Assistant Controller
Greater New Haven, CT (Hybrid)
Compensation: Up to $185k+/- and includes AMAZING benefits!!!
Are you ready to step into a deputy-level finance leadership role at one of Connecticut’s most respected institutions? This is a chance to own finance operations across a large, complex organization while building something that lasts.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Serve as deputy to the Associate Controller, giving you direct exposure to senior leadership and a clear line of sight to the next level
- Join a world-class, highly stable institution with a strong reputation and long-term mission
- Enjoy a hybrid schedule that supports balance and flexibility
- Lead multiple teams with broad scope across several operational units, far beyond a single-entity controllership

- Work in a modern Workday environment
- Be the go-to finance expert whose judgment shapes operations-wide decisions and strategic planning
Key Responsibilities

- Oversee key administrative functions such as onboarding, system access approvals, and staff training
- Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing finance team
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree with 7+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience; CPA and/or public accounting background highly preferred
- Strong command of financial accounting, reporting, and internal controls
- Proven experience leading teams within a large, decentralized organization
- Advanced Excel skills; Workday experience a plus
