 Recently, we have noticed an interesting trend in accounting hiring. More Assistant Controller roles are being posted than our team ever remembers seeing before. And those roles aren’t staying open for long! Assistant Controller hires are definitely on the rise, especially among startups and mid-market companies.
While 2022 was dubbed “The Year of the Controller” because of the astronomical rise in controller hires from 2021-2022, this year could probably just as well be called, “The Year of the Assistant Controller” because our team is seeing a sustained spike in interest from companies looking to hire an Assistant Controller for the first time.
The role you need depends on your business needs, so let’s look at common business triggers that most likely require needing the next level of financial role, and what kind of activities and responsibilities each role typically includes. We’ll start with bookkeeper and work our way up to Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
 We work with companies every day that are hiring mid-to-management level accounting and finance positions and one question we hear a lot is, “How much do controllers make?”
Companies asking us about controller salaries are usually trying to do accounting salary benchmarking to determine what to offer for the role. In some cases, the controller role is a new position for their organization. In other cases, they are looking to replace a long-term employee, which means they have not listed a controller opening in many years and they need timely advice on what to offer these days. So, what is an accounting controller’s average salary? Get ready to dive into the numbers! |
