Plant Controller

TriSource
Alexandria, IN Full Time
POSTED ON 9/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/9/2027

Job Overview:

Are you a manufacturing finance professional who thrives in an operational environment and enjoys driving business performance through data, analysis, and strategic partnership?

We're seeking a hands-on Plant Controller to serve as the financial leader for a manufacturing operation, partnering directly with plant leadership to drive profitability, operational performance, and strategic decision-making. This is a highly visible role with significant influence over the financial health and direction of the facility.

This position goes far beyond traditional accounting. You'll be the key financial business partner to operations, owning cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, inventory management, variance analysis, and financial planning while helping leadership understand the story behind the numbers.

What You'll Own:

  • Plant P&L performance and financial reporting
  • Manufacturing cost accounting and product costing
  • Annual budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning
  • Labor, material, overhead, and production variance analysis
  • Inventory controls, valuation, and accuracy initiatives
  • Cost reduction and profitability improvement projects
  • Capital investment and ROI analysis
  • Financial support for new product introductions
  • Leadership and development of plant finance and inventory teams

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5 years of manufacturing accounting, cost accounting, or plant finance experience
  • Prior leadership experience managing accounting or finance personnel
  • Strong background in:
  • Cost Accounting
  • Inventory Accounting
  • Budgeting & Forecasting
  • Financial Analysis
  • Manufacturing Operations
  • Variance Analysis
  • KPI & Performance Reporting

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Strategic leadership role with direct partnership to plant and operational leadership
  • Opportunity to influence key business decisions and drive plant performance
  • Ownership of budgeting, forecasting, cost accounting, and inventory controls
  • Leadership responsibility for plant accounting and inventory analysis teams
  • High-impact position focused on profitability improvement and operational excellence
  • Fully onsite environment with direct exposure to manufacturing operations
  • Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and 3 weeks of vacation in your first year

If you're a manufacturing finance leader who enjoys digging into operations, identifying opportunities for improvement, and helping a business maximize performance, I would love to connect.

Pay: $110,000.00 - $125,000.00 per year

  • 401(k) matching
  • Dental insurance
