Assistant Controller

Accounting Manager / Assistant Controller

• Salary: $115,000–$135,000 base + up to 20% bonus
• Location: Washington, DC Metro preferred;
  Eastern or Central time zones considered
• Office Situation: Remote with occasional meetings in the Washington, DC area

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Growth Without Giving Up the Hands-On Work: If you're an experienced accounting professional who still enjoys being hands-on but wants more exposure, flexibility and room to grow, this role offers the opportunity to expand your scope without giving up the work you enjoy.
• Direct CFO Exposure & Autonomy: You’ll have direct access to the CFO, plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to make an immediate impact. As you learn the business, your scope can grow into broader close, financial reporting and accounting leadership responsibilities.
• The benefits are a major plus: The company pays 85% of employee and dependent medical, dental and vision premiums, including a Platinum-level medical plan with no in-network annual deductible. You'll also receive a 401(k) with up to a 4% employer match, a paid company closure from December 24 through January 1, regular paid holidays and professional development reimbursement.
• Flexibility & Trust: The culture is flexible, collaborative and built around trust and independence. Leadership gives employees room to manage their responsibilities without micromanagement, while company outings, happy hours and other events give the team opportunities to stay connected.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage accounting for assigned entities, including AP, AR and bank reconciliations
• Prepare journal entries, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations
• Support month-end, quarterly and year-end close
• Prepare financial statements and management reporting
• Support multi-entity accounting, intercompany activity and consolidations
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
• Partner directly with the CFO on financial analysis and special projects
• Progressively take on broader close and financial reporting ownership

Qualifications:

• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller or comparable-level background
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or related field
• Hands-on GL, month-end close, journal entries and reconciliations
• Financial statement preparation/reporting
• AP and AR accounting experience
• Strong GAAP knowledge
• Advanced Excel
• Quick Books

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who wants to remain hands-on while continuing to grow, work directly with senior leadership, and enjoy the flexibility of a primarily remote position.
