Schedule: 4 days/week in office + parking provided



Looking for a high-visibility accounting leadership role where you can help shape processes, improve reporting, and partner closely with executive leadership? This is an opportunity to join a growing, private equity-backed multi-location organization during an exciting period of expansion and operational transformation.


Why The Assistant Controller Opportunity Stands Out:


• Join a growing, private equity-backed organization with ambitious expansion plans.
• Gain direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making.
• Play a key role in strengthening financial reporting, controls, and operational processes.
• Help drive automation, system enhancements, and accounting best practices.
• Lead and mentor a small accounting team while influencing broader finance operations.
• Enjoy significant visibility and impact within an evolving finance organization.
• Broad exposure across financial reporting, payroll, compliance, audits, and business operations.
• Opportunity to help build scalable processes that support continued company growth.
• Competitive compensation package and stable, long-term career potential.


Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller:


• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process.
• Oversee financial reporting, account reconciliations, and GAAP compliance.
• Manage accounting operations including AP, AR, payroll, cash management, and general ledger activities.
• Support audits, tax compliance, and regulatory reporting requirements.
• Drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and internal control enhancements.
• Supervise accounting personnel and coordinate with external accounting partners.


Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:


• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Strong U.S. GAAP knowledge and multi-entity accounting experience.
• CPA strongly preferred along with prior supervisory experience.
