Job Description

Robert Half is partnering with a successful aerospace and defense manufacturer seeking a high potential Assistant Controller to join their growing division. Reporting directly to the CFO, this position is part of long-term succession planning and offers outstanding career growth potential.

Additional Details: This role offers the best of both worlds—an entrepreneurial division environment combined with the resources of a larger corporate organization. It's an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional ready to expand their impact and grow alongside a respected financial leader. This excellent opportunity offers a full suite of benefits for the employee and family in addition to a competitive base salary and bonus plan. For quickest consideration, please email your resume in confidence to Kelleigh Marquard at Kelleigh.Marquard@roberthalf com. All inquiries are confidential.
