Job Description
Controller
Orange, CT | Full-Time Onsite
$140K–$160K + Discretionary Bonus
Ready to step into a true leadership seat with a well-established, growing company — owning the finance function end-to-end and reporting straight to executive leadership? Whether you're a seasoned Controller or ready to take the next step in your career, this is a role built for someone looking to put down roots and grow with the company long-term.
ControllerOrange, CT | Full-Time, Onsite$140,000–$160,000 + Discretionary Bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Direct line to executive leadership, with your reporting and recommendations shaping company strategy
- True end-to-end ownership of the finance function — cash, payroll, AP/AR, inventory, and close, not just a piece of it
- Oversee 5 direct reports and multiple indirect reports, with real influence over team structure and culture
- Breadth beyond traditional accounting: banking, forecasting, POS/ordering systems, OSHA compliance, and vendor/customer relationships all in one seat
- Established systems and processes already in place (Sage, Paychex, EDI) — you're optimizing, not building from scratch
- A stable, well-regarded company in an environmentally-focused industry looking for a long-term partner, not just a placement
- Open to candidates ready to step up into their first Controller role, as well as seasoned leaders
Key Responsibilities
- Own daily cash management, banking relationships, bank reconciliations, and payables across domestic and international accounts
- Ensure accuracy of the general ledger and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
- Lead month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, and inventory costing in Sage
- Supervise payroll processing and oversee compliance with payroll tax regulations
- Oversee 5 direct reports and multiple indirect reports; monitor the POS/ordering system and support on-time shipping and fulfillment
- Oversee OSHA compliance, annual audit, tax filings, and HR/insurance renewal processes
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- Progressive accounting experience, including supervisory/team leadership
- Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting, and advanced Excel; experience with ERP and POS platforms a plus
