Ready to step into a high-impact accounting leadership role without taking on the full Controller title? This fully remote Assistant Controller opportunity offers visibility to executive leadership, ownership of key financial processes, and the chance to make an immediate impact during a critical growth period.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Fully remote position with East Coast working hours.
• Opportunity to partner directly with senior finance leadership and executive stakeholders.
• High-visibility role with meaningful ownership and decision-making influence.
• Join a collaborative, close-knit team where every employee makes a tangible impact.
• Hands-on involvement in budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and month-end close activities.
• Exposure to multiple business systems and cross-functional collaboration with operational teams.
• Work alongside an experienced Controller in a highly analytical environment.
• Stable organization with a strong employee retention culture and long-tenured leadership team.

Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller:

• Prepare and record revenue transactions.
• Perform variance analysis and provide financial insights to leadership.
• Support budgeting and forecasting processes.
• Reconcile balance sheet accounts and resolve discrepancies.
• Manage daily cash activity and related accounting functions.
• Prepare month-end close schedules and supporting documentation for Controller review.

Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field.
• 10+ years of progressive corporate accounting experience.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP and internal controls.
• Advanced experience with variance analysis and financial reporting.
• Strong Excel skills including Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs.
• CPA background or prior Controller-level experience is highly preferred.
