Job Description



Assistant Controller


Salary: $135,000-$160,000 + Discretionary Bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


• Become part of a business that has achieved significant growth, more than doubling its revenue.
• Gain direct exposure to the CFO, VP of Accounting, private equity ownership, and executive leadership team.
• Play a key role in shaping accounting processes, internal controls, and financial reporting during an exciting growth phase.
• Lead critical initiatives including cash forecasting, month-end close improvements, and process optimization.
• Manage and develop accounting team members while helping build the future structure of the department.
• Work in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment where your ideas and improvements can make an immediate impact.
• Be involved in acquisitions, integrations, consolidations, and strategic finance initiatives.
• Join an organization that continues to invest heavily in growth while maintaining operational momentum.

Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller:


• Lead and manage the month-end close process, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.
• Oversee cash management, including rolling 13-week cash forecasting and liquidity planning.
• Review and approve journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statement analyses.
• Manage accounting team members, including AP and accounting staff, while developing department talent.
• Support audits, consolidations, intercompany accounting, fixed assets, lease accounting, and internal controls.
• Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and process improvement initiatives.

Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:


• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required
• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including financial reporting and month-end close responsibilities.
• Prior leadership experience managing accounting staff.
• Strong experience with general ledger accounting, financial statement preparation, reconciliations, and cash management.
