Controller

Controller SUMMARY Join a mid‑sized, privately held manufacturing company as the key financial leader partnering directly with the President. In this role, you will own the full accounting function, drive better financial reporting and cash management, and lead a major upgrade of the company’s accounting systems. The business has come through an industry reset and is now stabilized and focused on improving performance and positioning for future growth. YOU’LL BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU Have deep experience in manufacturing accounting, including inventory, cost accounting, and margin analysis in an environment with meaningful product flow. Can confidently own cash forecasting, banking relationships, and day‑to‑day treasury decisions while keeping leadership informed of risks and options. Enjoy leading a small accounting team as a true leader‑doer who balances hands‑on work with coaching and developing others. Are energized by fixing broken processes, implementing new systems or automations, and turning complex financial data into clear, practical insights for non‑finance leaders. WHAT YOU GET The challenge of taking a previously distressed business that is now stable and helping move it to the next level through better systems, processes, and decisions. A location and hybrid work structure that allows regular on‑site impact with flexibility to work from home part of the week once you are established. A clear path to broader influence and responsibility as the President’s right hand on all financial matters, with visibility to ownership and outside partners. Competitive compensation with bonus opportunity, plus the chance to leave your fingerprints on a business where your work is seen and appreciated by the whole leadership team. TO BE CONSIDERED, YOU’LL NEED A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, along with at least 7–10 years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including several years in a Controller or plant Controller role in manufacturing. You should bring proven experience leading a small team, running month‑end close, managing audits and lenders, and implementing or upgrading accounting systems in an inventory‑based environment. If this resonates with you and you believe you are able to meet the challenges of an exciting company in the manufacturing sector, please apply. #J-18808-Ljbffr
