Company Overview:

At HeroWear we make wearable technology to help hardworking men and women do their jobs and go home every day feeling better. Our exosuit is at the cutting edge of technology and helps the hardest working people in our communities save their bodies from what is often literally back-breaking work. Our team is a multi-disciplinary group of engineers, scientists, and business leaders who love building great products and great companies. In this role, you will help bring this solution to some of the largest companies in the world to improve the lives of their workers.

Role Overview:

We’re looking for a hands-on Controller to own and scale the accounting function for HeroWear, a fast-growing manufacturing business with international operations. This role is based in Nashville, TN and will partner closely with the CEO while leveraging a fractional CFO for strategic support. You’ll drive a fast, accurate monthly close, elevate financial reporting under GAAP, and build the policies, reconciliations, and controls needed for a growth-stage company.

This role is ideal for a true “do-er” — someone who thrives in the details, takes full ownership of outcomes, and builds simple, repeatable systems that make finance run faster and cleaner. If you’re energized by bringing structure to a dynamic environment and creating reliable financial visibility for leadership, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities:

  • Month-End Close & Financial Reporting.
  • Own and manage the monthly close process end-to-end — timeline, reconciliations, review, and deliverables.
  • Prepare accurate monthly financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
  • Build and maintain balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules with clear documentation.
  • Establish accounting policies, procedures, and close documentation suitable for a growth-stage company.
  • Support investor and stakeholder reporting with consistent, reliable outputs.
  • Prepare the company for future audit, diligence, and lender reporting readiness.

Cash Forecasting & Budget Support

  • Maintain clear, forward-looking cash forecasting and visibility for leadership.
  • Participate in the budget process and prepare variance reporting and insights.

NetSuite Ownership & Process Improvement

  • Serve as the NetSuite administrator for financial reporting, user management, permissions, and configurations.
  • Improve workflows, reporting, and internal controls within NetSuite and across accounting processes.
  • Design and maintain customer reports, saved searches and dashboards to support management reporting needs.

Manufacturing, Inventory, and Operational Accounting

  • Oversee manufacturing and inventory accounting, including inventory costing methodology and reserves.
  • Oversee customer invoicing, revenue cutoff, and accounts receivable reserves.
  • Monitor inventory levels and collaborate with operations on cycle counts and physical inventory processes.

International & Intercompany Accounting

  • Manage accounting for foreign subsidiaries, including foreign currency remeasurement, translation, and consolidation.
  • Oversee intercompany invoicing and eliminations as needed for consolidated reporting.

Payroll, Tax, and Other Compliance Support

  • Run or oversee payroll processing.
  • Manage sales and use tax compliance and support income tax advisors with schedules and requested support.
  • Support grant accounting and reporting requirements as applicable.

Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Supervise, train, and mentor a Senior Staff Accountant and a Bookkeeper.
  • Partner closely with the CEO and fractional CFO to improve financial visibility, controls, and decision support.

Requirements:

  • 7–12+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Controller or senior accounting roles.
  • Strong U.S. GAAP knowledge, including consolidation and foreign currency accounting.
  • Manufacturing and inventory accounting experience.
  • NetSuite proficiency required.

Preferred Candidates will have:

  • Experience building accounting processes in a small or growing company.
  • CPA strongly preferred.

What Success Looks Like:

  • Month-end close is consistently fast, predictable, and accurate — financials are delivered on time with minimal rework.
  • Balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules are complete, current, and easy to audit or diligence.
  • Leadership has clear, reliable cash forecasting visibility (and can confidently plan around it).
  • NetSuite reporting and workflows are streamlined — fewer manual workarounds, better controls, and clearer reporting.
  • The accounting team is organized and effective, with clean delegation and strong output quality.

Why Join Us

You’ll have a high-impact role building the financial foundation of a fast-growing company. This position is trusted, hands-on, and directly connected to the CEO — with the opportunity to strengthen controls, improve visibility, and create scalable accounting systems that will support the next phase of growth.
