If you enjoy understanding the full financial picture, working directly with accounting leadership, and taking ownership of detailed work across multiple entities, this opportunity offers that breadth.

We’re conducting a confidential search for an Assistant Controller to support a privately held organization with business and investment activities. You’ll work closely with the Controller and CFO on accounting operations, financial reporting, and tax-related support.

This is a hands-on position for someone who brings sound accounting judgment and follows through on the details. You should feel equally comfortable reconciling accounts, researching a discrepancy, preparing financial statements, and helping leadership work through a more complex accounting question.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Varied work: Build on your accounting experience through exposure to multiple entities, investment accounting, and tax planning support.
• Direct access to leadership: Work closely with the Controller and CFO and contribute information they use to make decisions.
• Room to deepen your expertise: Learn from experienced accounting professionals and outside advisors.
• A long-term opportunity: Join an organization seeking someone who wants to develop a thorough understanding of its operations and contribute over time.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain general ledgers and accurate financial records across multiple entities.
• Prepare journal entries, reconcile accounts, and support month-end and year-end close.
• Prepare financial statements, account analyses, and supporting schedules.
• Record and reconcile intercompany activity, contributions, distributions, and investment transactions.
• Handle transactional accounting responsibilities, including receipts, disbursements, invoices, and expense reimbursements.
• Assist the internal tax team and external advisors with workpapers, reconciliations, supporting schedules, and information requests.
• Support tax and estate planning activities through financial analysis and documentation.
• Research discrepancies, resolve accounting issues, and maintain clear supporting records.
• Exercise discretion when handling sensitive financial information.

What You Bring

• A master’s degree in Accounting.
• Experience independently managing general ledger accounting, reconciliations, financial reporting, and closing activities.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel.
• The ability to organize competing priorities across multiple entities.
• A willingness to handle both routine transactions and complex assignments.
• Strong analytical skills, clear communication, and careful attention to accuracy.
• Professional judgment, integrity, and a consistent commitment to confidentiality.

Preferred: An active CPA license and experience in public accounting, investment accounting, or a closely held business. Tax experience is strongly preferred, but candidates with strong accounting fundamentals and a willingness to develop their tax knowledge should apply.

Location and Schedule

Beaumont is the preferred location; while Houston candidates may also receive consideration. The position requires regular in-office attendance and follows standard business hours, approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is not a remote position.
