Job description

High Profile is partnering with our client to identify an accomplished hands-on Assistant Controller who thrives in a fast-paced, client-focused environment and enjoys solving accounting and business problems not simply producing financial statements. This role combines technical accounting, financial reporting, client advisory, process improvement, and team leadership. You will work across multiple client engagements and priorities, helping organizations strengthen their accounting processes, understand their financial performance, and make better-informed business decisions. The ideal candidate is technically strong enough to dig into a complex reconciliation or general ledger issue, yet polished enough to translate financial information into clear, actionable insights for executives and non-financial professionals. Success in this position requires someone comfortable balancing multiple pressing priorities, navigating different accounting systems and client environments, and taking ownership of issues through resolution.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and oversee timely, accurate financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.
