A career at Sono Bello means being part of a dynamic, high-energy work environment where every team member can make a difference. We love what we do, and it shows. As the national leader in providing cutting-edge, personalized body transformations, we believe everyone deserves their best body today and the opportunity to pursue their best life now. With over 100 locations, Sono Bello is the largest and fastest-growing cosmetic surgery practice in the nation.

Sono Bello, a national leader in cosmetic surgery with over 120 locations across the U.S., is seeking a Corporate Controller with a mission to unify GAAP truth, speed, and controls with cycle excellence across a multi‑site, PE‑backed healthcare/retail network. While working capital is structurally strong (cash‑before‑procedure), the emphasis is on capital project management, asset lifecycle control, system and process enhancements, team development, cleaner and faster close cycle, and cost accounting.

4) Cost Accounting & Standard Costing

• Design and implement standard costing for materials/supplies and procedure cost models (labor standards, overhead rates, equipment depreciation).
• Build cost rolls, variance analytics (PPV, usage, mix, labor, overhead absorption), and monthly close routines that reconcile to the GL.

5) Procure‑to‑Pay & Vendor Risk

• PO policy & approval maps: Maintain approval matrices; non-PO invoices restricted to documented exceptions.
• Catalogs & coding: Partner with Supply Chain to maintain item/service catalogs with negotiated pricing, GL/sub-account defaults, site/project/CapEx tags, and default tax codes.
• 3-way match & exceptions: Monitor/maintain tolerances for price/qty; auto-approve within tolerance; route exceptions to an owner queue with SLA.
• Vendor master & bank security: AP controls onboarding and bank account change callbacks + dual approval; monitor duplicates and blocked payees.

6) Record‑to‑Report, Consolidations & Payroll Accounting

• GL, reconciliations, intercompany, consolidations, fixed assets, leases; payroll GL ties and compliance.

8) Treasury, Tax & Banking

• Treasury (with CFO and FP&A): Liquidity policy, banking hygiene, covenant reporting; Controller owns treasury accounting (interest, amortization, disclosures) and payment SoD.

9) Leadership & Change Management
