The Vibe Check: Who Are You?

  • The Scrappy Leader: You’re a CPA with a mix of Public and Private accounting experience. You have the board-level strategic mindset to steer high-level finance, but you’re also humble enough to roll up your sleeves, jump into the weeds, and support your team when duty calls.
  • The Growth Partner: You don't just hand over reports; you bring actionable recommendations, spot operational efficiencies, and build solutions for scale.
  • The Multi-Entity Master: You know how to bring structure and clarity to complex operations with multiple business units and brand divisions.
  • The Food & CPG Fanatic: You thrive in food manufacturing, CPG, or restaurant/hospitality environments. You understand supply chain nuances, inventory, and margin strategy.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead & Mentor: Coach and inspire a talented team of assistant divisional controllers, building shared standards across multiple business lines.
  • Drive Financial Operations: Oversee month-end close, GL, AR/AP, cash flow management, tax, and annual audit processes.
  • Strategic Partnering: Work closely with cross-functional operational leaders, supporting budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial stewardship.
  • Systems Transformation: Play a pivotal, high-visibility role in an upcoming ERP migration, ensuring accounting needs are represented in system design and execution.


The Checklist (Must-Haves & Nice-to-Haves)

Credentials: Bachelor's in Accounting + CPA and Public/Private mix strongly preferred.

Experience: 7–10+ years of progressive accounting and financial leadership experience.

Industry Vibe: Strong background in food manufacturing, CPG, or multi-unit concepts.

Tech Superpower: Hands-on experience navigating ERP systems or leading an ERP transformation.

Location: Ability to work onsite in Seattle, WA.


Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Top-Tier Pay: $180,000 – $210,000 base salary + annual bonus plan.
  • Awesome Perks: Comprehensive health benefits, 401(k) match, paid holidays, PTO, and a 35% employee discount on some of the best food in the Pacific Northwest!
  • Mission-Driven Culture: You'll be joining a recognized "Great Place to Work" that supports real-food initiatives and community education.
