Assistant Controller Apply
Job Description
Assistant Controller (Fast Track to Controller) – $110K–$130K + Bonus
The Opportunity You Don’t See Often…
If you’re an Accountant or Senior Accountant who’s thinking:
- “What’s my path to Controller?”
- “When do I actually get to run things?”
This is that opportunity.
We’re partnering with a growing, well-backed construction/manufacturing business in the Hunt Valley area that is hiring an Assistant Controller to work directly under a highly respected Head of Finance.
This isn’t a back-office, keep-the-lights-on role.
- This is a succession plan.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Clear path to Controller (targeted in 2–3 years)
- Report directly to a proven finance leader overseeing multiple business units
- Be the point person for an entire division (~$20M business unit)
- Get exposure to FP&A, analytics, and operational decision-making
- Help build and hire your own team
- Backed by a large global parent company with strong systems and controls
- Recently implemented SAP
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own the accounting for a full business unit
- Partner with operations on real-world financial decisions
- Improve processes, reporting, and close timelines
- Work closely with leadership on performance and analysis
- Help scale the function as the business grows
Who This Is Perfect For
- 5–6 years of experience in:
- Public accounting (especially with industrial clients), OR
- Construction / manufacturing / project-based accounting
- Someone who wants more ownership, not just another title
- Someone who can operate in a fast-paced, blue-collar, deadline-driven environment
- Someone who wants to grow into a Controller role
Comp & Perks
- $110K–$130K base + bonus
- True 40-hour work week
- No late nights, no weekends
- In-office, collaborative team environment
- Casual culture (jeans, t-shirts, no nonsense)
Location
Hunt Valley, MD (near a very popular local spot — easy access, great area)
