Assistant Controller

Creative Financial Staffing

Assistant Controller

Ready to step into a high-visibility Assistant Controller role where you can influence strategy and build a best-in-class finance function? This is a career-defining opportunity to partner directly with leadership in a growing industrial organization.

Salary: 120,000-140,000 + Bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Direct partnership with executive leadership, giving you a true seat at the table

• High-impact role with the ability to shape financial strategy and operational performance

• Opportunity to drive process improvements and modernize systems

• Blend of strategic leadership and hands-on execution—no siloed responsibilities

• Exposure to global teams and corporate leadership, expanding your influence and network

• Ability to build, mentor, and scale a high-performing finance team

• Stable, well-established business with continued growth trajectory

• Strong operational footprint where finance plays a critical role in business success

Key Responsibilities for the Assistant Controller:

• Lead accounting, financial reporting, and cash management functions

• Own month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accuracy and efficiency

• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning initiatives

• Partner with leadership to drive strategic decisions and performance improvements

• Manage ERP systems (Great Plaines) and optimize financial workflows

• Oversee audits, compliance, and internal controls

Qualifications for the Assistant Controller:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA strongly preferred)

• 10+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience with leadership responsibility

• Manufacturing or industrial industry experience required

• Great Plaines experience
