Financial Controller

Job Description

Job Title:
Financial Controller

Location:
Seward, NE (On-site)

Salary: $85,000 – $135,000

This is not a typical Controller role.

We’re partnering with a growing organization in the agriculture sector that is launching a brand-new facility in the Seward, Nebraska area—and they’re hiring a Financial Controller to help build the accounting function from the ground up.

This is a newly created role, not a backfill. You won’t be inheriting someone else’s systems—you’ll be helping design, implement, and own them.

Even more compelling: you’ll be brought in before operations fully ramp, giving you the rare opportunity to get ahead of the business, learn the systems, and help shape how everything runs moving forward.

• Build vs. Maintain – Help create processes, systems, and structure from day one
• Runway to Learn & Implement – Join before full production ramps, not after
• Real Growth Potential – Role and compensation expected to grow as the operation scales
• High Visibility – Direct interaction with executive leadership and ownership
• Ownership & Autonomy – You will be the go-to person for all things accounting at this site

• Owning all accounting operations for the facility
• Ensuring accurate, timely financial reporting (P&L, balance sheet, GL, etc.)
• Implementing and improving internal controls
• Leading month-end close and reconciliation processes
• Supporting audit activities
• Overseeing a small team (AP, payroll/HR, admin)
• Partnering with leadership and contributing to financial visibility and decision-making
• Working within a new ERP environment being implemented

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (preferred)
• ~4+ years of accounting or finance experience
• Strong attention to detail and accountability
• Experience with ERP systems (any platform)
• Exposure to manufacturing, operations, or cost accounting is a plus
• Leadership experience or readiness to step into leadership

• A Controller who wants more ownership and impact
• A Senior Accountant ready to step up into a leadership role
• Someone who enjoys building systems—not just maintaining them
• A professional who thrives in a growing, evolving environment

• $85,000 – $135,000 base salary (depending on experience)
• Annual bonus structure
• 100% employer-paid family health insurance
• Dental and vision options (low-cost)
• PTO with flexibility based on experience
• Relocation assistance available

• Target start:
  Summer to early Fall
• Opportunity to join early and help shape the operation before full ramp-up

If you’ve ever wanted the chance to step into a role where you can truly build something, take ownership, and grow with it, this is that opportunity.
