Assistant Controller (Growth potential)

The Grenzy Recruiting Group is conducting a search for an Assistant Controller on behalf of a well-established private golf and country club community. This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who wants to grow into a higher-level leadership role within a stable organization that values long-term employees, collaboration, and work-life balance.

Unlike many traditional club environments, this community offers a friendly, down-to-earth culture with approachable leadership, strong employee tenure, and flexibility when life happens. The organization is seeking someone who wants to take ownership of their work, contribute as a business partner, and continue developing professionally.

The Assistant Controller will support the Controller in overseeing the day-to-day accounting operations for the community and club operations. This individual will play a key role in financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, audit support, and supervision of accounting processes.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys both hands-on accounting work and mentoring or overseeing accounting staff, while building toward future advancement opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in leading the monthly financial close and reporting process


• Prepare financial statements, supplemental schedules, and balance sheet reconciliations


• Maintain fixed asset schedules and related accounting entries


• Reconcile payroll and benefit-related accounting activity


• Oversee Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions


• Review journal entries, AP/AR batches, and general ledger activity completed by staff


• Support annual budgeting and forecasting processes


• Partner with external auditors during annual audits and tax preparation


• Assist with internal controls and financial process improvements


• Review member billing statements and related reporting


• Participate in inventory oversight and variance analysis


• Support technology and accounting system improvements


• Provide leadership support in the absence of the Controller or General Manager

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Accounting


• 3+ years of accounting experience required


• Prior leadership or supervisory experience preferred


• Experience in HOA, hospitality, club, property management, or public accounting environments is a plus


• Strong understanding of financial reporting and general ledger accounting


• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills


• Detail-oriented with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple responsibilities

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Clear growth potential into higher-level accounting leadership


• Stable organization with long-tenured employees


• Friendly, team-focused culture; professional but not overly corporate or stuffy


• Exposure to all aspects of accounting and financial operations


• Opportunity to work closely with leadership and gain broad operational experience


• Flexible, supportive work environment

If you are looking for an opportunity where you can grow your career, gain broad accounting exposure, and join a stable organization with a positive culture, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
