Have an almost garuntee offer for assistant controller. I'm interested in the job because of the leadership skills i could gain, but am apprehensive about hours (9-6 in office 4 days). They stated $107k base with 10% bonus. Lower than I want. Would it be crazy to take on this role - should it pay a lot more? Or is the experience worth it?

I’m getting $125k as Senior Accountant for industry close to construction in HCOL. I’d expect $160-$200k for assistant controller. I don’t have a clear understanding of the titles between manager/assistant controller though.

I’m in MCOL in Texas and just accepted an assistant controller role for 115k. I have 5 YOE and 5 days in office. I could have probably tried to get more but I’m not too worried as I’ll have more leverage the next raise cycle. The questions I think would be helpful: What’s the revenue of the company and how large is it employee wise and how big is the department that you’ll be managing? These should all factor into how much you should be getting paid.

5 days working, 4 days in office *

Yeah it’s too low. Assistant controller is like manager level. The bump should be a bit higher
