About the Role - Controller
Peak Energy is accelerating the transition to clean, reliable energy through advanced energy storage systems. We are seeking a Controller to be the first dedicated accounting leader at Peak and build our finance infrastructure from the ground up. This role will be hands-on in the near term — taking ownership of the close process, supporting our ERP implementation, and preparing for our initial financial audit — while also laying the foundation for a scalable, best-in-class accounting organization.
The ideal candidate is a technically strong, process-minded accounting leader who thrives in fast-growing, entrepreneurial environments and is motivated by the opportunity to design and own the accounting function end to end.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities)
- Build the Accounting Function
- Establish internal accounting operations previously managed by external providers, including general ledger, AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations.
- Define the accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls that will support the company’s next stage of growth.
- Design and implement scalable processes to support manufacturing, project development, and capital asset activities.
- Develop the company’s first monthly close process with clear timelines, responsibilities, and accuracy standards.
- Financial Reporting & Audit Readiness
- Prepare and own monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
