Are you a strong accounting professional who wants to grow into a Controller role?

Syscon, Inc. is looking for an Assistant Controller who is humble, hungry, and smart. This person will step into an important accounting role, learn our business, master our internal processes, and grow into the Controller seat within one year.

This is not a role for someone who wants to come in and immediately change everything. It is a role for someone who can learn quickly, take direction well, pay close attention to details, and earn trust through accuracy, follow through, and sound judgment.

Founded in 1986, Syscon provides technology solutions and IT support services. We foster a culture where our employees, clients, and company grow and succeed together.

As a successful member of our team, you:

• Treat clients and colleagues with respect and compassion
• Embrace a team-first mentality — no egos, no drama
• Take initiative and ownership of your responsibilities
• Ask questions, seek solutions, and take pride in your work
• Value growth and use feedback to improve
• Contribute fully, whether the task is big or small

You’ll thrive as an Assistant Controller if you bring:

• 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience
• A BA or BS in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Strong accrual accounting experience
• Experience with financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, and forecasting
• Understanding of income statements, balance sheets, cash flow, and indirect cost allocation
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills
• Ability to work through detailed financial information with accuracy
• Comfort taking direction, asking questions, and learning established processes
• Strong communication, follow through, and organizational skills
• A growth mindset and desire to move into a Controller role

Bonus if you have:

• Experience with Sage 100 Contractor or Acumatica
• Cost accounting experience
• Job costing experience
• Experience in a small or mid-sized company
• Experience supporting process improvement or system clean up
• Prior Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, Senior Accountant, or similar experience

Key responsibilities:

• Support day-to-day accounting and financial operations
• Prepare and review reconciliations, reports, and supporting schedules
• Assist with monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Help improve financial systems, policies, and processes
• Review costs, allocations, and financial details for accuracy
• Support internal stakeholders with reporting and financial information
• Assist with audits, compliance, and accounting best practices
• Learn Syscon’s accounting structure, reporting expectations, and internal processes
• Build toward broader finance leadership responsibilities over time

Come grow with us! APPLY HERE if you're interested in:

• Making a meaningful impact at a small, fast-paced company
• Building toward a larger finance leadership role
• Working with a team that values accuracy, ownership, and follow through
• Learning the business before taking full ownership
• Having your contributions valued as you grow
