Accounting | Full-Time, Exempt | On-Site | Waxahachie, TX

Americase is a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered transportation, storage, and protective container solutions, serving customers across a wide array of industries where safety, quality, performance, and reliability are essential.

Americase is experiencing exceptional growth and is evolving from an entrepreneurial manufacturing business into a larger, multi-site, and increasingly complex enterprise. We are seeking a Corporate Controller who can build the accounting infrastructure, financial discipline, systems, and team required to support that growth.

The Corporate Controller is the senior accounting leader responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of Americase's financial reporting. Reporting to the CFO, the Controller will lead the accounting organization, own financial reporting and the monthly close, establish rigorous inventory and cost-accounting practices across multiple facilities, strengthen internal controls, and build scalable accounting systems and processes.

A central priority of this position will be creating consistent inventory-control and cost-accounting practices as Americase expands its manufacturing footprint. The Controller must be comfortable working directly with plant leadership, operations, supply chain, procurement, and engineering to ensure the financial records accurately reflect activity occurring on the manufacturing floor.

This is a hands-on leadership position. The successful candidate must be equally comfortable reviewing detailed reconciliations, investigating inventory or manufacturing variances, developing accounting team members, and advising senior leadership on financial and operational risks. The Controller will also oversee and maintain day-to-day banking activities and relationships and will work closely with the FP&A Lead. The Controller is accountable for the integrity of historical financial results and underlying accounting data, while FP&A leads budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, and forward-looking performance analysis.

• Lead the development and implementation of consistent inventory-control and cost-accounting processes across all Americase facilities.
• Establish clear accounting procedures for purchasing, receiving, material issuance, production reporting, inventory transfers, work-in-process, finished goods, scrap, rework, and shipping.
• Ensure the perpetual inventory records and general ledger are accurately reconciled by facility and inventory category.
• Audit and review the cycle-count and physical-inventory programs, including count procedures, variance investigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Ensure appropriate accounting transactions are recorded for raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, consigned inventory, inventory in transit, and inventory located at suppliers or third-party manufacturers.
• Maintain and continuously improve Americase's product-costing methodology, including material costs, bills of material, routings, labor rates, burden rates, overhead allocations, and standard or actual costs.
• Analyze material, labor, purchase-price, usage, efficiency, overhead, scrap, and other manufacturing variances.
• Partner with operations and supply chain leadership to identify the operational causes of unfavorable variances and implement corrective actions.

• Lead all general accounting activities and ensure the timely and accurate preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
• Own the monthly close process, including the close calendar, journal entries, account reconciliations, consolidations, management review, and resolution of accounting issues.
• Establish and consistently meet an appropriate monthly close timetable while improving reporting accuracy and usefulness.
• Oversee the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash application, fixed assets, expense reporting, and related accounting functions.
• Maintain a scalable chart of accounts and reporting structure that supports analysis by facility,…
