Assistant Controller

Assistant Controller | Austin, TX (Hybrid)

A global investment management firm is seeking an Assistant Controller to join its growing Austin-based finance team. This is a highly visible role supporting a complex and evolving business across private equity, credit, BDCs, and insurance-related operations.

The team is looking for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic environment where accounting intersects with operations, business partnership, and process improvement. This is not a narrow, task-based accounting role. The position offers broad exposure across the organization and the opportunity to help support a finance function that continues to scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close activities
• Prepare and review reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and financial reporting support
• Partner with FP&A, compliance, fund controllers, and operational stakeholders across global offices
• Assist with intercompany and chargeback accounting processes
• Help improve workflows, reporting processes, and operational efficiency
• Participate in systems enhancements and finance process improvement initiatives
• Support a fast-growing and evolving business across multiple investment platforms
• Work closely with senior finance leadership on ad hoc projects and business initiatives

What They’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• CPA preferred
• Approximately 4–7 years of experience within Big 4 public accounting and/or relevant industry experience
• Financial services, private equity, asset management, credit, or alternative investment exposure is highly preferred
• Strong accounting foundation and attention to detail
• Strong communication skills and ability to partner across teams
• Naturally curious mindset with interest in understanding how the broader business operates
• Comfortable operating in an environment where roles, processes, and priorities continue to evolve as the business scales
• Interest in improving processes and using technology to create more efficient workflows

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-growth, globally recognized investment platform
• Strong visibility and interaction with leadership across Austin, New York, and London
• Opportunity to contribute beyond traditional accounting responsibilities
• Collaborative and intellectually curious team environment
• Strong long-term growth potential within the organization
• Hybrid schedule based in Austin, TX

Compensation

• Target base salary range: $115K–$130K
• Competitive benefits package

If you’re looking for a role that combines strong accounting fundamentals with exposure to operations, process improvement, and business partnership in a sophisticated financial services environment, this could be an excellent fit.
