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
The Operations Partnership
- 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
The Team & Infrastructure
- 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
Who You Are
You hold the financial function to a standard that operations leaders respect and auditors can't challenge. You lead through credibility — earned in the details, demonstrated in the…
