    Accounting Manager | Controller

    You’ve always seen yourself as more than an accountant. You’re the person who brings clarity to complexity, who protects the mission when growth gets fast, and who believes the right financial decisions can change the trajectory of an entire organization. You want your work to matter—to guide leadership, create stability, and build something that lasts.

    If that describes you, keep reading.

    This Is Not a Back-Office Role

    At PRAXIS S-10, accounting is not just about reporting—it’s about leadership and stewardship.

    As Accounting Manager | Controller, you will work directly with ownership and senior leadership to provide financial clarity, discipline, and insight as the business grows. Your role goes beyond closing the books. You will help leaders understand what the numbers are saying and how those numbers should inform decisions.

    We are a growing organization. Things move fast, systems evolve, and clarity matters. You will be trusted to bring structure, accuracy, and financial truth to the table—especially when decisions are hard.

    This role is opening as part of a planned retirement, allowing for a smooth and intentional transition.

    Who This Role Is For

    This role is for someone who:

    Thinks like an owner, not an employee

    Is comfortable operating in a growing, evolving business

    Takes responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks

    Can say “no” when necessary—and explain why

    Sees financial stewardship as a responsibility, not just a job

    You don’t need constant direction. You see problems before they become emergencies. You take pride in being the calm, disciplined voice in the room when growth creates pressure.

    What Winning Looks Like

    In your first 90 days: You’ve earned trust. You understand how the business truly makes money. You’ve identified what’s working, what’s fragile, and what needs attention first.

    Within 12 months: Financial reporting is clean, predictable, and trusted. Leadership uses financial insight to make better decisions. Accounting systems and controls support growth instead of slowing it down.

    Long-term: You’ve built a strong financial foundation that protects the organization as it grows. The systems you put in place allow PRAXIS S-10 to move faster, smarter, and more confidently for years to come.

    Your Core Responsibilities

    Own the day-to-day accounting and financial health of the organization

    Ensure accurate, timely, and reliable financial reporting

    Design and maintain scalable accounting systems and internal controls

    Provide clear, actionable financial insight to ownership and leadership

    Partner with leadership on planning, budgeting, and growth decisions

    Protect the organization through disciplined financial stewardship

    This is a hands-on leadership role. You will both do the work and elevate the function.

    The Non-Negotiables

    Strong accounting foundation and sound financial judgment

    Experience in a small or growing organization

    Ability to clearly explain financial information to non-financial leaders

    High integrity, personal accountability, and attention to detail

    We care deeply about accuracy—but we hire for impact.

    Compensation

    $108,000–$135,000

    This range reflects the role as designed today.

    That said, we believe compensation should reflect value. If you are currently earning more, can substantiate it, and can clearly articulate the level of value you will bring to PRAXIS S-10, we are open to a higher compensation conversation. Be prepared to explain how that value will show up in the business.

    Who This Is Not For

    This role is not a fit if you:

    Want a purely transactional or narrowly defined accounting role

    Need rigid structure before you can add value

    Avoid accountability or difficult conversations

    Are looking for a short-term steppingstone

    We’re building something meant to last, and we’re looking for someone who wants to build with us.

    Why PRAXIS S-10

    We believe great businesses are built by people who take ownership, pursue excellence, and care about the long game. You’ll be trusted, challenged, and given the opportunity to leave a real legacy—not just clean books.

    If you read this and thought, “That’s me,” we want to hear from you.
