Manufacturing Controller

We have been exclusively engaged by a fast-growing, privately held food and beverage manufacturer seeking an experienced Controller to lead accounting and financial operations across one of the subsidiary business units.

This role is ideal for someone who’s hands-on , thrives in a fast-paced environment , and enjoys building structure and process from the ground up in an entrepreneurial setting.

It’s also a great opportunity for a rising star —someone who wants real responsibility, the chance to prove what they can do , and the runway to grow into bigger things as the company continues to succeed. Even better, you’ll work closely with and be mentored by a CFO who’s known for growing and developing people.

What You’ll Do

Lead the monthly close and ensure accurate, GAAP-compliant reporting.

Oversee cash flow, AR / AP, and inventory management.

Strengthen cost accounting and margin reporting for better business insight.

Manage and develop small accounting teams across both locations.

Implement process improvements and drive consistency across entities.

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred.

8+ years of experience in accounting / finance, ideally in manufacturing or multi-entity environments.

Strong Excel skills.

Someone who can take the bull by the horns — proactive, organized, and confident managing competing priorities.

Why You’ll Love It

Visible, high-impact role with direct exposure to executive leadership.

Opportunity to bring structure and discipline to a growing organization.

Mentorship from a CFO who’s known for developing high performers.

Stable ownership with a strong long-term growth vision.

Competitive compensation and benefits package.
