Controller Jobs in New Jersey: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a controller in New Jersey?
Most controller roles in New Jersey require a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance plus a CPA license issued or recognized by the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy. Candidates typically progress through senior accountant and accounting manager roles before reaching the controller level. While the CPA is not always mandatory, it is the single credential most consistently preferred by New Jersey employers, particularly in the pharmaceutical, financial services, and healthcare sectors dominant in the state.
Which companies hire controllers in New Jersey?
Employers hiring controllers in New Jersey right now include Jobot, Caesars Entertainment, and Englewood Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New Jersey's dense concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters and mid-size pharmaceutical and financial services firms means controller openings appear regularly across a wide range of industries throughout the state.
Which New Jersey cities have the most controller jobs?
Newark, Englewood, and Mount Laurel have the most controller openings in New Jersey. Newark anchors demand through its financial services and insurance sector, Parsippany draws from a cluster of pharmaceutical and professional services headquarters, and Princeton benefits from a mix of biotech firms and asset managers that require experienced financial leadership.
Are there remote controller jobs in New Jersey?
Yes, and more than many finance roles. About 56% of controller openings tied to New Jersey are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the role centers on reporting, analysis, and system work that can be done off-site. Strategic oversight, audit management, and financial planning functions are the portions most commonly performed remotely, while hands-on close support and team mentoring still pull controllers on-site regularly.
How can I get hired as a controller in New Jersey with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is entering through a staff or senior accountant role at a New Jersey company and building toward the controller title over time. Large employers in the state such as pharmaceutical companies in Morris and Middlesex counties and healthcare systems like RWJBarnabas Health regularly hire entry-level accountants into structured rotational or development programs. Earning CPA exam eligibility and completing the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy requirements while working signals readiness to move up faster than experience alone.
