Controller (Hybrid)
Salary: $165,000–$180,000 + Bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• This Controller role is with a well-established, privately held distribution and manufacturing organization with a strong history of stability and long-term growth
• You’ll join a highly collaborative executive team with direct exposure to the CFO, who is committed to mentoring and developing future finance leadership
• The organization has a multi-decade operating history and continues to expand through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including multi-location operations
• This opportunity is opening due to an upcoming retirement, creating a rare chance to step into a fully functioning and well-established accounting operation
• The Controller role offers hybrid flexibility after onboarding, a casual work environment, strong work-life balance, and competitive benefits including a 401(k) match and robust PTO package
• Clear long-term pathway toward expanded leadership responsibilities, including potential future CFO progression
Key Responsibilities:
• Oversee core accounting functions including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and reconciliations
• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statement preparation in accordance with GAAP
• Serve as primary contact for external audits and ensure compliance with all reporting requirements
• Oversee sales tax filings, regulatory compliance, and multi-entity accounting responsibilities
• Manage, develop, and support the accounting team while driving efficiency and accuracy in the close process
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA preferred
• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including prior Controller or equivalent leadership experience
• Strong background in manufacturing or distribution environments with exposure to inventory and operational accounting preferred
