Reporting directly to the Controller, the Assistant Controller is a hands-on leader who oversees the day-to-day accounting operations and team across Omnidian’s US and Australian entities. This includes managing core processes such as financial reporting, payroll, internal controls, AR/AP, inventory, and general ledger transactions with precision and timeliness across all periods. You will lead initiatives in system optimizations, internal control enhancements, cost efficiencies, and analytical support to fuel scalable growth.
This role is ideal for a seasoned accounting professional with substantial experience in a similar leadership role at a midsize or high-growth company, bringing deep technical expertise in US GAAP—particularly consolidations, complex transactions, and acquisition accounting—within a tech-enabled, service environment. Success here demands a strong command of GAAP at a fast-scaling company, combined with a proactive, customer-service mindset toward team members, vendors, field operations, and stakeholders—all while contributing to Omnidian’s mission to protect and accelerate investments in clean energy by innovating through people, culture, and integrated technology.
What You'll Do
Lead end-to-end monthly close for US and Australian entities.
Prepare consolidated trial balances across multiple international subsidiaries.
Deliver financial reports for internal stakeholders, investors, and banking partners.
Monitor and implement new accounting standards and technical research.
Review general ledger reconciliations prepared by the Senior Accountant.
Establish and maintain robust internal controls to mitigate fraud risk.
Manage compliance with property, sales, and use tax obligations.
Ensure compliance with bank covenants and tax equity agreements.
Partner with the Controller and external providers on audits and tax filings.
Oversee fixed asset management and related system records.
Manage and develop a team of 2-4 high-performing accounting professionals.
Champion NetSuite enhancements, process automation, and cost efficiencies.
Collaborate with FP&A on quarterly forecasting and special projects.
Support M&A and debt financing initiatives with key accounting insights.
