You will work closely alongside the FP&A and finance leadership team and serve as a true business partner to site operations.

What You Will Own

  • Full accounting operations across 2 manufacturing sites in Fremont and Milpitas
  • Month end close process and site level financial reporting
  • External audit process and audit readiness
  • Cost accounting and manufacturing variance analysis
  • Business partnering with site operations leadership on financial performance and decision making

What We Are Looking For

  • CPA strongly preferred
  • Big 4 background ideal
  • Manufacturing experience required, semiconductor or aerospace experience a strong plus
  • Strong cost accounting and plant controller background
  • Comfortable being fully onsite 5 days a week in the Fremont or San Jose area
  • Oracle ERP experience preferred

The Details

  • Location: Fremont or San Jose area, fully onsite 5 days a week
  • Compensation: $175,000 to $200,000 base salary plus 10 to 15% bonus
  • Path to Group or Corporate Controller over time

If you have a strong manufacturing accounting background, thrive in a hands-on environment, and are looking for a role where you can grow into a broader leadership position, we would love to hear from you. Please apply directly or reach out to the Finatal search team.
