Assistant Controller


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Hybrid work schedule with flexibility and strong work-life balance.

  • Enjoy ample days of PTO annually, accrued throughout the year.

  • Play a key role in an upcoming acquisition and help integrate a newly acquired business.

  • Gain hands-on exposure to accounting, payroll oversight, audits, systems, and process improvement.

  • Work within a laid-back culture that values collaboration and autonomy.

  • Competitive benefits package and leadership visibility.


Target Compensation: $100,000 - $120,000 Base Salary

  • Manage monthly Sales & Use Tax filings across Wisconsin and Illinois.

  • Oversee accounting processes across multiple billing systems and ensure accurate reporting within NetSuite.

  • Review biweekly payroll for accuracy, including pay code validation and payroll-related controls through ADP.

  • Serve as the subject matter expert for FileBound and support AP workflow optimization.

  • Coordinate financial and 401(k) audit requests, acting as the primary liaison with external auditors.


Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting.

  • Strong accounting foundation with experience in month-end close, reconciliations, and general ledger accounting.

  • Experience working within an ERP system, preferably NetSuite.
