$140K–$160K + Annual Bonus | Direct Path to Corporate Controller
If you’re an accounting leader looking for a role where career acceleration, impact, and stability intersect, this one deserves your attention.
This newly created role at this company, located in Houston—reporting directly to the newly promoted VP of Accounting—is designed as his right hand, succession plan, and strategic partner during a period of transformation. This is not backfilling someone’s seat… this is stepping into a mission-critical role the company has never opened before.
⭐ Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Immediate executive visibility working side‑by‑side with the VP during a company-wide evolution, including an ERP implementation and structural improvements.
- True succession path — this role is intentionally built to progress to Corporate Controller within 3 to 5 years, based on mastery and impact. (Not theoretical. Not “maybe someday.” It’s the plan.)
- Family‑owned, people‑first culture with genuine work‑life balance, strong leadership support, and long-tenured teams that stay because they’re valued.
- High‑impact work, spanning policy development, audit readiness, technical accounting, cross‑department communication, and key‑person coverage. This is hands‑on and strategic.
- Strong benefits include subsidized medical/dental, 401(k) with match, annual merit reviews, bonus eligibility, and negotiable PTO.
📌 What You’ll Lead
- Become the VP’s primary backup across all accounting functions.
- Own complex technical accounting, audit interface, and policy development.
- Oversee journal entries, reconciliations, and financial accuracy.
- Play a key role in ERP implementation, process improvements, and change management.
- Build strong partnerships across departments — communication is key.
🎯 Who Will Thrive Here
- Public accounting foundation + industry experience (Assistant Controller or Controller-level).
- Personable, communicative, adaptable — someone who builds trust quickly
- Hands-on, capable, strategic, and ready to grow into the Controller seat.
