Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Own the full accounting function with true end-to-end accountability and visibility.
  • Be the financial backbone for leadership, providing insights that directly inform strategy and growth.
  • Lead and develop an accounting team, strengthening your people leadership and succession-building experience.

  • Work with modern finance tools (SAP B1, DataRails, advanced Excel) to improve speed, accuracy, and scalability.
  • Play a central role in cash management and working capital decisions that impact the business daily.
  • Drive process improvements and best practices, leaving a lasting operational footprint.

Key Responsibilities For The Financial Controller

  • Lead month-, quarter-, and year-end close and ensure GAAP-compliant financial reporting.
  • Oversee AP, AR, general ledger, payroll coordination, and cash positioning.
  • Develop and maintain internal controls, accounting policies, and audit readiness.
  • Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
  • Manage, mentor, and evaluate the accounting team.

Qualifications For The Financial Controller

  • 10 years of progressive accounting/finance experience in manufacturing.
  • 5 years in a people management or leadership role.
  • Deep expertise in GAAP, financial reporting, and internal controls.
  • SAP Business One (SAP B1) experience preferred.
