Controller, Finance & Banking, Financial Manager

Duravex is a high-growth manufacturer based in Louisa, Virginia, specializing in sheet metal fabrication, welding, machining, coatings, and the design and build of turnkey mechanical systems. In addition to full system integration and production, we design custom equipment and collaborate with customers to refine and optimize their product designs. Our capabilities include UL 508A industrial control panels and electrical assemblies as part of broader engineered solutions.

Duravex is scaling rapidly to deliver engineered solutions across critical industries including defense, data infrastructure, industrial processing, and OEM manufacturing. Our capabilities are organized into five strategic verticals:
Engineered Plant Equipment, OEM Equipment, Data Infrastructure, Defense & Secure Facility Components, and Contract Manufacturing. Duravex is building a culture rooted in safety, precision, and continuous improvement—where smart, hands‑on leaders thrive.

Duravex is seeking a hands‑on, analytically strong Controller to own the company’s accounting, cash management, and financial reporting as we continue our next phase of growth. This is a hands‑on finance leadership role: the Controller will lead a small team (an Accountant to be hired, plus two office support staff with AR/AP and general office responsibilities) while remaining directly involved in closing the books, managing cash, and building forecasts that support business decisions.

The Controller is the financial backbone of Duravex—responsible for the integrity of the general ledger, month‑end and year‑end close, cash and treasury management, cost and inventory accounting, and forward‑looking FP&A. The role also owns month‑end management and board reporting, packaging financial information in clear, concise formats for decision‑makers. This role is ideal for a hands‑on Controller who wants to own the full finance function of a growing manufacturing business, not be one of many in a large corporate finance department.

The Controller reports directly to the CEO and partners closely with Operations, Sales, and Human Resources.

• Own the general ledger and full month‑end and year‑end close, targeting a timely, accurate close.
• Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) with clear variance analysis and commentary.
• Prepare month‑end management and board reports using a consistent, decision‑oriented format.
• Maintain a close checklist and reconciliation process for key accounts (cash, AR/AP, inventory/WIP, fixed assets, debt, and other major balances).
• Ensure accounting policies and procedures are documented, maintained, and consistently applied.
• Coordinate year‑end adjustments and supporting schedules with external CPA and tax advisors.

• Own daily and weekly cash management, including monitoring balances, inflows, and outflows.
• Develop and maintain a rolling 13‑week cash forecast tied to operations, capex, and debt service.
• Manage banking relationships, including covenant reporting, line‑of‑credit usage, and equipment financing.
• Oversee payment timing for vendors, payroll funding, tax payments, and capital expenditures to align with cash priorities.
• Provide clear, proactive visibility to the CEO on cash risk and upcoming obligations.

• Lead cost accounting, including job costing, WIP tracking, overhead application, and variance analysis.
• Work with Operations to ensure accurate capture of labor, material, and overhead in jobs and product lines.
• Oversee inventory valuation and controls (cycle counts, adjustments, and reconciliation between physical and system quantities).
• Support pricing, quoting, and make/buy decisions with accurate cost data and margin analysis.

• Lead development of the annual budget and periodic reforecasts (P&L and cash flow; balance sheet where appropriate).
• Build practical financial models to evaluate business scenarios, capital investments, and major customer/program opportunities.
• Develop monthly reporting and KPI packages for leadership,…
