Controller (Bank/Financial Services experience only)

Why a Great Opportunity

Our benefits are as good as they are affordable since we pay 50% of your the monthly medical premiums, offer 50% premium dental coverage, a life insurance policy, 401K with a company match, and we even pay 100% of the premium for a supplemental short term and long term disability policy. Relocation assistance is also available for non-local hires.

Were located in an area that has great schools, an abundance of cultural and recreational activities, and within a short commuting distance to extremely affordable rural or metropolitan living. Consider living in Schenectady/Niskayuna, the original home of General Electric, Albany, New York, our States Capital which offers urban, suburban and rural living, Troy, NY which is the home of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the concentration of video gaming companies where everything from Mario Brothers to Guitar Hero were created, Saratoga Springs which is a Historical city and home of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, summer home of the Philadelphia Orchestra and New York City Ballet, and the world famous Saratoga Racetrack for thoroughbred horses. We are also within 20 minutes of several small lakes and the Great Sacandaga and are within an hour of Lake George. Since we sit at the base of the Adirondack Mountains, were 3 to 4 hours away from New York City, Boston, Cape Cod and Montreal, this is an ideal place to work, live and raise a family.

Generous Vacation and Sick Time benefits
