This is a controls, compliance, and governance-ownership role - it carries the executive presence for Finance with auditors, lenders, and firm leadership.\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities\nOwn the design, execution, and maturity of the internal controls framework - risk assessment, control testing, and remediation. Candidates should have built or significantly matured a controls environment before, not only maintained one.\n\nMaintain continuous audit readiness as an operating posture, not an annual event. Own the audit relationship process directly.\n\nPrepare and manage lender/covenant reporting under a credit facility, revolver, or similar debt structure.\n\nServe as the primary point of authority for auditors and lenders, and represent the firm’s control posture in executive-level financial reporting - this person carries weight in the room, not just prepares the materials.\n\nPartner with the Accounting teams on GAAP application and reporting integrity, without owning execution of close.\n\nIdentify and flag control gaps or financial-integrity risk to the CFO and Finance leadership.\n\nTechnology & Change Leadership\nBAL is undergoing significant technological and organizational change. This role requires genuine learning agility and technical aptitude - not just tolerance for change.\n\nServes as an influential voice in technology and process deployment decisions - a participant in shaping system changes, not just an end user.\n\nEvaluates, questions, and champions system/process changes through a controls and financial-integrity lens; asks the right questions whenever new technology touches financial data or workflows.\n\nPrior experience navigating systems transformation, ERP change, or major process redesign.\n\nWorking Style\nHands-on: willing and able to dig into transaction-level detail when something doesn’t tie out, not manage exclusively from a dashboard.\n\nComfortable being the “no” or “not yet” voice when controls or compliance require it. This is a governance role, not a cheerleading role.\n\nCurious and adaptable enough to stay credible as the firm’s technology and processes evolve.\n\nOperates through influence and control authority rather than line management.\n\nRequired Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities\nTrack record owning internal controls design and execution - risk assessment, control testing, remediation. SOX exposure is a good indicator but not required.\n\nExperience in a high-transaction-volume environment (high invoice/payment throughput, complex AR/AP flows).\n\nProfessional services industry background - law firm, consulting, or similar partner/client-billing model - with working understanding of WIP, billing cycles, and PS-specific revenue recognition.\n\nHas led or directly managed external audits and owned the process.\n\nExperience preparing or managing compliance reporting under a credit facility, revolver, or debt covenant structure.\n\nStrong GAAP technical knowledge with proven practical application.\n\nDirect, credible communicator who can explain financial risk and control gaps clearly to non-finance executives.\n\nEducation and Experience\nBachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required.\n\nCPA strongly preferred, not required.\n\n10+ years of progressive controls/audit/compliance leadership experience required.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3416,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Professional Services","Legal Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T21:28:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.203,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":85,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bal-corporate-controller","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bal-corporate-controller.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T23:58:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6207,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2816273},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2816273"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbal-corporate-controller"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbal-corporate-controller"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbal-corporate-controller"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bal-corporate-controller\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbal-corporate-controller"}]}
