Assistant Controller

The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, a multi-office family law, estate planning, and criminal law firm across Texas, is looking for an Assistant Controller to manage financial operations across its 11 locations. You'd oversee accounting functions including budgeting, forecasting, and regulatory compliance while supervising accounting staff and working closely with department heads to track expenses and optimize resources. This is a hands-on role requiring ownership of month-end close processes across multiple entities and locations, with direct input to senior management on financial strategy and firm growth.

The ideal candidate brings 5–7 years of progressive accounting or finance experience, ideally from a law firm or professional services background, along with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance (CPA or CMA preferred but not required). You'll need strong GAAP knowledge, advanced Excel skills, and proficiency with accounting software and ERP systems—experience with Clio legal practice management software is a plus. The role demands analytical rigor, comfort managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to communicate financial insights clearly across departments.

The position is full-time and hybrid based in Houston, with competitive pay, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, short and long-term disability insurance, a 401(k) with up to 5% match, and paid time off. This role suits someone who has scaled companies in the $20M–$50M revenue range and is ready to bring financial discipline and strategic thinking to a growing firm.
