Why This Role Matters

As Assistant Controller, you will be the backbone of financial accuracy and process efficiency. Working closely with the Controller, you’ll guide a small but capable team, oversee the month- and quarter-end close, and ensure key controls are operating effectively. Beyond the numbers, you’ll help shape smarter, leaner ways of working—whether that’s streamlining journal approvals, implementing automation, or supporting an upcoming system transformation.

• Lead and mentor a small team of accounting professionals, fostering engagement, development, and accountability.

• Manage the monthly and quarterly close cycle, ensuring entries, reconciliations, and reporting are timely, accurate, and fully supported.

• Review and approve journal entries while monitoring balance sheet and income statement activity for accuracy and insight.

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to resolve accounting issues, strengthen processes, and support strategic initiatives.

• Maintain compliance with financial controls and audit requirements, ensuring a strong Controllership mindset across the team.

• Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for automation, simplification, and process refinement.

• ERP/system upgrades and bring forward ideas to modernize accounting operations.

What You Bring

• CPA designation.

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including exposure to public accounting, audit, or a large corporate environment.

• Previous leadership or supervisory experience is a strong asset.

• Solid technical knowledge across general accounting, financial reporting, reconciliations, and internal controls.

• Advanced Excel skills; experience working with or auditing large companies.

• A problem-solving mindset with the curiosity to challenge the status quo and suggest better ways forward.

• Clear communication skills and the ability to translate complex accounting details into concise insights.

What’s in It for You

• Competitive base salary of $105-110K plus a 15% bonus .

• Hybrid work model (3 days remote).

• Permanent role with real growth potential.  This isn’t just filling a gap; it’s a strategic long-term hire.

• The chance to shape processes, influence change, and step into a Director-track role over time.

• Supportive leadership and a collaborative culture that values both precision and innovation.
