Step into a #2-in-command finance leadership role with visibility across a large, growing organization—driving accounting operations, influencing strategy, and building out high-performing teams in a booming infrastructure market.

Assistant Controller
Salary: $165K–$210K base + bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• True leadership role with a clear path to step into a Controller position over time
• Broad scope overseeing multiple accounting functions and a large, layered team structure
• Exposure to executive leadership and strategic decision-making across finance and operations
• High-growth environment driven by major data center and infrastructure projects
• Opportunity to modernize processes and implement AI and system-driven efficiencies (CMiC)
• Strong bench and leadership structure (BU Controllers, Tax, AP, Accounting Manager)
• Ability to influence process improvement, SOP development, and system optimization
• Collaborative, family-oriented culture within a large organization
• Hybrid flexibility after ramp (4 days in-office / 1 day remote)
Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller:
• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, financial reporting, and month-end close
• Review consolidated financials, journal entries, and reconciliations
• Partner on budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management
• Strengthen internal controls, audit processes, and GAAP compliance
• Lead and develop accounting teams while driving process improvements and system enhancements
Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA preferred)
• 7–12+ years of progressive accounting experience (construction/project-based preferred)
• Strong GAAP knowledge and financial reporting experience
• Advanced Excel and ERP experience
