The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Citigroup is hiring a Controller in Cedar Rapids, IA.

• Role description

  This finance role calls for a Controller fluent in Forecasting, deadlines, and clean, defensible numbers. The mid-level role rewards what you've built — 3 years of Accruals — with $58,000 - $92,000 and a voice in Citigroup strategy.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain accurate records in Work Ethic and recommend process improvements
  • Reconcile the loan amortization schedule against every lender statement
  • Close the books each month without letting deadlines slip at Citigroup
  • Build variance commentary executives actually read top to bottom
  • Manage fixed-asset schedules, depreciation, and capital expenditure tracking

  What You'll Bring

  • Fluency in Management Reporting earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Experience translating Audit Sampling complexity for a non-technical audience
  • Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet

  Citigroup grew out of a Cedar Rapids, IA research lab and never lost its learning-obsessed, question-everything approach to Forecasting. We keep the temporary workload sustainable so your best Accruals work isn't your last gasp.

  We frame the offer around growth: $58,000 - $92,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in IA.

  We are actively reviewing applications for this Controller role this week.

  Don't wait for the perfect moment to switch into finance work, because it's right now.
