Controller

Location: Appleton, WI

Salary: $125,000 – $140,000 Base 10–15% Incentive Bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Join a well-established organization that has been in business for 30 years and continues to experience strong growth across multiple locations.
  • Be part of a privately owned company backed by a stable ownership group, allowing for long-term decision making and investment in the business.
  • Play a key role on the executive leadership team, partnering directly with company leadership to drive financial strategy and business improvements.
  • Lead finance operations for a growing organization with approximately 200 employees and $75M in revenue across multiple locations.
  • Join a company with a strong culture, minimal turnover, and a focus on having the right people in the right roles while continuing aggressive growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the month-end close process and oversee the preparation of accurate monthly financial statements.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and provide insights to improve business performance.
  • Serve as a strategic business partner to leadership by identifying opportunities for cost savings, process improvements, and operational efficiencies.
  • Oversee accounting operations including job costing, financial reporting, tax preparation, and union payroll.
  • Manage and mentor the accounting team while overseeing financial activities for multiple business entities.

Qualifications

  • 10 years of accounting experience with previous leadership or management experience.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred.
  • Experience within construction, manufacturing, distribution, or other project-based industries strongly preferred.
