Controller

We are seeking a driven, hands-on accounting leader to step into a highly visible role with a privately held organization in the middle of an ambitious growth chapter. The company has scaled dramatically over the past two decades, and it continues to expand through both organic growth and a steady cadence of domestic and international acquisitions. Ownership has deliberately chosen to remain independent, reinvesting in the business and in the people who built it rather than chasing outside capital. That stability, paired with real momentum, creates an environment where a strong accounting leader can make a measurable mark instead of maintaining someone else's status quo. This position sits at the intersection of month-end close, the analysis behind it, and a significant systems modernization now underway, making it ideal for a professional who performs best when the ground is still moving. Professionals who bring curiosity, a low-ego work mentality, and the confidence to question what does not look right will find genuine runway here.Make sure to apply quickly in order to maximise your chances of being considered for an interview Read the complete job description below.Responsibilities:Lead the monthly close process and deliver accurate, timely financial statementsInterpret results and surface anomalies, unusual items, and unexplained variancesDrive irregularities to root cause and recommend corrective actionServe as a hands-on escalation point for accounting questions across the departmentTroubleshoot payables, receivables, and general ledger issues when team members hit roadblocksOwn accounting and administration for corporate card and travel and entertainment spendProvide direct user support on expense processes, policies, and system accessSupervise, coach, and develop two accounting professionalsPartner with leadership on enterprise system implementation and related process redesignGuide the team through system transitions, testing, and new reporting requirementsBuild recurring analytics and dashboards for executive leadership xhyhwjd Support integration of newly acquired entities into consolidated close and reporting routinesRequirements:Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required, MBA a plusCPA or public accounting background preferred, not requiredProven ownership of month-end close and financial statementsPrior manufacturing or distribution background requiredStrong systems aptitude; implementation experience a plusAbility to thrive in a fast-paced, high-change environmentPatient, adaptable, and steady under pressureClear communicator with staff and senior leadership
