Full Job Description

Assistant Controller | Tampa, FL | $115,000 to $130,000 base + 10% bonus + full benefits

A well-established manufacturer in Tampa is hiring an Assistant Controller to take on a broad accounting leadership role with real day-to-day influence over how the finance function runs. You'll manage two direct reports, work closely with the Corporate Controller and CFO, and serve as the team's go-to person for the trickier technical accounting issues that come up in a multi-location operation, things like sale-leasebacks and debt modifications, where you need to research the right GAAP treatment and defend it to external auditors.

This is a hybrid role: on-site daily for the first 30 days, then three days a week in the company's downtown Tampa office afterward.

What you'll own

Manage two direct reports, an AR Specialist and a Credit and Collections Specialist, overseeing receivables, credit decisions, and collections.
Serve as the primary point of contact for complex, non-recurring technical accounting matters, including sale-leasebacks and debt modifications, and communicate GAAP positions confidently to external auditors.
Coordinate with outside tax accountants on provision, compliance, and related deliverables. A tax background isn't required, but you'll need to learn and manage the provision process.
Own the internal control environment for financial reporting, including design, effectiveness, and ongoing compliance with company policy and audit standards.
Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including analysis of results and maintenance of the general ledger and supporting schedules.
Coach and develop accounting staff, balancing performance management with longer-term professional growth.
Prepare quarterly and annual GAAP financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, stockholders' equity, cash flows) along with materials for the Audit Committee.
Identify opportunities for process improvement across corporate and plant finance and lead those initiatives from planning through execution.
Review and approve account reconciliations, making sure they're both timely and substantively reviewed, not just completed.
Bring forward your own ideas and recommendations to the Controller, CFO, and senior leadership, rather than waiting to be asked.
Track and close out audit findings within your areas of responsibility on a timely basis.

What they need from you

Active CPA license. Candidates who've passed three sections and are committed to sitting for the fourth will be considered.
Bachelor's degree in accounting.
Minimum six years of accounting or finance experience, either public accounting alone or a mix of public and industry.
A genuine track record of driving process improvements, not just identifying where things could be better.
Comfortable managing a team that includes both newer hires and long-tenured employees, with a mix of empathy and accountability.
Strong technical accounting skills, with the ability to research and clearly explain GAAP positions on complex transactions.
Experience strengthening internal controls in a lean, multi-entity environment.
Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and Word skills.
Strong communication skills, including experience presenting to senior leadership.
Able to commit to five days on-site for the first 30 days, then three days a week afterward.
Manufacturing or multi-location experience is a plus, particularly familiarity with plant finance or logistics.
MBA or MAcc is a plus.
Experience with a large-scale ERP system.
A blend of public accounting and industry experience is preferred.
Has led a cross-functional project end to end, including the change management component.
Low-ego, adaptable, and comfortable in a small, focused team environment.

Why this one's worth a look

Broad scope across general accounting, reporting, AR, AP, payroll, tax coordination, and controls, with direct exposure to the CFO and senior leadership team.
Meaningful technical work, including sale-leasebacks, debt modifications, and other complex transactions that will sharpen your skill set.
A hybrid schedule of three days in office after the initial 30-day period, based out of a well-located Tampa facility.
Competitive base of $115,000 to $130,000 plus a 10% bonus tied to company performance.
Room to make a visible impact in a role with real scope and access to leadership.
