This position is intentionally designed as a hands-on accounting role.  The Assistant Controller will personally perform accounting work and will not function solely as a manager or reviewer. The successful candidate must be comfortable working directly in the accounting system, researching transactions, preparing reconciliations, processing accounting activity, and resolving day-to-day issues. On any given day, responsibilities may include preparing a journal entry, reconciling a bank account, reviewing an invoice, assisting with a payment run, following up on a receivable, researching a job-cost discrepancy, preparing a WIP schedule, or completing month-end close procedures. 

As the individual develops within the position, responsibilities are expected to shift progressively toward oversight, financial reporting, internal controls, budgeting, forecasting, staff development, and management of the overall accounting function.

The ideal candidate will enjoy being hands-on and detail-oriented while possessing the ability and ambition to grow into a financial leadership position.
