Assistant Controller Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a assistant controller in Pennsylvania?

Most assistant controllers in Pennsylvania begin with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, then pursue CPA licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy, which requires passing all four sections of the Uniform CPA Examination and meeting Pennsylvania's education and experience requirements. Many employers in the state also favor candidates who have progressed through staff and senior accountant roles within Pennsylvania industries like healthcare, financial services, or manufacturing before stepping into an assistant controller position.

Which companies hire assistant controllers in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring assistant controllers in Pennsylvania right now include Amphenol, Augmentis, and Leonardo DRS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's mix of major health systems, regional banks, and large manufacturers creates steady, year-round hiring activity for this role across the state.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most assistant controller jobs?

Pittsburgh, Monaca, and Ephrata have the most assistant controller openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its concentration of corporate headquarters, large hospital networks, and financial services firms, while Pittsburgh's strength in healthcare and technology drives steady demand, and smaller markets like the Lehigh Valley benefit from major manufacturing and logistics employers headquartered there.

Are there remote assistant controller jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, and more than many finance roles, since assistant controller work is largely analytical and system-based rather than hands-on. About 33% of assistant controller openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting a meaningful shift since the pandemic. Responsibilities like financial reporting, variance analysis, and ERP management tend to be the most remote-compatible, while audit support and team supervision typically require some in-office presence.

How can I get hired as a assistant controller in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is moving up from a staff or senior accountant role within a Pennsylvania employer's finance team, where you build direct exposure to close cycles and financial reporting. Large Pennsylvania health systems like UPMC and Jefferson Health, as well as regional manufacturers, regularly promote from within and post associate-level finance roles designed for candidates building toward management. Earning your CPA through the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy significantly strengthens your candidacy even before you have controller-level experience.

Where can I find and apply to assistant controller jobs in Pennsylvania?

You can find and apply to assistant controller jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to the employers posting them.
