Role Summary

Reporting to the Controller, the Assistant Controller is a hands‑on, detail‑oriented accounting professional responsible for the day‑to‑day execution of accounting and bookkeeping activities across the group of companies. This role is critical to ensure transactions are recorded accurately, reconciliations are completed, and financial information is prepared correctly and on time.

The role operates in an evolving environment. The successful candidate is comfortable learning on the job, adapting to change, and working through ambiguity as processes are refined over time.

Initially, the role is heavily focused on execution, accuracy, and process discipline. As accounting processes and workflows mature, the Assistant Controller will progressively become the first point of contact for Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Inventory accounting matters, providing day‑to‑day guidance and issue resolution under the direction of the Controller.

This role supports the Controller by owning detailed accounting work, coordinating across teams, and escalating judgment‑based or complex matters as required.

Core Competencies

  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
  • Strong deadline consciousness and time management
  • Accountability and follow‑through
  • Hands‑on problem solving
  • Planning, organization, and prioritizing work
  • Clear communication and documentation
  • Integrity and professional judgment
  • Comfort working through ambiguity and evolving priorities
  • Openness to change and continuous learning

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform and oversee full‑cycle accounting activities including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
  • Maintain accurate general ledger records and supporting schedules
  • Ensure subledgers (AP, AR, Inventory, payroll interfaces) reconcile to the general ledger
  • Identify, investigate, and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner
  • Own assigned components of the monthly, quarterly, and year‑end close process
  • Prepare balance sheet reconciliations and variance explanations
  • Ensure close deadlines are consistently met and issues are escalated early
  • Assist with the preparation of internal financial statements and management reports
  • Initially support AP, AR, and Inventory teams by assisting with issue resolution and data review
  • As processes and workflows are established, serve as the first point of contact for day‑to‑day AP, AR, and Inventory accounting questions within established processes, ensuring accurate data flow
  • Ensure transactions are recorded in accordance with established procedures and timelines
  • Support compliance with tax filings and regulatory reporting by preparing accurate underlying data
  • Assist with system clean‑up, data validation, testing, and process improvements
  • Identify process inefficiencies or recurring issues and recommend practical improvements
  • Collaborate with the Controller and finance team to refine processes, clarify workflows, and improve how work moves across the organization
  • Contribute to a culture of accuracy, accountability, and respect for deadlines
  • Requirements

  • Strong hands‑on bookkeeping or full‑cycle accounting experience required
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in accounting or bookkeeping roles
  • Solid understanding of general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and close processes
  • Strong Excel skills (e.g., pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation tools)
  • Experience in manufacturing, inventory, or multi‑entity environments is highly desirable
  • Experience working daily in ERP or accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks); Microsoft Navision / Business Central experience is a strong asset
  • CPA designation is not required; practical accounting experience is prioritized
  • This role is well‑suited to someone who enjoys accurate accounting, values teamwork, and takes pride in improving how things work over time.
