Controller | Manufacturing
Pay: $120,000 – $160,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Join a well-established manufacturing organization with a strong reputation and a stable leadership team.
Highly visible role with direct exposure to executive leadership and the ability to influence key business decisions.
Opportunity to serve as a strategic business partner while still remaining connected to day-to-day operations.
Collaborative culture where leadership values new ideas, process improvements, and continuous growth.
Strong employee tenure and a team-oriented environment that prioritizes work-life balance.
Mix of strategic finance, operational accounting, and leadership responsibilities.
Hybrid flexibility available after onboarding and training.
What You’ll Do
Lead all accounting and financial reporting activities for the organization.
Manage month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.
Oversee budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and financial planning activities.
Partner with operations leadership to analyze performance, improve profitability, and support strategic initiatives.
Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, fixed assets, and general ledger functions.
Develop and maintain internal controls, policies, and accounting procedures.
Prepare financial statements, management reports, and KPIs for executive leadership.
Mentor and develop accounting staff while driving process improvements throughout the finance department.
What We’re Looking For
Experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager, Plant Controller, or Finance Manager.
Manufacturing accounting experience strongly preferred.
Strong understanding of cost accounting, inventory, standard costing, and financial reporting.
Experience managing month-end close and financial statement preparation.
Why Candidates Apply
This is an opportunity to step into a leadership role where you’ll have a seat at the table and the ability to impact the direction of the business. The company offers the stability of an established manufacturer, the visibility of a key leadership position, and the flexibility and culture many accounting leaders are looking for today.
