Assistant Controller Assistant Controller Assistant Controller Assistant Controller Assistant Controller Assistant Controller Assistant Controller
Salary: $135,000 - $180,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


  • Own the full close process and financial reporting cadence with high visibility to senior leadership

  • Lead and develop a team of five, including managing experienced leaders—true people leadership opportunity

  • Operate in a structured environment where technical accounting is handled separately, allowing you to focus on execution and impact

  • Play a key role in a company-wide ERP transformation to SAP

  • Drive automation and modernization of accounting processes, including AI-enabled tools

  • Act as the primary liaison to a parent company—exposure to complex, multi-entity reporting

  • Gain hands-on experience with systems integration and cross-functional initiatives

  • High level of autonomy with strong executive collaboration and influence on operational strategy

  • Opportunity to shape scalable processes in a growing, evolving organization


Key Responsibilities:


  • Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process end-to-end

  • Oversee financial reporting packages and manage parent company communication

  • Manage ERP integrations and troubleshoot month-end system issues

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accounting professionals

  • Drive process improvements, automation, and ERP (SAP) implementation efforts

  • Support internal and external audit processes and ensure compliance


Qualifications:


  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience with 3+ years in management

  • Strong expertise in general ledger accounting and close processes

  • Experience managing reporting in a mid-to-large company environment

  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems (SAP, Workday, NetSuite, etc.)

  • Background working with auditors, parent companies, or senior stakeholders

  • CPA preferred (or equivalent experience)
