Job Details

We are seeking a highly capable Group Controller to lead and scale corporate accounting operations across multiple divisions and locations in a fast-moving, evolving environment. This role is central to establishing financial accuracy, consistency, and scalability as the organization continues to grow. You will oversee core accounting functions, own the month-end close process, mentor a developing team, and partner closely with executive leadership to implement durable financial processes. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who has been in this seat before and thrives in building structure within an open, decentralized framework.

REQUIREMENT You must be able to work on-site Monday–Friday in Ann Arbor, MI.

What You’ll Do

  • Own Corporate Accounting Operations Lead month-end close, accruals, reconciliations, and financial reporting across multiple divisions and locations, driving toward a consistent Day-5 close.
  • Standardize & Scale Processes Design, implement, and formalize accounting processes, checklists, and controls to create consistency across business units.
  • Close Management & Accountability Establish timelines, assign ownership, and ensure accuracy and timeliness of all close-related activities.
  • Team Leadership & Development Provide hands-on leadership, mentorship, and performance guidance to the accounting team; evaluate current roles and plan for future staffing as the business scales.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership Partner closely with executive leadership, operations, and the parent organization to align financial reporting with business objectives.
  • Growth Readiness Build accounting infrastructure capable of absorbing new products and divisions without adding incremental headcount.
  • Process Improvement Identify inefficiencies and lead continuous improvement initiatives across systems, workflows, and reporting.
  • Communication & Influence Serve as the financial authority, clearly communicating changes, expectations, and insights to stakeholders at all levels.
