Controller, Finance & Banking, Financial Manager

Controller

Salary: $100,000–$120,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This Controller role joins a growing manufacturing organization that has recently completed an ERP conversion and is now focused on improving financial visibility, costing accuracy, and decision‑making. The business is at a pivotal stage and is seeking a hands‑on financial leader who can clarify margins, analyze variances, and partner with operations to drive profitability. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys influencing both day‑to‑day performance and long‑term growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all costing and profitability analysis, including margin variance identification, root‑cause analysis, and corrective action recommendations.
• Oversee cash flow and working capital through effective budgeting, forecasting, and liquidity management.
• Manage the month‑end close process, financial reporting, account reconciliations, and overall financial accuracy.
• Partner closely with operations to understand production workflows, cost drivers, and opportunities for operational improvement.
• Monitor cash cycles, DPO, and liquidity metrics; develop practical strategies to strengthen cash management while supporting growth initiatives.
• Support leadership decision‑making related to pricing, customer mix, profitability, and long‑term financial direction.
• Utilize Business Central and advanced Excel to analyze data, build models, and deliver actionable insights.

Qualifications:

• 5–7 years of accounting experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong background in cost accounting, including variance analysis, margin analysis, and financial modeling.
• Experience with Business Central or a similar ERP system, along with advanced Excel skills.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
• Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to influence financial and operational decisions.
• Confident, solutions‑oriented leader who constructively challenges assumptions and brings forward new ideas.

What You’ll Bring:

• Ability to quickly identify financial issues and implement meaningful improvements.
• Collaborative mindset with strong partnership skills across finance, operations, and leadership.
• Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to dig into details while maintaining a strategic perspective.
• Commitment to accuracy, continuous improvement, and driving profitability.
