Brooklyn Center, MN | $150,000–$180,000 Base 10–15% Bonus

Looking for an opportunity to lead finance for a growing manufacturing business and have a direct impact on company performance?

We're partnering with a privately held manufacturing organization seeking a Finance & Accounting Director to lead the U.S. finance function and serve as a key business partner to executive leadership.

This is a highly visible leadership role offering broad responsibility across accounting, finance, cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, cash management, and operational decision support. The company has successfully completed a significant operational transformation and is continuing to invest in growth, process improvements, and future expansion initiatives.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable leading strategic discussions with executives and rolling up their sleeves to support day-to-day financial operations.

What You'll Do

• Lead all accounting and finance activities for the U.S. business
• Oversee monthly close, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Manage cost accounting, inventory analysis, and operational finance activities
• Partner with executive leadership to support strategic planning and business decision-making
• Develop financial insights, KPIs, and reporting tools that improve operational visibility
• Drive improvements in cash flow, working capital management, and financial processes
• Support operational excellence initiatives and continuous improvement efforts
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small accounting team
• Collaborate closely with operations, supply chain, and business leaders across the organization
• Support future growth initiatives, including international expansion opportunities
  
  

What We're Looking For

• 7 years of progressive accounting and finance experience
• Prior leadership experience within a manufacturing environment
• Strong cost accounting, inventory, and operational finance expertise
• Experience partnering directly with operations and executive leadership teams
• Hands-on leadership style with the ability to operate both strategically and tactically
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to influence business decisions through financial insight and operational partnership
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Manufacturing, industrial, or product-based industry experience
• SAP experience
• CPA or public accounting foundation
• Experience supporting inventory-intensive operations
• Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement exposure
  
  

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Serve as the top finance leader for the U.S. business
• Direct access to executive leadership and key decision-makers
• Opportunity to influence both financial and operational performance
• Broad scope across accounting, finance, and business operations
• Growing organization investing in people, processes, and future expansion
• Ability to make a visible and lasting impact on the business
• Stable company with strong long-term growth potential
  
  

Compensation

• Base salary: $150,000–$180,000
• Bonus opportunity: 10%–15%
• Comprehensive benefits package
  
  

Work Environment

• Onsite position located in the northwest metro area of Minneapolis
