About the role

Assistant Controller / Director of Accounting (title flexible for the right candidate)

Location:

Northern Virginia (Hybrid)

Industry:

Technology

Compensation:

$175K to $240K base plus equity, with a strong benefits package

The Opportunity

Synergy Search is conducting a confidential search for an Assistant Controller / Director of Accounting on behalf of a venture backed technology company that is scaling fast. This is a newly created role with controller level ownership: you will run the global close and consolidation and rebuild the processes behind them as the company grows.

If you are a builder who likes building scalable processes, moving fast, and seeing your work make a visible difference, this is the seat.

Why This Role Stands Out

Real ownership.

You own the close and consolidation end to end. It is effectively a controller role, and the title can flex to match your experience.

Visible impact.

Rebuilding the close is the top priority, so your wins will be noticed right away.

Strong benefits.

Fully covered medical, dental, and vision, unlimited PTO, a 401(k) match, and flexible hours.

What You Will Own

  • Own the global month end close across a multi entity, multi country structure
  • Rebuild and streamline the close process to deliver an accurate, on time close
  • Clean up and run intercompany accounting and consolidations
  • Lead and develop regional accounting managers and staff across time zones
  • Stay hands on in the ERP: post entries, reconcile, and fix issues at the source
  • Strengthen systems, controls, and workflows to support the next stage of scale
  • Partner with accounting leadership, FP&A, and operations on reporting and audit readiness

What You Need

  • Direct ownership of the close and consolidations across multiple entities
  • Close ownership at a company with at minimum $100M+ in revenue
  • Hands on operator who works directly in the systems, not just a reviewer
  • Proven process improver with at least one of the following: process design, a systems implementation, or a close or consolidation cleanup
  • Thrives in a fast paced, constantly evolving, tech forward environment

What Sets You Apart

  • 8 to 15+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Public accounting foundation followed by industry experience
  • Exposure to inventory and COGS from manufacturing, distribution, or a product company
  • Government contracting experience / SaaS / Technology / Manufacturing industries.
  • IFRS or international accounting experience is a plus.
  • Experience managing global or distributed teams
  • Background at a high growth or venture backed company
  • CPA

Good to Know

  • Hybrid schedule, primarily in office, near public transit
  • Roughly quarterly international travel

Frequently asked questions

Answers about finding your next role

What can I search for?

Search by job title or keyword, then browse remote, hybrid, and onsite openings in one list.

Where can I find remote jobs?

Browse remote openings on Remote Amigo. Search by job title or keyword, then choose Remote in the work format filter. Check each listing for location or country requirements.

How do I narrow the results?

Choose a country, work format, minimum annual salary, and experience level. You can change or clear the filters at any time.

What will I see on a job page?

Each listing shows the role, company, location, work format, salary when available, skills when provided, and a job description.

Do I need an account to browse jobs?

No. You can search and read the available listings without signing in.

Does this site submit job applications for me?

No. You can search and review listings here. The Apply button starts the job preference quiz; it does not submit an application to an employer.

Where do the jobs come from?

Listings are imported from public job feeds and job sites. Job details may change at the original source, so confirm the latest information before applying.

How recent are the listings?

Search results include listings with a publication date in the last 30 days. If a source provides no publication date, the import date is used; the actual posting may be older.

Can I search for remote jobs only?

Yes. Select Remote in the job type filter to show remote listings. You can switch to Hybrid or Onsite whenever you want.

What is the difference between remote, hybrid, and onsite?

Remote roles are intended to be done away from an office. Hybrid roles combine remote and office work. Onsite roles are based at a workplace. Always read the listing for its exact location requirements.

Can I filter jobs by country?

Yes. Choose a country in the search form to narrow the listings. A remote role may still have country restrictions, so check its description before applying.

Why do some jobs have no salary listed?

Some listings do not include pay information. We show a salary when it is available and leave it out when it is not provided.

Is the salary filter a monthly or annual amount?

The minimum salary field uses US dollars per year. It filters listings that have comparable salary information.

Can I change or clear my search filters?

Yes. Change the keyword, country, job type, salary, or level in the search form. You can clear individual fields and run a broader search again.
