Assistant Controller

We’re partnering with a globally recognized services company on an exciting Assistant Controller opportunity based in Chicago.

This is a high-visibility role within a growing global finance organization, offering exposure to complex technical accounting, international consolidations, M&A activity, and direct interaction with a foreign parent company. The organization continues to experience strong growth and expansion, creating significant long-term leadership potential.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead and support technical accounting matters including equity accounting, purchase accounting, and complex transactions

• Leading consolidated financial reporting across both domestic and international entities

• Support global audits, internal controls, and regulatory compliance

• Lead accounting process standardization and improvements

• Work closely with Treasury, Reporting, and Finance leadership on strategic initiatives

• Help drive automation and scalability across reporting functions

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Succession planning and strong upward mobility

• High-impact role with executive visibility

• Hybrid flexibility (2–3 days in office)

• Collaborative and highly respected leadership team

• Culture that values professional growth, flexibility, and work-life balance

Ideal Background:

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience

• Public accounting foundation strongly preferred (Big 4 or nationally recognized firm)

• Experience working in a multinational or multi-entity environment

• Exposure to consolidations and reporting systems such as OneStream

• Strong technical accounting experience
