JAMCO Interiors is seeking an experienced and hands-on Assistant Controller to strengthen financial reporting, accounting analysis, and the quality of financial information across the business.

Reporting to the Senior Controller, this role will provide the technical and execution capacity needed to elevate the Controller's focus toward senior review, leadership, judgment, and accounting transformation. The Assistant Controller will lead critical accounting reviews and analyses, resolve complex issues, and convert accounting information into practical insights and solutions.

The role is intentionally focused on financial-information quality, analysis, controls, team development, and process improvement rather than direct ownership of routine transaction processing. The Assistant Controller will work closely with Accounting, Strategic Finance, Operations, Program Management, Engineering, Supply Chain, Information Technology, and tax and audit advisors.

This is an opportunity for a strong accounting professional who enjoys working through details, solving problems, developing others, and building simpler and more scalable processes within a complex aerospace engineering and manufacturing environment.

Lead key activities within the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, ensuring that financial information and supporting schedules are accurate, complete, timely, and consistently prepared.

Coordinate close deliverables across the Accounting team, identify issues and dependencies early, and support continued reduction of the close and reporting cycle.

Prepare and review corporate financial-reporting packages to ensure compliance with required deadlines, formats, accounting definitions, level of detail, supporting documentation, and management explanations.

Perform detailed reviews of financial results, significant variances, unusual items, and changes in estimates; clearly communicate conclusions, risks, and required actions to the Senior Controller and Finance leadership.

Improve the consistency and decision usefulness of financial reporting while maintaining a clear connection between subsidiary records, corporate requirements, and management reporting.

Review significant journal entries, accruals, reserves, allocations, cut-off, intercompany balances, and foreign-currency activity for accuracy, reasonableness, and appropriate support.

Evaluate the completeness and accuracy of estimates and judgemental balances, challenge unsupported assumptions, and coordinate corrective actions before reporting deadlines.

Identify recurring errors, unreconciled items, and control gaps; determine root causes and implement sustainable solutions with accountable process owners.

Lead the annual standard-cost setting process and periodic updates, including material, labor, overhead, burden rates, bills of material, routings, and alignment with expected manufacturing activity.

Review the accounting integrity of raw materials, work in process, finished goods, outside processing, and inventory held at third parties.

Analyze purchase-price, labor, overhead, manufacturing, usage, efficiency and production-volume variances; distinguish accounting issues from operational drivers and communicate actionable insights.

Support physical and cycle counts, inventory reconciliations, cut-off, scrap, obsolescence, excess inventory, and lower-of-cost-or-net-realizable-value assessments.

Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Program Management, and Strategic Finance to improve the connection among ERP transactions, production activity, inventory records, the general ledger, program performance, and management reporting.
