Assistant Controller:

Overland Property Group is seeking an experienced, motivated, and highly capable Assistant Controller to join our accounting leadership team.

As OPG continues to grow, this position will take on increasing responsibility across financial reporting, accounting operations, systems, internal controls, process improvement, and strategic initiatives. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, taking ownership, and building scalable accounting systems in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment while still handing all the firms basic bookkeeping/accounting work.
