Controller – Red River Outdoor Living
Paris, Texas | Full-Time | On-Site
You’re Great at Finance. You Want Your Work to Matter.
At Red River Outdoor Living, we know you want to use your accounting and financial leadership skills to make a real impact — not just push numbers from one column to another. To do that, you need a company that values clarity, accuracy, and growth.
The problem? Many businesses don’t give their financial leaders a seat at the table. Important decisions get made without solid data. Systems are scattered. Leadership is reactive instead of proactive — and it’s frustrating.
We believe great financial leadership deserves better.
Join a Growing Company That Wants Your Expertise — Not Just Your Labor
Red River Outdoor Living is a rapidly expanding outdoor living, landscaping, and pool installation company serving Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma. With two branches and about 45 employees, our financial needs have outgrown basic accounting work — and we’re ready to bring in a Controller who can provide structure, clarity, and long-term financial leadership.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Controller who takes ownership, builds strong systems, and provides the accurate, timely financial insights our leadership team relies on.
What You’ll Do (Your Mission)
As the leadership team member representing our Accounting Department, you’ll bring order, visibility, and confidence to our financial operations by:
Providing Accurate Visibility
• Lead month-end and year-end closing processes
• Prepare accurate, timely financial statements and management reports
• Maintain general ledger accuracy across all departments and branches
Performing Detailed Accounting Work (Not Just Oversight)
• Perform all bank, credit card, and balance sheet account reconciliations each month
• Review, organize, and maintain accounting records with precision
• Work closely with our off-site CPA for reviews, tax planning, and financial strategy
Creating Order and Improving Systems
• Oversee payroll administration and ensure compliance with labor laws
• Process employee benefits, including company-provided Life Insurance and AD&D
• Process and maintain employee PTO (Paid Time Off) balances
• Administer taxes, sales tax filings, and 401(k) plan contributions
• Strengthen internal controls and improve accounting workflows
• Assist with audits, insurance renewals, and year-end financial preparations
Ensuring Financial and Regulatory Compliance
• Ensure compliance with accounting standards (GAAP)
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local tax requirements
• Maintain strong internal controls and accurate documentation
Guiding Leadership With Reliable Data
• Provide financial analysis, forecasting, and insights for strategic decisions
• Attend relevant company meetings and provide financial information as needed
• Help leadership plan confidently rather than reactively
What Makes You a Strong Fit
You’re the kind of person who:
• Brings order to complexity
• Communicates with clarity and professionalism
• Thinks strategically but enjoys hands-on work
• Thrives in a fast-moving, growing environment
• Owns problems and brings solutions
Your Background:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business (required)
• 5+ years of accounting or financial leadership experience
• Strong understanding of GAAP, payroll, taxes, and financial controls
• Proficient in QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel
• Experience in construction or service-industry environments is a plus
What We Offer
We want you to succeed — because when you succeed, our entire company succeeds.
Your benefits include:
• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience, education & qualifications — DOE/DOQ)
• 9 paid holidays
• Paid vacation time
• 401(k) with company match
• Company-provided Life Insurance
