Accountant Assistant Controller information

What is an accountant assistant controller?

Accountant Assistant Controllers are finance professionals who support the Controller or Chief Financial Officer in managing an organization's accounting operations. Their responsibilities often include preparing financial statements, ensuring compliance with accounting regulations, managing budgets, and assisting with audits. They also help oversee accounts payable and receivable, and may supervise junior accounting staff. This role is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records and supporting strategic financial planning within a company.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an accountant assistant controller?

To thrive as an Accountant Assistant Controller, you need strong accounting knowledge, attention to detail, and a relevant degree such as a bachelor's in accounting or finance, often accompanied by a CPA or CMA certification. Familiarity with ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, advanced Excel skills, and experience with financial reporting tools are typically required. Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills help you collaborate effectively and solve complex financial problems. These competencies are crucial for ensuring accurate financial management, regulatory compliance, and informed decision-making in the organization.

How does an accountant assistant controller typically collaborate with other departments within an organization?

An Assistant Controller frequently works cross-functionally, collaborating with various departments such as operations, sales, and human resources to ensure financial accuracy and compliance. They often help coordinate budget planning, support internal audits, and provide financial insights to support decision-making. Effective communication and teamwork are essential for this role, as Assistant Controllers often translate complex financial data into actionable information for non-financial managers. This collaboration builds relationships across the organization and enhances the overall financial health of the company.

Accounting Assistant (Controller Support - Collision Industry)

Job description

Accounting Assistant (Controller Support – Collision Industry)

Honolulu, HI (On-Site)
UNIBODY Autotech Collision
$20–$28/hr | Full-Time or Part-Time

Join a High-Performance Team

UNIBODY Autotech Collision is Hawaii’s premier collision repair center. We run a fast-paced, high-volume operation where accuracy, speed, and accountability matter.

We’re looking for an Accounting Assistant to work directly with our Controller and help manage a collision-specific accounting system — including parts, job costing, and insurance receivables.

What Makes This Role Different

This is not traditional accounting.

You’ll learn how accounting connects to:

  • Collision repair job costing
  • Parts purchasing + inventory posting
  • Insurance payments + supplements
  • OEM procedures tied to repair operations

We use CCC ONE (collision management system) — we’ll train you — but you must be ready to learn automotive + OEM terminology and how it impacts financials.

What You’ll Do

  • Support Controller with daily accounting + financial tracking
  • Manage Accounts Receivable (insurance + customer payments)
  • Post and track parts invoices, vendor bills, and job costs
  • Reconcile repair orders with financial records
  • Assist with payroll, journal entries, and month-end close
  • Perform bank + credit card reconciliations
  • Keep books clean, accurate, and audit-ready

What We Want

  • 1+ year accounting / bookkeeping experience
  • Strong attention to detail (numbers must match)
  • Comfortable learning new systems + industry terminology
  • QuickBooks + Excel experience preferred
  • Ability to follow up, solve problems, and stay organized
  • Willing to learn CCC ONE + collision repair workflows (we train)

Bonus (Big Advantage)

  • Experience in auto body, dealership, or repair shop accounting
  • Familiarity with parts invoicing, job costing, or inventory
  • Understanding of OEM parts / procedures (or willingness to learn fast)

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with leadership (Controller)
  • Learn a high-value niche skillset (collision accounting)
  • Growth opportunity into higher accounting roles
  • Full benefits (health, dental, vision, PTO)
  • Stable, high-performing company

Apply Now

If you want more than a basic accounting job and are ready to learn a specialized, in-demand skillset — apply today.

Quick Application Questions

  1. Have you worked with job costing or inventory accounting before? Explain.
  2. Are you comfortable learning new systems like CCC ONE?
  3. How do you ensure accuracy when entering financial data?
  4. Are you comfortable following up on unpaid invoices (insurance/customers)?
  5. Have you ever worked in automotive, construction, or another job-costing industry?

If you want next, I can:

  • Build you a training roadmap (30-60-90 days) for this hire
  • Or create a Controller dashboard (AR aging, parts margin leakage, missed labor revenue) so this role directly plugs your profit leaks.
