Description This is not a routine accounting position. We are looking for an Assistant Controller who wants to step into a visible, high-impact role where strong accounting leadership, process improvement, technology, and operational discipline will help support the continued growth of the business. This role is for someone who understands that Accounting can be more than a department that reports what already happened. Done well, Accounting becomes a trusted business partner — creating accuracy, structure, efficiency, accountability, and confidence across the organization. We are also looking for someone who is excited about where accounting is going. This includes embracing systems, automation, AI, and better use of technology to reduce repetitive work, improve efficiency, strengthen reporting, and allow the team to focus on higher-value work. We are looking for the person who can help make that happen! The Opportunity This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to help strengthen and modernize an accounting function inside a growing company. You will work closely with the Controller and senior leadership to improve accounting operations, support a faster and more reliable close process, strengthen controls, and help create the structure needed as the business continues to evolve. This is a hands-on accounting role with real influence. The right person will be able to bring ideas, improve how work gets done, help guide the team, and create better processes that support the business at a higher level. You will not be asked to figure everything out alone. You will be working with strong leaders who bring a valuable mix of industry knowledge, outside experience, guidance, and support — while still giving you the autonomy to take ownership and make an impact. Why This Role Stands Out This position offers the opportunity to help shape what a strong, modern accounting organization looks like. VP Supply as a company is large enough to invest in systems, training, technology, and career development, but still small enough that your work will be visible and meaningful. Our company is growing, evolving, and looking for someone who can help bring structure, discipline, efficiency, and leadership to the accounting function. For the right person, this is a chance to build something meaningful and position yourself for long-term career growth.
