Assistant Controller

Who We Are

We work hands-on inside founder-led companies, helping them build reliable financial infrastructure, operate with discipline, and make better decisions. Our goal is not just to deliver excellent work for our clients, but to develop our team into strong future finance leaders and operators.

The Opportunity

• Own the integrity of financial data and reporting
• Build scalable accounting processes and controls
• Support leadership with reliable, decision-ready financial information
• Operate inside growing, often messy environments

In this role, you will:

• Own or support month-end close, including journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation
• Maintain the general ledger and ensure accuracy across transactions and classifications
• Oversee or coordinate AP, AR, payroll, and other core accounting processes
• Support cash tracking and basic cash flow visibility
• Ensure compliance with GAAP and client accounting policies
• Identify and implement process improvements and documentation
• Prepare schedules and support audits, tax filings, and external reporting
• Partner with Controllers and EMs to ensure financial data supports planning and decision-making

Your job is not just to close the books.

Your job is to ensure leadership can trust the numbers.
