Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking a hands-on Controller to own the accounting function of a fast-growing
manufacturing company. You will lead financial reporting, internal controls, audit, tax, and
accounting policy, and build the team and processes needed to support multi-site production at
scale.

The ideal candidate has led accounting in a manufacturing or high-growth environment, is
equally comfortable setting policy and executing the close, and wants to build the systems
rather than inherit them.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the accounting function end to end — general ledger, monthly and annual close, and
  the accuracy and timeliness of all financial statements.
• Establish and maintain accounting policies in accordance with GAAP, including technical
  accounting positions and supporting documentation.
• Design, implement, and monitor internal controls over financial reporting; prepare the
  organization for increasing audit and investor scrutiny.
• Manage the annual audit and all external reporting requirements, serving as the primary
  contact for external auditors.
• Own tax compliance across federal, state, and local jurisdictions, coordinating with external
  tax advisors.
• Lead, hire, and develop the accounting team, including accounting management, cost
  accounting, and staff-level roles.
• Own the ERP and accounting systems roadmap, driving automation and scalability as
  transaction volume grows.
• Partner with FP&A, operations, and supply chain to ensure inventory, cost, and project
  accounting accurately reflect the business.
• Ensure compliance and accurate cost accounting for government-funded programs and
  grants.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience as a Controller or
  Assistant Controller.
• CPA required or strongly preferred.
• Deep GAAP knowledge with demonstrated ownership of technical accounting positions and
  audit outcomes.
• Manufacturing accounting experience, including inventory, standard costing, and overhead
  absorption.
• Experience designing and implementing internal controls in a scaling organization.
• Proficiency with NetSuite ERP or a comparable system; implementation or optimization
  experience strongly preferred.
• Experience managing and developing an accounting team.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity — excited to build, iterate, and optimize in a fast-moving
  company.
• Experience with government contracts, grants, or cost-reimbursable programs is a plus.
