Job description
Position Overview
Lambert Nemec Group is partnering with an established manufacturing organization to recruit an Assistant Controller. This role is ideal for an accounting professional without a professional designation who has built strong hands-on experience and is ready to take on broader responsibilities supporting a Chief Financial Officer in a private business.
The focus of the role is month-end accounting, costing, full cycle accounting, financial analysis, and financial reporting prepared for CFO review. This is not a transactional processing role. There will be some budgeting and forecasting exposure, but the core of the position is accurate, timely month-end results and the analysis behind them.
You will work closely with the CFO and senior leadership, gaining excellent visibility, meaningful responsibility, and the opportunity to learn in a collaborative environment. Your experience, skills, and results are what matter here.
If you are motivated by hands-on accounting, getting to the \"why\" behind the numbers, and professional growth, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
Key Responsibilities
If this opportunity aligns with your background and career goals, please forward your resume (Word format preferred) to [email protected], referencing \"Assistant Controller\" in the subject line.
