Assistant Controller

Full-time

Red Wolf Logistics

Hands-on today, leading the team tomorrow.

Red Wolf Global Logistics is a growing freight brokerage in Chicago, and we’re looking for an Assistant Controller who wants to do the work, not just manage it. Right now this role is the accounting engine behind our brokerage.

What you’ll do

  • Run customer billing, cash application, and collections in TAI TMS, and resolve short pays and disputes
  • Process carrier payables, including quick pay, factoring, and freight-in-transit accruals
  • Own weekly and monthly commission settlements for our independent freight agents, including statements, chargebacks, and balance reconciliations
  • Build agent program reporting: revenue, margin, and performance by agent office
  • Track cargo claims from filing through resolution, including recoveries and chargebacks
  • Prepare entries, accruals, and reconciliations for month-end close
  • Be the point person for audits, 1099s, tax payments, and annual filings
  • Be the go-to accounting user for TAI TMS

What you bring

  • Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or CPA-eligible a plus)
  • 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience in freight brokerage and a 3pl evironment
  • How money moves in a brokerage: billing, carrier pay, quick pay, factoring, claims, and agent commissions
  • TAI TMS experience strongly preferred, plus advanced Excel
  • You’re comfortable doing the detail work yourself, and you want to build and lead a team as we grow

Why Red Wolf

  • A seat at the table early in a company that’s growing
  • A clear path from individual contributor to leader
