This Is Not a Reporting Role. It s a Leadership Role.

Dura Serv is expanding beyond its core dock and door service business — into manufacturing, distribution, and emerging business divisions that require a financial leader who can do more than close the books. They need someone who can translate complex operational data into business intelligence, build the financial infrastructure for a scaling enterprise, and lead a team to execute at the highest level of accuracy and accountability.

As Plant Controller, you own the full accounting function across manufacturing and distribution operations — general accounting, inventory management, standard costing, variance analysis, financial close, budgeting, forecasting, and audit coordination. You lead a team. You partner with operations leadership. You serve as the financial voice in the room when business unit leaders make the decisions that shape profitability.

If you ve built financial infrastructure in a manufacturing environment, led a team to an unassailable standard of accuracy, and earned the trust of operations leaders who don t want an accountant — they want an advisor — this role was built for you.


What You ll Own


The Financials

• Oversee all direct accounting functions — general accounting, inventory, and financial analysis including standard costing, production variances, material usage, and margin analysis
• Guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the monthly close process — your name is on the financial statements, and you hold that standard without exception
• Develop financial forecasts, measure actual performance against plans and budgets, and identify the key drivers behind every variance with enough clarity that a non-financial leader can act on it
• Analyze and interpret financial results, translating complex data into narratives that inform business decisions — you communicate with precision to both financial and operational audiences

• Maintain and lead all inventory processes — cycle counts, physical inventory, reserves, obsolescence, WIP, and reconciliations between operations and finance — zero tolerance for unexplained variances
• Partner with business unit leaders to support strategic decision-making, surface cost-reduction opportunities, and advise on process improvements that improve organizational performance
• Track and report operational KPIs alongside financial results, supporting plant leadership with the visibility they need to make informed, timely decisions
• Serve as the primary point of coordination for internal and external auditors, taxing authorities, and legal entities — organized, responsive, and compliant

• Lead the accounting team — managing hiring, workload allocation, performance management, training, and development; you set the standard by modeling it
• Develop, implement, and maintain documented accounting policies and procedures with a robust system of internal controls that mitigates risk before auditors find it
• Drive ERP optimization and implementation efforts, ensuring accounting systems support operational scale and financial reporting requirements
