What Employers Look For

The qualifications that appear most often in remote controller jobs.

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance with a CPA license strongly preferred
  • Five or more years of progressive accounting experience including supervisory responsibility
  • Proficiency with ERP systems such as NetSuite, SAP, or Workday
  • Experience with monthly close processes, financial statement preparation, and consolidations
  • Knowledge of U.S. GAAP and technical accounting standards including ASC 606 and ASC 842
  • Strong Excel skills including financial modeling, pivot tables, and data reconciliation

Tips for Your Remote Controller Job Search

Tailor your resume to close requirements

Controller job listings almost always name specific requirements like ASC 842 lease accounting or multi-entity consolidations. Pull those exact phrases from each posting and weave them into your bullet points so your resume clears automated screening.

Lead with close cycle metrics

Hiring managers prioritize candidates who can shrink the monthly close. Quantify your close cycle improvements in days rather than percentages, and place that figure in your resume summary so it appears before a recruiter scrolls.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists controller openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your industry and seniority and apply directly to each listing without jumping between sites.

Filter by ERP system to match faster

Employers screening for NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Workday experience often filter candidates before the first interview. Search openings by the ERP named in the listing and prioritize the ones that match your hands-on system experience.

Prepare a technical interview case study

Many controller interviews include a scenario round covering revenue recognition under ASC 606 or intercompany elimination entries. Prepare one concrete example from your own close process that you can walk through step by step without notes.

Negotiate beyond base when you receive an offer

Controller offers often include a signing bonus tied to a stay period, a CPA or CMA exam reimbursement clause, or a performance review accelerator. Ask about each one separately rather than treating the base as the whole package.

Remote Controller Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a remote controller job?

Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote controller employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.

Which companies hire remote controllers?

Remote controller roles are posted by Jitterbit, Jobot, and Lippert and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote controller roles.

Can you get a remote controller job with no experience?

Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote controller openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.

Do you need a degree for remote controller jobs?

Not always. Many employers hire remote controllers on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote controller roles.

Which industries hire the most remote controllers?

The sectors hiring the most remote controllers are Technology & Software, Staffing & Recruiting, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors run distributed teams and hire controllers remotely most consistently.
