Controller

Controller (Manufacturing & Operations Accounting) Salary: Up to $130,000 base, plus bonus potential. Why This Controller Opportunity Stands Out

• Blend of financial reporting, operational accounting, inventory management, and manufacturing support.
• Company is modernizing systems, moving from QuickBooks Desktop to a scalable ERP platform.
• Collaborative, casual, long‑tenured culture focused on stability and long‑term growth.
• Ability to wear many hats and partner with operations, HR, and executive leadership.
• Strong opportunity for someone coming out of public accounting or as an Assistant Controller/Senior Accountant to step into a broader leadership role.
• Flexible work environment after onboarding; hybrid flexibility available after 90 days.
