Finance teams across the USA are increasingly searching for assistant controller remote jobs to fill critical accounting roles requiring accuracy and leadership. This opportunity offers 187 open positions for professionals ready to take ownership of financial reporting, reconciliations, and month-end close processes.

Successful candidates typically bring a strong foundation in GAAP accounting, financial statement preparation, and internal controls. Employers value assistant controller positions filled by professionals who demonstrate excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage general ledger activities alongside cross-functional teams.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about
finding your next role
  • What is the average salary for a remote assistant controller in the USA?

    In the USA, a remote assistant controller typically earns about $90,000 to $135,000 a year, with pay varying by company size, industry, and accounting complexity. In larger finance teams or public-company environments, total compensation can run higher, especially when bonus potential is included. Remote roles may pay similarly to on-site positions, though some employers adjust for location or cost of labor. For a current benchmark, compare listings across national job boards and review compensation data for assistant controller roles in your target industry.
  • What qualifications are required to become an assistant controller in the USA?

    Most employers look for a bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, plus strong knowledge of US GAAP and internal controls. A CPA is often preferred and can be especially valuable for a remote assistant controller in the USA, though it is not always required. Hiring managers also expect solid experience with month-end close, financial reporting, and audit support. If the role sits within a public company, familiarity with SOX compliance is common. Reviewing similar postings can help you match the expected credential mix.
  • What accounting software, ERP systems, and technical skills are needed for an assistant controller role?

    A remote assistant controller usually needs hands-on experience with accounting software such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, or Microsoft Dynamics, along with ERP systems used for general ledger, payables, and reporting workflows. Strong Excel skills are essential, especially for pivots, lookups, and reconciliations. Employers in the USA also value reporting tools like Power BI, Tableau, or adaptive planning platforms. Comfort with automated close processes, data analysis, and controls documentation is a plus. Checking job descriptions can reveal which systems are most common in your target sector.
  • What are the main responsibilities of a remote assistant controller?

    Day to day, a remote assistant controller supports the accounting close, prepares or reviews journal entries, reconciles accounts, and helps produce accurate financial statements. The role often includes maintaining internal controls, supporting audits, supervising staff or outsourced teams, and improving accounting processes. In the USA, remote work adds an extra emphasis on documentation, communication, and deadline management across time zones. Many employers also expect involvement in budgeting, variance analysis, and compliance tasks. Comparing postings can help you see how responsibilities shift by industry and company size.
  • How does an assistant controller differ from a controller or accounting manager?

    A controller usually has broader ownership of the entire accounting function, including policy setting, reporting oversight, and leadership of the department. An assistant controller is often the second-in-command, handling key close, reporting, and control responsibilities while supporting the controller in higher-level decisions. An accounting manager generally focuses more on operational accounting tasks and team supervision than on company-wide reporting strategy. In the USA, title usage can vary by employer, so it helps to compare the scope, team size, and reporting line in each remote job description before applying.
  • What experience is typically required for an assistant controller job?

    Most assistant controller roles in the USA ask for roughly 5 to 8 years of progressive accounting experience, often including public accounting, corporate accounting, or both. Employers want evidence that you have led month-end close, handled reconciliations, supported audits, and worked with financial statements in a fast-paced environment. For a remote assistant controller, experience coordinating across teams without close in-person supervision is especially useful. Some roles also prefer prior management or mentoring experience. Reviewing similar openings can help you gauge whether your background matches the expected seniority.
  • What does the hiring process look like for a remote assistant controller position?

    The hiring process for a remote assistant controller in the USA often starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or more interviews with the finance team, hiring manager, and sometimes senior leadership. Candidates may be asked about accounting standards, close timelines, ERP experience, and how they handle remote collaboration. Many employers include a technical assessment or case study focused on reconciliations, reporting, or process improvement. Background checks and reference calls are common near the end. Watching for repeated themes across listings can help you prepare for the most likely interview topics.
