Controller Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a controller in Texas?
Most controller roles in Texas require a CPA license issued through the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, which administers the Uniform CPA Exam and requires a bachelor's degree plus additional accounting hours to sit. Candidates who hold a CPA from another state can transfer licensure through the Texas reciprocity process. From there, the typical path moves through senior accountant, accounting manager, and assistant controller roles before reaching the controller level.
Which companies hire controllers in Texas?
Employers hiring controllers in Texas right now include Augmentis, HEB, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of energy companies, large hospital systems, and regional headquarters means controller demand is spread across industries rather than dominated by a single sector.
Which Texas cities have the most controller jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and Austin have the most controller openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense energy and petrochemical sector, Dallas follows as a major corporate headquarters hub for industries from logistics to financial services, and Austin's rapid technology and healthcare expansion has made it the fastest-growing market for finance leadership roles in the state.
Are there remote controller jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most finance roles, though full-time remote controllers are still a minority given the oversight responsibilities the position carries. About 47% of controller openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with hybrid arrangements far more common than fully remote. Tasks such as consolidations, reporting, and system administration are most often performed off-site, while close management and audit coordination typically require in-office presence.
How can I get hired as a controller in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a staff accountant or financial analyst role at a large Texas employer such as a major health system, an energy company, or a regional bank, where structured rotation programs expose candidates to close cycles and reporting. Earning your CPA while in an entry-level role signals serious intent and accelerates promotion. Moving through senior accountant and accounting manager titles at a mid-size Texas company often provides the breadth needed to step into a first controller role faster than at a large corporation.
Where can I find and apply to controller jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to controller jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers actively hiring. Search the listings, find roles that fit your experience and location, and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
