Waste Pro is seeking an experienced Regional Controller with a strong background in the solid waste, recycling, environmental services, or waste hauling industry to provide financial leadership and strategic business support across multiple operating divisions within the Southeast Florida region.

 

This is not a traditional accounting role. We are looking for a finance leader who understands the operational side of the waste industry and can partner with leadership to improve profitability, drive performance, support acquisitions, and influence key business decisions.

 

The ideal candidate has experience managing the financial operations of multiple locations and possesses a deep understanding of route profitability, municipal and franchise agreements, fleet operations, disposal costs, capital planning, pricing strategies, acquisitions, and operational performance metrics unique to the waste industry.

 

If you've served as a Regional Controller, Area Controller, Division Controller, Assistant Controller, or Senior Finance Leader within the waste industry, we'd like to hear from you.

 

Why Waste Pro?

Waste Pro is one of the nation's fastest-growing privately owned waste and recycling companies, providing essential environmental services to communities throughout the Southeast. Our continued growth has been built on a commitment to safety, exceptional customer service, innovation, operational excellence, and investing in our people.    At Waste Pro, we believe our employees are our greatest asset.  We promote from within whenever possible and empower our leaders to make meaningful business decisions that have a direct impact on the success of the company.  As a Regional Controller, you will work alongside executive leadership and operations teams to influence strategy, improve profitability, support acquisitions, and help shape the future of our growing organization.    When you join Waste Pro, you're not just taking another finance position, you'll become a trusted business partner with the opportunity to make a measurable impact while building a long-term career with an industry leader.

• Lead the monthly financial close process, including journal entries, reconciliations, financial statements, and management reporting.
