Controller

KerberRose Human Resources is partnering with a rapidly growing and highly entrepreneurial Central Wisconsin organization in the search for an impactful, strategic, and hands‑on Controller. This is not a traditional “keep the books moving” accounting role. This is a leadership opportunity for someone who wants a seat at the table and enjoys building, improving, influencing, and helping drive a business forward. The ideal candidate is both operationally excellent and strategically minded — someone who can lead a team, elevate processes, create accountability, support leadership decision‑making, and bring a strong business mindset to the organization. This individual will oversee accounting and administrative operations while serving as a trusted financial partner to company leadership during an exciting phase of continued growth. We are looking for someone who thrives in fast‑moving environments, embraces change, sees opportunities for improvement, and genuinely enjoys rolling up their sleeves to make things happen.
