Job description

Ferreri Search is partnering with a growing organization to identify an Assistant Controller for a key position within its accounting leadership team. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who has worked in a complex, multi-entity environment and is ready to take on broader responsibility and increased exposure to senior leadership. The ideal candidate will have aspirations of becoming a Controller in the near future.

What You’ll Do

• Support month-end close and consolidated financial reporting
• Manage and review intercompany transactions, reconciliations, and eliminations
• Support multi-entity consolidations and financial statement preparation
• Partner with accounting leadership on reporting, controls, and process improvement
• Support external audit activities
• Assist with accounting integrations and organizational growth initiatives
• Help improve and automate accounting processes
• Work across multiple business units and legal entities

What We’re Looking For

• Progressive corporate accounting experience
• Strong multi-entity accounting and consolidation experience
• Hands‑on experience with intercompany accounting and eliminations
• Strong month-end close and financial reporting background
• Experience with payroll-intensive or high-volume accounting environments is highly valued
• Strong understanding of GAAP and internal controls
• ERP experience; Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central experience is a plus
• Ability to work effectively in a growing, evolving accounting environment

Candidates coming from staffing, workforce solutions, payroll/HCM, business services, or similarly complex multi-entity environments may be particularly well aligned.

Why Consider It?

This position offers broader responsibility than a traditional Accounting Manager role, significant exposure to accounting leadership, and the opportunity to grow as the organization continues to evolve.

If you’ve built your accounting career in a complex organization and are looking for a role with greater scope and a path toward Controller-level responsibility, we’d like to hear from you.
