Assistant Controller

Ferreri Search
Petersburg, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 9/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/16/2026

Ferreri Search is partnering with a growing organization to identify an Assistant Controller for a key position within its accounting leadership team. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who has worked in a complex, multi-entity environment and is ready to take on broader responsibility and increased exposure to senior leadership. The ideal candidate will have aspirations of becoming a Controller in the near future.


What You'll Do

  • Support month-end close and consolidated financial reporting
  • Manage and review intercompany transactions, reconciliations, and eliminations
  • Support multi-entity consolidations and financial statement preparation
  • Partner with accounting leadership on reporting, controls, and process improvement
  • Support external audit activities
  • Assist with accounting integrations and organizational growth initiatives
  • Help improve and automate accounting processes
  • Work across multiple business units and legal entities


What We're Looking For

  • Progressive corporate accounting experience
  • Strong multi-entity accounting and consolidation experience
  • Hands-on experience with intercompany accounting and eliminations
  • Strong month-end close and financial reporting background
  • Experience with payroll-intensive or high-volume accounting environments is highly valued
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and internal controls
  • ERP experience; Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central experience is a plus
  • Ability to work effectively in a growing, evolving accounting environment

Candidates coming from staffing, workforce solutions, payroll/HCM, business services, or similarly complex multi-entity environments may be particularly well aligned.


Why Consider It?

This position offers broader responsibility than a traditional Accounting Manager role, significant exposure to accounting leadership, and the opportunity to grow as the organization continues to evolve.

If you've built your accounting career in a complex organization and are looking for a role with greater scope and a path toward Controller-level responsibility, we'd like to hear from you.
