About Coastal Waste & Recycling
At Coastal Waste & Recycling, we're building more than a company, we're building a team. As one of the fastest-growing privately held waste and recycling companies in the Southeast, we're looking for people who take pride in their work, put safety first, and are ready to grow with us.
District Controller
Coastal Waste & Recycling is growing, and we’re looking for a District Controller who wants to be more than the person who reports the numbers.
This role is a true finance business partner to Operations. You’ll work closely with the District Manager and local leadership team to understand what is driving performance, identify opportunities, challenge the business when needed, and help turn financial data into better operational decisions.
If you enjoy being close to the business, digging into the why behind the numbers, and helping leaders improve performance, this could be a great fit.
What You’ll Do
Partner directly with district and operational leadership on financial performance and business decisions
Own district-level P&L analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and variance reporting
Analyze key operational drivers including revenue, labor, overtime, route profitability, disposal expense, fleet costs, and other operating expenses
Lead monthly financial reviews and translate results into clear, actionable recommendations
Identify cost-saving opportunities, productivity improvements, and areas of financial risk
Support capital expenditure analysis, pricing decisions, and customer profitability reviews
Partner with Accounting on month-end close, reconciliations, reporting, and internal controls
Support acquisitions, integrations, new contracts, and other growth initiatives
Help operational leaders understand financial information without making them feel like they need an accounting degree to do it
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field
5+ years of progressive accounting, finance, or financial-analysis experience
Strong experience with budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial reporting
Ability to connect financial results to what is actually happening operationally
Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with non-finance leaders
Someone who is analytical, curious, accountable, and willing to challenge the status quo
Strong Excel and financial-analysis skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, growing organization
Nice to Have
- CPA or MBA, experience in waste, logistics, transportation, fleet-intensive operations, construction, or another multi-location operating environment, and experience with acquisitions or integrations are all a plus.
- Why Coastal?
- Coastal Waste & Recycling is a rapidly growing company with an entrepreneurial mindset. We’re continuing to build and improve how we operate, which means this is an opportunity to have a real voice in the business rather than simply inherit a finished playbook.
