Plant Controller

Addison Group has partnered with a manufacturing organization looking to add a Plant Accountant. The position will be an on-site FP&A leader who serves as the primary finance partner to plant leadership. This will support the Plant Director with financial insight, forecasting, and operational performance management. This role owns the plant-level planning rhythm, translates operational drivers into financial outcomes, and drives visibility to risks and opportunities across cost, margin, inventory performance, and capital. Responsibilities Own the plant forecasting and budgeting cadence: build and maintain driver-based forecasts, lead annual budget development at the plant level, and surface forward-looking implications. Strengthen plant costing mechanics and margin visibility: explicitly monitor and explain overhead allocation/absorption behavior, labor efficiency, scrap/rework impacts, yield/throughput drivers, and resulting margin performance; translate variances into actions. Partner with Cost Accounting (process owner) to support the standard cost-setting cycle: provide operational/driver inputs, challenge and validate assumptions, identify when standards/routings no longer reflect reality, and ensure the management view of variances is explainable and decision-useful. Support plant inventory performance and working‑capital drivers: monitor inventory accuracy/health KPIs, track drivers impacting inventory and COGS, and coordinate with Accounting/Cost Accounting on reconciliations and close alignment. Partner cross‑functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Production to understand cost drivers and evaluate improvement opportunities; participate in operating rhythms (daily/weekly huddles, production reviews) as needed to support decision‑making. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field 7+ years' of professional accounting experience #J-18808-Ljbffr Addison Group
