Assistant Controller

Overview: A growing financial institution is seeking an experienced CPA to join its Finance organization as an Assistant Controller. This is a senior, high-visibility position that will serve as a key partner to the Chief Accounting Officer across financial reporting, technical accounting, internal controls, regulatory reporting, and broader controllership initiatives. Compensation is targeted up to approximately $175,000 base, depending on experience. This is an opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional to gain broad exposure across a midsized financial institution rather than remain within a narrow accounting function. The Assistant Controller will work closely with senior accounting leadership, collaborate across business functions, and play a meaningful role in upcoming accounting, technology, and systems transformation initiatives. The ideal candidate combines rigorous Big 4 training with hands-on industry accounting experience, preferably within financial services. The organization is particularly interested in someone who is commercially curious, wants to understand the business end-to-end, and has a clear long-term interest in progressing toward a Controller, CAO, or CFO role.
