A bit about us:

Our Client is a global, privately held tier-1 manufacturer of engineered mechatronic and control systems serving major automotive and industrial OEMs. Following a recent acquisition, their Ohio facility is entering an exciting growth phase — expanding headcount, integrating financial systems and processes, and investing in the site's long-term future. This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to both plant operations and corporate leadership.


Why join us?
  • Own the financial leadership of a full P&L site — not a back-office seat
  • Lead a systems and process integration from the ground floor, with the resume credential to match
  • Growing team: headcount being added under this role
  • $150K base 10–15% bonus target
  • Stable, family-owned parent with decades of OEM relationships


Job Details

We're seeking a Site Controller to own financial leadership for our manufacturing facility during a pivotal integration and growth period. Reporting to both site and corporate leadership, you'll direct all plant-level accounting and serve as the financial right hand to operations.

What you'll do:

  • Own the full month-end close, general ledger, and site financial statements
  • Lead the integration of financial systems and processes following our recent acquisition — ERP, reporting, and close cadence
  • Drive standard costing, variance analysis, and inventory valuation for the plant
  • Build, develop, and lead the site accounting team, with additional headcount planned under this role
  • Prepare budgets and forecasts; partner with plant leadership on spend, capex, and margin improvement
  • Establish and enforce internal controls; support external audits and corporate reporting requirements
  • Translate financial data into action for operations — scrap, labor, overhead absorption, and cost-reduction initiatives
What you'll need:

  • Bachelor's in Accounting or Finance (Master's, CPA, or CMA a plus)
  • 5 years of manufacturing accounting experience, including standard cost environments
  • Hands-on ERP experience; implementation or systems-conversion exposure strongly preferred
  • Prior supervisory experience over accounting staff
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, roll-up-your-sleeves plant environment
