Senior Controller / Hands‑On CFO

Location:

Indianapolis, Indiana – Onsite – Central Indiana – Manufacturing.
Job Type: Direct Hire.
Compensation: $100,000 - $150,000 per year.

We’re partnering with a well‑established, privately held manufacturing organization in Central Indiana to identify a hands‑on Senior Controller / CFO who enjoys being deeply involved in the day‑to‑day accounting while also serving as a strategic finance leader.

This is a working CFO role, ideal for someone who prefers to stay close to the numbers, lead a small team, and mentor the next generation of leadership – not sit in an ivory tower.

• True CFO seat with significant controller‑level responsibility
• Highly hands‑on – this role does real accounting work
• Oversight of a tight‑knit accounting team of three (Controller, AP, AR)
• Clear mentorship and succession plan for the current controller
• Casual, business‑casual culture (jeans + collared shirt environment)
• Stable leadership with strong financial support already in place
• Opportunity for someone in the later stage of their career to make a lasting impact

• Own corporate accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting
• Personally stay involved in month‑end close and complex accounting matters
• Serve as the primary contact for banks, auditors, and tax partners
• Oversee internal controls, audits, and compliance
• Lead cash‑flow analysis and financial planning
• Provide oversight of HR, payroll, benefits administration, and 401(k)
• Train, develop, and mentor the current controller to step into expanded responsibility over time

• Senior controller, controller, or CFO background
• Strong operational or manufacturing accounting experience
• Comfortable being both strategic and tactical
• Natural mentor and steady leader
• CPA preferred, not required
• Someone looking for stability, impact, and legacy, not job hopping

This role is best suited for a leader who values hands‑on work, people development, and long‑term contribution.
