Controller

Controller
Salary: $110,000–$160,000 + 5% Bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• This Controller role is with a long-standing, globally connected manufacturing organization with a strong reputation for producing high-quality, engineered products
• You will join a stable, close-knit team where tenure is strong and employees tend to stay and grow within the organization
• The Controller will work in a hands-on environment with direct visibility to both local leadership and global finance leadership through a parent organization
• This opportunity is open due to an upcoming retirement, creating a clear path into a well-established and fully functioning accounting operation
• The company offers a consistent schedule (7:00am–3:30pm, ~45-hour work week), business casual dress, and a collaborative, team-oriented culture
• This Controller role provides exposure to international operations and coordination with global finance teams, offering a unique cross-border accounting experience
• Strong stability with multiple Midwest locations and a manufacturing footprint that continues to support long-term demand

Key Responsibilities:
• Lead and manage a small accounting team including AP, AR, cost accounting, and cost estimating functions
• Oversee month-end and year-end close processes including preparation of accurate financial statements
• Manage the annual budgeting process and support forecasting activities
• Coordinate external audit preparation and ensure compliance with reporting requirements
• Prepare property tax filings and support other regulatory reporting requirements

Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
• 5+ years of manufacturing accounting experience required
• Cost accounting experience strongly preferred
• Experience managing or supervising accounting staff preferred
• Strong Excel skills and familiarity with ERP/accounting systems preferred
