Assistant Controller

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Assistant Controller to be a key financial leader on our team, owning accounting operations, financial statement reporting, and internal controls. You’ll report to the Controller and work closely with our CFO, Director of Treasury, and Director of FP&A to run the day-to-day accounting function, with the close process front and center. Your work makes sure our reported results are accurate, compliant, and trusted by everyone who relies on them.

This role is a strong fit if you’ve spent time in asset-centric or professional services businesses; you care about getting the details right, and you’d rather improve a process than work around it.

What You’ll Do

• Run a Strong Close Process
• Build and own a rigorous “record to report” close that delivers timely, complete, and accurate results in line with applicable accounting standards. Then keep refining it — every cycle is a chance to make the next one better.
• Set the Standard for Procedures and Compliance
• Develop and maintain the policies, SOPs, and desktop procedures that protect company assets and keep us aligned with accounting standards and regulatory requirements. This includes owning standard balance sheet reconciliations and coding accuracy. You’ll also stay on top of debt covenants and serve as the primary liaison for external auditors during the annual audit.
• Improve Our Systems and Processes
• Become the accounting subject matter expert on our ERP and related software. Identify what’s working, fix what isn’t, and bring in technology that genuinely improves quality, productivity, and operational efficiency.
• Lead and Develop the Team
• Coach and mentor members of the accounting team. Build a collaborative, high-performance group where people grow. Be a true player/coach — give the feedback, then step in and do the work alongside them when it’s needed.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 5-7 years of progressive accounting experience, including time in a senior or leadership role (Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, Senior Accounting Manager, or Controller)
• Solid, demonstrable understanding of GAAP
• Strong ERP experience (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar) and advanced Excel
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• A track record of mentoring and elevating accounting staff, even without direct reports
• Audit-ready mindset; experience as the primary point of contact for external audits
• Clear, confident written and verbal communication — you can present financials to executives, auditors, and lenders and hold the room
• High ownership, low ego — you help set the standard and you do the work

Preferred:

• CPA or CPA Candidate
• Experience with professional services firms or asset-centric businesses
