US Controller
US Controller - Minnesota - Twin Cities
Step into the top U.S. accounting leadership role for a manufacturing business preparing for its next chapter. This hands‑on controller opportunity offers real influence, operational partnership, and direct exposure to private equity exit readiness.
Salary: $175,000 to $190,000 plus 20%–25% bonus
Relocation Package:
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Serve as the U.S. accounting leader with end‑to‑end ownership and visibility
- Based in the Twin Cities area – offering a high quality of life, strong professional community, and a cost of living meaningfully lower than most major metros
- Play a key role in preparing the business for a future private equity exit
- Partner directly with manufacturing and operations leaders to drive cost visibility and plant performance
- Lead accounting transformation, process improvements, and system enhancements
- Hands‑on role for leaders who prefer to own the work, not just review it
- Develop and mentor an accounting team with a clear focus on succession planning
- Platform role where your decisions will shape how the business scales and operates long term
Key Responsibilities for the US Controller:
- Own U.S. accounting operations, including general ledger, financial close, and reporting
- Lead month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close with accuracy and timeliness
- Oversee accounting across two U.S. manufacturing facilities and corporate functions
- Direct AP, AR, general accounting, and cost accounting activities
- Partner with operations to improve manufacturing cost visibility
- Identify and resolve historical reconciliation issues, process gaps, and control weaknesses
- Support audit readiness and financial discipline in a PE‑backed environment
Qualifications for the US Controller:
- Prior experience as a controller or senior accounting leader
- Strong manufacturing and cost accounting background
- Proven ownership of full general ledger and close processes
- Multi‑plant manufacturing accounting experience
