$175kMadison-Davis, LLC
Overview
A growing financial institution is seeking an experienced CPA to join its Finance organization as an Assistant Controller.

Compensation is targeted up to approximately $175,000 base , depending on experience.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional to gain broad exposure across a midsized financial institution rather than remain within a narrow accounting function.

- Partner closely with the Chief Accounting Officer across controllership activities and strategic initiatives.
- Take meaningful ownership of key accounting, financial reporting, and controllership processes.
