Company Overview

A privately held, vertically integrated manufacturing company, this organization specializes in producing high-quality, niche consumer products and operates with a strong focus on operational excellence, compliance, and innovation.

About the Role

The Controller will lead the organization’s full cycle accounting operations, reporting directly to the CFO. This is a highly visible role with an opportunity to take ownership of accounting processes, collaborate cross-functionally, and help shape the company’s financial future.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Tight-knit, collaborative team with a laid-back, yet accountable culture
• Low red tape, high impact: autonomy to streamline and build processes
• Strong mentorship and succession path under the current CFO
• Broad exposure across departments and the ability to influence strategy

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee the month-end close and preparation of accurate financial statements
• Partner with the CFO on budgets, forecasts, and financial planning
• Serve as lead contact for annual audit preparation and support
• Contribute to cross-functional initiatives and special projects

Ideal Candidate Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (Master’s is a plus)
• CPA strongly preferred
• Solid grasp of inventory, COGS, and manufacturing accounting
• ERP experience required; must be tech-savvy and adaptable to new systems
• Experience in small, privately backed environments is a plus
