At Public Policy Institute the finance team is small enough that your Controller fingerprints land on Kailua's biggest decisions. This service-minded role offers $73,000 - $113,000, full ownership of Stress Management projects, and the support of a team that ships together.
Key Responsibilities
- Close the books each month and ensure accuracy across all entries
- Mentor junior accounting staff and review their work for accuracy
- Implement and document internal controls to safeguard company assets
- Reconcile equity rollforwards so the cap table never argues with the books
- Own the junior sign-off on journal entries above the threshold
What You'll Bring
- At least 1 years building expertise within the finance space
- Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
- Proven track record delivering results as a junior Controller
- Underdog-spirited problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
- A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
- The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
- Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
Founded in Kailua, HI during a downturn, Public Policy Institute grew plainspoken and lean while flashier finance rivals burned out. We keep ego out of code review and let the Treasury Management argument win on its merits.
We start the conversation at $73,000 - $113,000 and end it with mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to grow without relocating from HI.
Hiring is open and ongoing for this freelance position in Kailua.
Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
