Controller - Business Unit

Location : Seymour, CT (On-Site)

Compensation : $165,000 - $180,000 + 25% target bonus

About Our Client

Our client is a growing organization within the distribution and logistics sector, committed to operational excellence and continuous improvement. The Controller plays a critical role in bridging finance with warehouse, logistics, and supply chain operations - ensuring accurate reporting, driving efficiencies, and supporting scalable, standardized processes across locations.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • High-Impact Leadership - Shape financial processes across multiple warehouse and distribution centers.
  • Operational Visibility - Work directly with operations, supply chain, and corporate finance for end-to-end financial alignment.
  • Process Improvement Focus - Lead initiatives in inventory accuracy, ERP upgrades, reporting transparency, and internal controls.
  • Cross-Functional Influence - Act as the key liaison between corporate teams and on-site operations.
  • Growth Environment - Join an organization committed to modernization, data integrity, and continuous improvement.

Core Responsibilities of the Business Unit Controller :

Controllership

  • Maintain accurate financial records for distribution operations and ensure compliance with company accounting policies.
  • Support the rollout of standardized accounting processes and strong internal controls across all locations.
  • Review account reconciliations and ensure integrity of all balance sheet accounts.
  • Monitor cash balances, optimize positive cash flow, and remit excess cash to corporate timely.
  • Assist with streamlining the Chart of Accounts and improving reporting clarity.
  • Support ERP upgrades, integrations, and financial systems enhancements.
  • Partner with Corporate Accounting and FP&A to support the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) process.

    • Financial Reporting

  • Lead accurate and timely month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.
  • Prepare and review financial reporting and operational performance metrics (inventory turns, freight expense, distribution costs, etc.).
  • Analyze financial results to identify anomalies, opportunities, and cost-saving measures.
  • Develop criteria for "addback" adjustments consistent with corporate guidance.
  • Provide variance analysis and performance insights to Corporate Accounting and FP&A.
  • Assist in building dashboards and management reports to strengthen visibility into financial performance.

    • Inventory & Distribution Cost Management

  • Monitor and reconcile inventory balances across all distribution centers.
  • Partner with operations to improve cycle count accuracy, reduce shrink, and minimize obsolescence.
  • Track and analyze freight and handling costs; identify improvement opportunities.
  • Support initiatives aimed at optimizing distribution center productivity and efficiency.
  • Collaborate with logistics teams to track inbound shipments that impact sales forecasting.

    • Internal Controls & Compliance

  • Establish and maintain internal controls for inventory, freight, and warehouse-related transactions.
  • Work with Corporate Accounting to maintain strong segregation of duties.
  • Ensure adherence to corporate policies, GAAP, and regulatory / tax requirements.
  • Support annual external audits by preparing documentation and explaining distribution-related activity.

    • Team Collaboration & Development

  • Build strong partnerships with distribution and supply chain leadership to align financial reporting with operational priorities.
  • Provide guidance and development for accounting staff; assist with training to expand responsibilities.
  • Collaborate with accounting teams across other locations to drive consistency and best practices.
  • Promote a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.

    • Qualifications, Skills & Competencies :

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required ; CPA / CMA preferred but not required.
  • 5-7 years of progressive accounting experience in distribution, logistics, or manufacturing environments.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and operational accounting.
  • ERP experience and advanced Excel skills required.
  • Experience with inventory management and freight accounting is a STRONG PLUS.
  • High attention to detail with excellent organizational skills.
  • Effective communication skills and ability to partner across departments.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Continuous improvement mindset with a focus on efficiency and standardization.
