US Controller – Minnesota – Twin Cities

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

Relocation Package Available

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.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Serve as the #1 U.S. accounting leader with end-to-end ownership and visibility
  • 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
  • Based in the Twin Cities area — offering a high quality of life, strong professional community, and a cost of living meaningfully lower than most major metros

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
  • Oversee accounting across two U.S. manufacturing facilities and corporate functions
  • 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

Qualifications for the US Controller:

  • Prior experience as a Controller or senior accounting leader
  • Strong manufacturing and cost accounting background
  • Proven ownership of full general ledger and close processes
  • Multi-plant manufacturing accounting experience
