Job Description



Ready to step into a highly visible accounting leadership role where you can influence growth, drive process improvements, and partner directly with executive leadership? This is an opportunity to join a rapidly expanding organization backed by private equity while helping build the financial infrastructure needed to support continued acquisitions.

Assistant Controller


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Join a company experiencing tremendous growth through acquisitions and organic growth

  • Gain direct exposure to executive leadership, including the CFO and Controller, while presenting key financial insights to private equity stakeholders

  • Lead and mentor a team while helping establish the processes and controls needed to support a growing organization

  • Make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced environment where adaptability and continuous improvement are highly valued


Target Compensation: $135,000 - $150,000

Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller:



  • Own the cash management process, including weekly 13-week rolling cash forecasts and reporting for leadership and private equity ownership

  • Manage the monthly close process, financial reporting package preparation, journal entry approvals, and account reconciliation reviews

  • Perform financial analysis including month-over-month, quarterly, trend, indirect expense, and SG&A analysis

  • Lead and develop accounting team members, including oversight of the AP Manager and Senior Accountant

  • Identify process improvements and strengthen internal controls to support continued growth and acquisitions


Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

  • 8+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience within industry environments

  • Prior leadership experience managing accounting staff

  • Strong cash management, financial close, and financial analysis experience

  • Experience working in rapidly growing, changing, or acquisition-driven organizations

  • Advanced Excel skills including PivotTables and lookup functions
