Location: Seward, NebraskaCompensation: $85,000  $135,000 + bonus Build Something From the Ground Up  Not Just Maintain It Our client, a growing organization in the agriculture sector, is launching a brand-new facility in the Seward, Nebraska area and is hiring a Financial Controller to help build the accounting function from the ground up. This is a newly created role tied directly to expansionnot a backfill. If youve ever wanted the opportunity to step into a role where you can create structure, influence systems, and truly own the outcome, this is that opportunity. Even more compellingyoull be brought in before operations fully ramp, giving you the rare chance to get ahead of the business, understand how everything works, and help shape it the right way from the beginning. Why This Opportunity Stands OutThis role offers something most Controller positions dont:<ul><li>?? A true build opportunity  You wont inherit broken processes youll help create them the right way</li><li>?? Time to get ahead of the business  Join before things get busy, not after</li><li>? Growth tied to the operation  As the facility scales, so does your impact and scope</li><li>? High visibility  Work directly with executive leadership and play a key role in the business</li><li>? Real ownership  Youll be the go-to person for all things accounting at this site</li></ul> What Youll Be Responsible For<ul><li>Owning all accounting operations for the facility</li><li>Ensuring accuracy across financial reporting (P&L, balance sheet, general ledger)</li><li>Developing and implementing internal controls and processes</li><li>Leading month-end close and reconciliation processes</li><li>Supporting audit activities and ensuring financial integrity</li><li>Overseeing a small team (AP, payroll/HR, administrative support)</li><li>Serving as the internal expert on financial systems and ERP processes</li><li>Partnering with leadership to provide clear, reliable financial visibility</li></ul> Who This Role Is Ideal For<ul><li>A Controller who wants more ownership and the ability to make an impact</li><li>A Senior Accountant ready to step into a leadership role</li><li>Someone who enjoys building, improving, and taking initiative</li><li>A professional who thrives in a growing, evolving environment</li></ul> What Theyre Looking For<ul><li>Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (preferred)</li><li>~4+ years of accounting or finance experience (flexible for strong candidates)</li><li>Strong attention to detail and accountability</li><li>Experience working with ERP systems (implementation experience is a plus)</li><li>Exposure to manufacturing, operational, or cost accounting environments preferred</li><li>Leadership experienceor the ability and desire to grow into it</li></ul> Compensation & Benefits<ul><li>Base salary: $85,000  $135,000 (commensurate with experience)</li><li>Annual bonus structure</li><li>100% employer-paid family health insurance</li><li>Dental and vision options (low-cost)</li><li>PTO flexibility based on experience</li><li>Relocation assistance available</li></ul> Timing & Ramp-Up<ul><li>Target start: Summer through early Fall</li><li>Opportunity to join early and help shape the operation before full ramp-up</li></ul> The Bottom LineThis isnt a role where youre stepping into someone elses structure. Its a role where youll help build it, own it, and grow with it. If thats the kind of opportunity youve been looking for, its worth a conversation.
