Step into the top U.S. accounting leadership role for a manufacturing business preparing for its next chapter. This hands-on Controller opportunity offers real influence, operational partnership, and direct exposure to private equity exit readiness.

Salary: $175,000 to $190,000 plus 20 to 25% bonus

*Relocation Package*

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Play a key role in preparing the business for a future private equity exit
• Partner directly with manufacturing and operations leaders to drive cost visibility and plant performance
• Lead accounting transformation, process improvements, and system enhancements
• Hands-on role for leaders who prefer to own the work, not just review it
• Develop and mentor an accounting team with a clear focus on succession planning
• Platform role where your decisions will shape how the business scales and operates long term

Key Responsibilities for the US Controller:
• Own U.S. accounting operations, including general ledger, financial close, and reporting
• Lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close with accuracy and timeliness

• Direct AP, AR, general accounting, and cost accounting activities
• Partner with operations to improve manufacturing cost visibility
• Identify and resolve historical reconciliation issues, process gaps, and control weaknesses
• Support audit readiness and financial discipline in a PE-backed environment

Qualifications for the US Controller:

• Strong manufacturing and cost accounting background
• Proven ownership of full general ledger and close processes
• Multi-plant manufacturing accounting experience
