We are focused on finding the right candidate and welcome conversations with highly qualified professionals whose experience aligns with the strategic nature of this opportunity.

Position Summary

We are seeking a commercially minded finance leader to serve as our Commercial Finance Controller. This highly visible role combines financial leadership, business partnerships with sales team, financial insights that drive revenue growth, profitability, strategic analysis and operational support.

The successful candidate will oversee accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and performance analytics while partnering closely with executive leadership to drive revenue growth, profitability, and sound business decision‑making.

This is an ideal opportunity for a Controller who thinks beyond the numbers and enjoys helping leadership evaluate opportunities, improve performance, and support continued growth. The role requires strong technical accounting expertise, business acumen, and the ability to translate financial data into actionable insights.

• Performance‑based bonus opportunity
• Career growth opportunities within a growing organization

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all accounting operations, financial reporting, and month‑end close processes.
• Ensure accurate and timely financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
• Develop, implement, and maintain financial controls, accounting policies, and procedures.
• Drive annual budgeting, forecasting, and long‑range financial planning activities.
• Provide financial analysis and recommendations to support executive decision‑making.
• Monitor and analyze revenue, margins, profitability, and operational performance.
