities to improve workflows, controls, and reporting processes
Partner with finance leadership to ensure accounting activities are completed consistently and correctly
Serve as a hands-on resource who can operate both at a detailed transactional level and from a broader organizational perspective
Research issues and help drive continuous process improvement
Assist with special projects and other accounting initiatives during the engagement
Qualifications for the Interim Controller:
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including senior-level accounting responsibilities
Candidates ready to step up from a Senior Accountant or Accounting Manager role are encouraged to apply
Strong experience with A-133 Single Audit, AP/AR, month-end close, quarter-end close, and account reconciliations
Advanced Excel skills required
Highly detail-oriented with a commitment to accuracy
Self-motivated, independent, and capable of working with minimal supervision
Strong problem-solving skills and natural curiosity to challenge and improve existing processes
Must be able to pass a background and credit check
Schedule: M-F 8am-5pm on site in Baltimore, MD. Free street parking available nearby Salary: $100,000-$125,000
