Job description

If you enjoy being part of a small, collaborative environment where your work directly impacts the business, this could be the opportunity you're looking for.

We're partnering with a growing manufacturer seeking a hands-on Controller to lead accounting while serving as a trusted partner to leadership and operations. This is not a role where you'll be buried in spreadsheets and disconnected from the business. You'll have visibility across the organization, work closely with decision-makers, and play an important role in helping the company continue to grow and improve.

The environment is entrepreneurial and team-oriented. Everyone wears multiple hats, pitches in where needed, and works together to solve problems. The most successful person here enjoys being involved, building relationships across the business, and taking ownership rather than simply managing a process.

The Controller will oversee month-end close, financial reporting, cost accounting, inventory, budgeting, forecasting, and internal controls. You'll also partner closely with operations to analyze costs, improve reporting, support business decisions, and help drive process improvements.

Upcoming initiatives include systems enhancements and ERP implementation, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys improving processes and helping a business scale.

We're looking for someone with accounting experience in a manufacturing environment, particularly with cost accounting and inventory. Strong ERP and Excel skills are important, along with the ability to communicate effectively with both financial and operational teams. Success in this role requires someone who is detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable working in a hands-on environment where relationships matter as much as technical ability.

What makes this opportunity unique is the chance to have a genuine voice in the business. You'll work closely with leadership, see the impact of your contributions firsthand, and join a company where collaboration, accountability, and mutual support are part of the culture.

If you're looking for an opportunity to broaden your impact, work alongside a close-knit team, and contribute to a growing manufacturing organization, this may be the right next step.
