What are Associate Controllers?

Associate Controllers are finance professionals who support the Controller of an organization in managing accounting operations, financial reporting, and compliance. They assist with preparing financial statements, overseeing internal controls, and ensuring adherence to accounting standards and regulations. Associate Controllers may also supervise accounting staff, help with audits, and contribute to budgeting and forecasting processes. This role is often considered a step toward more senior finance leadership positions within a company.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Associate Controller, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Associate Controller, you need a robust understanding of accounting principles, financial reporting, and compliance, generally backed by a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and often a CPA certification. Expertise in ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, advanced Excel skills, and knowledge of GAAP or IFRS standards are commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, leadership, and effective communication help drive accuracy and collaboration across teams. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring reliable financial operations, regulatory compliance, and sound decision-making within an organization.

How does an Associate Controller typically collaborate with other departments within an organization?

An Associate Controller often works closely with various departments such as operations, HR, and IT to ensure accurate financial reporting and compliance. They may coordinate budget preparation sessions, clarify spending policies, and help interpret financial data for non-financial managers. Regular interaction with department heads is common, as the Associate Controller provides guidance on financial procedures and helps resolve discrepancies. This cross-functional collaboration is essential for maintaining strong internal controls and supporting organizational goals.

Job description

Controller (Full-Time)

Location: Brookville, Ohio
Position Type: Full-Time, Onsite
Reports To: President & CEO

Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced and hands-on Controller to join their team in Brookville, Ohio. This position is evolving from a contract-based function into a full-time leadership role due to company growth and the need for a dedicated, long-term financial leader.

This is not a sit-back Controller role. We're looking for someone who will roll up their sleeves, take ownership of the numbers, and build structure where needed.

The Controller will oversee all accounting operations, ensure financial accuracy, and provide strategic insight to support continued expansion and operational efficiency.

What You'll Own
  • Full ownership of day-to-day accounting operations:
    • General ledger, A/P, A/R, payroll, and reconciliations
  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual close—done right and done on time
  • Preparation and analysis of financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling to support growth
  • Cash flow management and banking relationships
  • Development and enforcement of internal controls and accounting policies
  • Coordination with external CPA, tax advisors, and auditors
  • Financial insight for leadership—what's working, what's not, and where to improve
  • Cost analysis, margin improvement, and KPI tracking across operations
  • Transitioning accounting from a supported/contract function to a fully owned internal process
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • CPA or CMA is a plus, but not required
  • 5–10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership responsibility
  • Experience in manufacturing, construction, or industrial environments strongly preferred
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and financial reporting
  • Experience with ERP/accounting systems (QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, or similar)
  • Comfortable working in an environment where not everything is perfectly built yet
  • Ability to both execute and improve—not just maintain
  • High level of ownership, accountability, and follow-through
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work directly with leadership
What Success Looks Like
  • Financials are clean, accurate, and on time—no surprises
  • Leadership has clear visibility into performance and cash flow
  • Processes are structured, documented, and repeatable
  • The accounting function runs smoothly without outside dependency
  • You become a trusted financial voice within the organization
Why This Role
  • Key leadership role in a company that is actively growing
  • Position created as part of the company's next phase—not a backfill due to failure
  • Opportunity to build, improve, and leave your fingerprint on the business
  • Direct access to decision-makers and real influence
