Overview

Assistant Controller (Remote – U.S.)

An established, high-volume distribution business is seeking a hands-on Assistant Controller to own the close, improve processes, and support a private equity–backed growth environment. This role reports to the CFO, is fully remote (CST preferred), and is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves setting.

• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close to deliver accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements.
• Own key balance sheet reconciliations (cash, AR, AP, inventory, accruals) and strengthen accounting policies and controls.
• Act as a power user for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, driving cleanup of legacy data and process improvements.
• Partner with AP/AR, support budgeting and KPI reporting, and prepare schedules and analyses for the CFO and PE stakeholders.

• 5–8 years of progressive accounting experience with significant close and reconciliation ownership (CPA preferred).
• Strong US GAAP knowledge and experience in a distribution or other high-volume environment.
• Mid-market ERP experience (D365 Business Central or similar) and advanced Excel skills.
• Experience in a low- or mid-market private equity–backed company, including exposure to PE-style reporting cadence and KPIs.

If you're eager to take ownership, improve the close, and support a growing PE-backed business, please apply with your resume and a brief note on your relevant experience.
