Controller Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a controller in Georgia?
Most controller roles in Georgia require a CPA license issued through the Georgia State Board of Accountancy, which oversees the Uniform CPA Examination and licensure for the state. You need a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, completion of the required credit hours in accounting and business, and several years of progressive public or corporate accounting experience. Many Georgia employers also expect candidates to have managed a full accounting team and led a financial close cycle.
Which companies hire controllers in Georgia?
Employers hiring controllers in Georgia right now include Jobot, ghj, and Aertssen Group Nv, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's concentration of corporate headquarters, healthcare systems, and logistics companies creates consistent year-round demand at both the corporate controller and divisional controller level.
Which Georgia cities have the most controller jobs?
Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Savannah have the most controller openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates due to its dense concentration of corporate headquarters, financial services firms, and large healthcare networks, while Savannah's growth reflects the expanding port economy and the manufacturers and distributors that have set up regional operations there, and Augusta draws hiring from its established healthcare and defense sectors.
Are there remote controller jobs in Georgia?
Yes, and more than most finance roles, because controllers who work for multi-site companies or private equity-backed firms can often manage reporting and close cycles without being on-site daily. About 59% of controller openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting employer flexibility for experienced candidates. Financial reporting, consolidations, and systems oversight are the functions most frequently performed remotely, while audit liaison and team supervision duties typically require in-office presence.
How can I get hired as a controller in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is to build experience as a senior accountant or accounting manager at a Georgia-based company before stepping into a controller role. Large Georgia employers including hospital systems, logistics firms in the Savannah corridor, and Atlanta-area manufacturers regularly promote staff accountants who demonstrate close ownership and ERP proficiency. Sitting for the CPA exam through the Georgia State Board of Accountancy significantly strengthens your candidacy, and moving laterally from an audit role at a regional public accounting firm is a well-worn path to a corporate controller position in this market.
Where can I find and apply to controller jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to controller jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Georgia employers. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, preferred metro, and industry focus, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
