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)
