Assistant Controller

HireFinance

A premier, billion dollar national leader in commercial infrastructure is seeking a technical and operationally-minded Assistant Controller to join their corporate finance team. With a massive national footprint, this organization offers the complexity of a large enterprise with the agility of a high-growth firm. This is an ideal transition for a Big 4 or Top-Tier Public Accounting professional looking to exit into a leadership-track role within a stable, recession-resistant industry. Key Responsibilities Technical Financial Oversight: Direct GAAP-compliant accounting activities, including complex general ledger reconciliations and the management of fixed asset schedules. Corporate Reporting & Close: Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy in financial statements and investigating variances with a critical eye. Audit & Control Leadership: Serve as the primary liaison for external assurance teams. You will develop, monitor, and enforce the internal control framework to ensure the organization remains "audit-ready" at all times. Process Transformation: Participate in system migrations and data integrity projects, moving the department toward continuous improvement and automated workflows. Strategic Support: Manage insurance-related accounting and support corporate-level financial analysis for executive decision-making. Qualifications & "Big 4" Alignment Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting is required. CPA or progress toward CPA is highly preferred. Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience. Candidates with a foundation in Public Accounting (Audit/Assurance) are the primary focus for this search. #J-18808-Ljbffr
