Controller, Accounting, Office Administrator​/ Coordinator

About us:

In business since 1928, Atthowe is now a worker‑owned company exclusively dedicated to the handling of fine art. We provide temperature and humidity‑controlled art storage solutions, air and ground transportation support as well as crating, mounting, and installation services. Our company has changed and grown over time, but always with the same focus of providing outstanding, quality service in a friendly and caring environment.

We pride ourselves on our decades of outstanding service and our art‑loving, hard‑working, dedicated team. We cherish our long history, but we also value our forward‑thinking, innovative practices. Atthowe Fine Art Services is an equal opportunity employer. We do not and shall not discriminate based on race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of our activities or operations.

We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our staff, our clients, and our community.

Atthowe Fine Art Services is seeking a motivated, detail‑oriented Controller to support our Finance team. As a sole proprietorship founded by Scott Atthowe in the 1970s and continuing as an employee‑owned California cooperative founded in 2021, Atthowe Fine Art Services has a proud history of stewardship and collaborative problem‑solving for the needs of artworks and cultural treasures. We value transparency, shared responsibility, and thoughtful stewardship—principles that make accurate and timely financial information essential to our work.

The role requires a high degree of coordination, administrative rigor, and knowledge of accounting systems and programs, as well as an understanding that numbers tell important stories about people and projects. Ideal candidates will bring strong accounting fundamentals, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and experience in or curiosity about the arts, construction, small business, and/or cooperative principles. As is common in a collaborative small‑business environment, the Controller will occasionally work beyond the traditional boundaries of accounting, so flexibility, initiative, and a willingness to learn and grow in a fast‑paced, client‑focused setting are keys to success.
