Assistant Controller

Assistant Controller

PFS Co. is a fast-growing, multi-entity organization that embraces growth, develops leaders, and offers outstanding career advancement opportunities. More than just a workplace, we're a business family with a fun, energetic atmosphere, and we're proud of our Swagger.

Our finance function is not a back-office cost center — it's a competitive advantage built on modern ERP, large-scale data analytics, and emerging AI tooling.

We are looking for an Assistant Controller who shares that orientation and wants to help push the function even further ahead of where most companies our size are operating.

This is not a maintenance role. If you are an ambitious accounting professional who builds dashboards for fun, has strong opinions about ERP design, and has been waiting for a leadership team that lets you actually deploy AI tooling rather than just talk about it — keep reading.
