16th April, 2026
Assistant Controller (Fast Track to Controller) – $110K–$130K + Bonus
The Opportunity You Don’t See Often…
If you’re an Accountant or Senior Accountant who’s thinking:
“What’s my path to Controller?”
“When do I actually get to run things?”
This is that opportunity.
We’re partnering with a growing, well-backed construction/manufacturing business in the Hunt Valley area that is hiring an Assistant Controller to work directly under a highly respected Head of Finance.
This isn’t a back-office, keep-the-lights-on role.
This is a succession plan.
Why This Role Stands Out
Clear path to Controller (targeted in 2–3 years)
Report directly to a proven finance leader overseeing multiple business units
Be the point person for an entire division (~$20M business unit)
Get exposure to FP&A, analytics, and operational decision-making
Help build and hire your own team
Backed by a large global parent company with strong systems and controls
Recently implemented SAP
What You’ll Be Doing
Own the accounting for a full business unit
Partner with operations on real-world financial decisions
Improve processes, reporting, and close timelines
Work closely with leadership on performance and analysis
Help scale the function as the business grows
Who This Is Perfect For
5–6 years of experience in:
Public accounting (especially with industrial clients), OR
Construction / manufacturing / project-based accounting
Someone who wants more ownership, not just another title
Someone who can operate in a fast-paced, blue-collar, deadline-driven environment
Someone who wants to grow into a Controller role
