We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Corporate Controller to lead the accounting and financial reporting functions for a stable, growing mid-size organization. This position will partner closely with executive leadership and operational management to ensure timely, accurate financial information, strong internal controls, effective budgeting and forecasting, and disciplined financial processes across the organization.
This is a key leadership role with direct visibility to executive management and the opportunity to influence financial and operational performance.
· A stable organization with the scale and complexity to provide meaningful professional challenge and long-term career opportunity.
Ideal Candidate

This individual should bring a practical business mindset and be able to translate financial information into clear recommendations for non-financial leaders.
· Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and management reporting packages for executive leadership.
· Develop, maintain, and improve internal controls, accounting policies, procedures, and financial processes to safeguard company assets and ensure accuracy.
· Lead the annual budgeting process and ongoing forecasting; provide variance analysis and actionable financial insight to department and operational leaders.
· Oversee cash flow planning, banking relationships, debt reporting, and working-capital management.
· Coordinate external audit, tax, insurance, and other financial compliance activities in partnership with outside advisors.
· Ensure compliance with applicable GAAP requirements and company policies.
· Partner with operations to analyze costs, margins, productivity, capital expenditures, and business performance.
· Manage, coach, and develop accounting team members while establishing clear expectations, accountability, and succession depth.
· Support payroll accounting, benefits-related financial reconciliations, and other cross-functional financial processes as appropriate.
· Evaluate systems and processes and help drive technology, reporting, and automation improvements.
· Provide financial analysis and support for strategic initiatives, capital investments, acquisitions, and other business decisions as needed.
