Disclaimer:

This is the absolute perfect role for a person straight out of the Big 4 or Public Accounting. I placed a role similar to this one 6 years ago, and the person is a star player and still with the company. I also placed the Controller almost 7 years ago, and he is a stud as well. You will be coming into an All Star team.
