How do I get an entry level controller job?
Focus on building hands-on experience through internships, campus accounting roles, or volunteer bookkeeping work before you apply. Employers hiring at this level look for familiarity with general ledger software, month-end close processes, and basic financial reporting. A degree in accounting or finance is the most common baseline, and candidates who can demonstrate practical reconciliation or audit-support experience tend to stand out in a competitive applicant pool.

Are there remote entry level controller jobs?
Yes, though remote options are more limited at this stage than at senior levels. About 18% of entry level controller openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with hybrid arrangements being the more common setup for early-career roles where on-site mentorship and systems access matter to employers.

A new grad-friendly posting typically asks for zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or part-time accounting work as qualifying background, and values a relevant degree or coursework over a lengthy work history.
