If you are a public accounting senior ready to take everything you have learned into an industry seat where you own the books and can see a real path upward, this is the seat.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Growth you can feel. Revenue has climbed rapidly over the past few years and the accounting team is expanding to keep pace.

• A brand new seat. This role is being created, not backfilled, so you will shape how the general ledger is run.

• A clear path up. The role is designed to grow into Assistant Controller, with the opportunity to build and lead your own team.

• Built for public accounting talent. You will work closely with a Controller who came up through public accounting and values that foundation.

• Broad technical exposure. Consolidations, intercompany, leases, fixed assets, and public company reporting all run through this role.
